Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about the ways teachers and school administrations bully children. Teachers and school officials are powerful people in a child's life. Schools and teachers are gatekeepers to success in life or indelible hurt and failure. Children bullied by such powerful people have scars that last a lifetime. This book explains the roots of bullying and case studies of children bullied by teachers.
When teachers bully students, other students observe. They know whom it is okay to bully and how to bully and get away with it. How many follow their teachers' example? Bullied children become targets for other children to bully. Teachers are teaching bully tactics. Until teachers stop bullying, students will continue to bully each other.
When early childhood children are bullied, they have no concept that they are being bullied by teachers. Not only do they not know what to do about the bad feelings that result, but they also do not know it is a result of teacher bullying. There is no way they know how to get help.
