Teacher 'depressed' after student attack, AAP
Queensland State School teacher suffers a complete breakdown after allegedly enduring years of workplace bullying at a Queensland special school.
A 49-year-old female Queensland teacher is suing the Queensland Department of Education.
The teacher alleges that she has suffered years of bullying by the female head of special education services at a special needs school in south-eastern Queensland.
And a 44 year old female teacher's aide at the same special school has made similar allegations.
Trilby Misso Lawyers have issued a statement concerning verbal abuse, violent behaviour, etc.
The teacher and the teacher's aide had both complained to the school principal and to Education Queensland.
But the principal and Education Queensland both seemed to "turn a blind eye" to the situation.
Lawyer Gillian Klanke said that, after years of verbal abuse and intimidation, the teacher finally suffered a completed breakdown.
Trilby Misso Lawyers are preparing a notice of claim against WorkCover.
Teacher sues alleging years of bullying, Angela Harper, 9NEWS, Monday 7 September, 2009.
Teaching has become a horrible profession.
I am a Beginning Teacher in an extremely difficult school, and I have to say that after only 2 years out of uni, I am already planning alternative career paths.
Teaching has become a horrible profession.
Adolescents are completely aware of their rights and the most we can do to discipline them is a joke to them.
Parents don’t discipline their children and don’t support teachers in trying to implement school-based penalties like after-school detentions or such.
I see bullying occurring and am completely powerless to do anything about it.
And the victims know it as well.
All I can do is tell them to fill out incident slips but they don’t bother with them because they know nothing will get done about it.
It’s just an endless cycle.
