Bully Check?
May 25th, 2012 at 7:19am
 
The State Government are really doing lazy policy. This is a pure case of laziness in a lame attempt to do something about bullying.

This has near no chance of doing anything except creating more problems for a group of people who despite being bullies were more than most likely also victims when children from bettering their lives.

"Under the BullyCheck system, to be launched today, 12 large employers of people aged from 17 to 22 will be asked to allow reference checks from their schools to determine if they were bullies. Should they fail this character test, they won't be employed."

Typical big brother attitude, if you don't do anything wrong you won't have to worry.

LOL, have they taken a look at parliament and government departments. Health and Education have always been renowned for their fierce bullying practices.

I can vouch for Qld Education, they must be numero uno on the bully scale.

Amazing, here is a clear example of stupid policy worth a debate and what nothing. Yet the 2000th thompson thread has gone up and the hate posts continue. I real question this site. it has become obsessed with self hate and anger.

I don't understand why a government should even attempt to do anything about bullying.  Wherever there are social interactions between 2 or more parties, 1 will dominate the other(s) sometimes more than they should.  It's not a governments job to regulate personal interactions.

I think many of the initiatives within schools have been good. They have definitely produced outcomes.

Does anyone else see the rise in childhood obesity after the crackdown on schoolyard bullies?

Yeah the fat bullies are not taking junk food off the other kids anymore, so instead of a couple of fat bullies, we have lots of obese kids.

MMM now there is an interesting thought. I actually had more thoughts than that, that this is a punishment for a child's behaviour, and that most child bullies are actually bullied at home or come from troubled homes. But most of all i was appalled that a Government would involve itself in such cheap point scoring over the lives of young people when it is lacking the true courage to face the real problem of childhood abuse and domestic disfunction.

The first time a person finds out they were rejected for employment by a school recommendation the ligation will start.
I seem to have a fuzy memory of a case already where someone was sued for a bad reference.

That's typical bullying behaviour.

What is bullying behaviour?  maybe you would like to clarify your statement. It would seem more likely that you are trying to develop the standard loop approach to anything you don't understand and trash it.

A bully sueing for being called a bully - typical bullying behaviour.

The fat ones are usually the ones that are picked on because they are a minority. The "epidemic" is far from that. As I said before I live across the road form a school and my sister works @ another school and neither school has more than maybe 1 fat kid. Thats not an epidemic.

On the other hand one of my sisters kids is a bit of a bully @ school apparently. They are dealing with him by putting him in "leadership" classes. Yeah! Wow! That sounds like a great idea! Teach him how to boss ppl around!
