There has been a lot of discussion around the topic of bullying lately. To be honest all schools will have issues around bullying at various stages of the year, most of it is around verbal bullying and a lot of it happens when teachers and adults and not around.
As teachers we have too make judgement calls when children come to us and complain that they have been bullied or that another child has spoken disrespectfully to them. We will take actions we think are necessary to punish the bullies, but we also try to teach the victim how to react if someone is not talking respectfully to them.
I as a parent I know we won't always get it right. Especially when it is one child's word against another. it is the same with teaching. We do however treat those that do bully seriously.
