1/ After talking to some of my colleagues in person & over social media, I am shocked that even Post COVID19, the toxic level of bullying, unfairness & quite frankly, discrimination in schools have not let up.
Looking at our bat poo-poo world, I would have thought,
2/ That those in positions of authority would have been more compassionate about the wellbeing of their staff.
This is not a pop at SLT/Mid Management - I know many very hardworking, honest & virtuous leaders that are leading their staff the best they can & I salute you.
3/ But I am calling out the management who deny good worthy staff opportunities. Who make their team do their work because they want an ‘easy life.’ Who demean & humiliate their staff & punish those who call them out of their poor behaviour. Those who take joy
4/ out of making their teams lives miserable. There is a silent bully culture in some schools that must be called out to preserve the mental health of the teachers within. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, respect & honour
5/ & that’s absolutely priceless. There is no money in the world that someone can pay you to treat you like garbage.
I can’t stand bullies & feel that it’s important to point this out on #Edutwitter - Bullying damages people’s lives.
Let’s be kind to each other.
6/ You never know what someone is going through.
We spend most of our waking hours in work. Let’s not make it a living hell for our colleagues.
Fin.
