A teacher's story: Victoria

Help Robina

Robina Cosser has contacted the webmaster to ask for help in her research.

Robina says: I need your help.

I began my protest websites in November 2004, when I lost all faith in the Queensland Department of Education investigation process.

Now my eyesight is worrying me - I am making lots of spelling errors - my hearing is rapidly fading - obviously I am not going to be able to continue the websites much longer.

But nothing seems to have changed.

Queensland teachers are still being Managing Unsatisfactory Performance-attacked and driven into ill health and out of work.

Or to suicide.

I have decided to write a book about what I have learned about the way that Australian teachers are being attacked and driven out of work. Historical link preserved from the original page.

A book may be more effective than a website.

I can't tell my own story because I don't want to defame anybody or drive any of my own bullies to suicide.

But I can spot common patterns of abuse in other people's stories.

I have already sourced several documents written by bullied teachers.

But more would be useful.

Can you write your own story and send me a copy?

Here is an example of the sort of well-written, clearly explained story that I need: http://www.badapplebullies.com/thelibrariansstory.htm Historical link preserved from the original page.

I will not identify people in the text - the book will not be my story or your story, it will be a book of common patterns of behaviour.

But I will dedicate the book to all of the teachers whose stories I have told - if that is what you would like.

So none of us will have defamed anybody but all of us will have told our stories.

Or, if you do not want to be identified, send your handwritten or printed document to: Robina Cosser, PO BOX 156, Edge Hill, 4870

Please do not send attachments for obvious reasons.

We can do this!
