Bullying and the school
One aspect that hasn’t been highlighted is when the perpetrator is a teacher or principal. A small number of individuals claim this has been the case.
This problem isn’t addressed by the present system. A typical school board is made up of chairperson, two community representatives and two dhairperson’s nominees, two parental representatives who are not allowed to represent parents, and the principal and a teachers’ representative. Schools do have parent associations but they are only to support the schools. So who would a parent highlight this issue to as they aren’t entitled to a say in the school and the board is naturally biased in favour of teachers or principals?
