Over 15 years ago I was bullied out of my teaching career. The bully was promoted.
Over 15 years ago I was "bullied" out of my teaching career, and my health destroyed, by a principal and her "disciples".
I was "mobbed".
The Ed. Dept.accepted my claim.
My bully kept her job and was promoted.
My health was permanently damaged, my career was destroyed and I was given a pathetic "payout" as compensation... all of which is typical.
As part of my re-habilitation, and in an attempt to come to terms with what had happened, I set up a "help-line" then a Website... spoke at Conferences etc... and CONSTANTLY advised that if you don't address the bullying of teachers then you'll never be able to begin to reduce SCHOOL YARD bullying!!!
... but no-one was listening.
