I...Hi Karin and thanks for your valid remarks here. It is very hard when children are subject to bullying in their own homes as they are likely then to want to have that power over someone else. They can be powerless in their own situation and it can make them feel powerful to bully someone else. Education is the key but to find a way to reach people and change their minds and hearts is a long and slow business. We all have to do what we can. Teachers in general are doing the best they can to address the issues around bullying. I've known of people taking a child out of school and home-schooling for six months. Each situation has to be managed individually. What is right for one might not be right for another. I wish I had all the answers!

It shouldn't happen, but it does. Parents going to see the teachers to seek help are told that it will be looked into, but often isn't. These children continue to be bullied, the bullies escalating their violent behaviour because they think they can get away with it. <br />How are teachers supposed to keep tabs on all the bullies with limited resources to do so?<br />I agree Kerry, teaching good values starts at home but what about all those children that don't have that upbringing, who will teach them? <br /><br /><br /> Kazablancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765626198947801091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654085052035885845.post-21710843037253504782013-09-19T15:50:21.621+10:002013-09-19T15:50:21.621+10:00Amen to thatAmen to thatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
