Did Liston even phone you or was Jake made to go back to class like Christian was?<br /><br />The first we'd ever hear about it would be when Christian got home. Even if he begged them to phone us and told them he was upset they would not.<br /><br />Contrast that with the new school (for those who don't know, both Jake and Christian are now in the same school) where if he needs us he is allowed to use the phone.<br /><br />How long ago did you remove Jake from Liston?<br /><br />I am just wondering about avenues we can pursue. There are a couple of Ministry of Education type options but from what I have found out they don't really have any powers - wet bus ticket type tellings off is about all they can do, there are so many complaints and not enough people investigating that they only look into the really terrible bullying anyway and that takes ages.<br /><br />We are about to send Liston's BOT another letter as we have graciously given them 3 months to read our 16 page complaint and respond which they have not. I could try taking them to court but there is no precedent for our demand for a refund so no guarantees there - apparently no one has tried that route though the education lawyer we spoke to agreed with me (my speciality is not education law) that it was an argument that might fly.<br /><br />I am wondering about Fair Go? Whether that would be simpler? It would embarrass the school, force them to take a long hard look at themselves - it is not like they have not been given an opportunity to sort this in house.Madeleinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-7314479206730596152009-08-19T14:28:10.000+12:002009-08-19T14:28:10.000+12:00Jakes experience was horrible, he was bullyied bec...Jakes experience was horrible, he was bullyied because of his size, the teachers found Jake in the room with the five boys that had locked him in it. Jake was in a ball on the floor. The teacher couldnt unlock the door because one of the students had hold of it from the inside. In the dark room they all set about him, punching him, kicking him, pushing him. The teacher just told them all to go back to class and acted as though nothing had happened. Mr Mckente was the teacher, that sent them back to there class. The very first time that Jake was ever bullied, the school told me that Jake's safety was paramount. Im sorry but walking away from what you can see was a group assault and very well planned, doesnt in my eyes make you a very good teacher or person. I know at the time the seniors were doing their exams and the teacher used this as an excuse. Even Mr Rooney didnt want to know. The one boy that was expelled from the school, was only brought before the board because he had constantly been in trouble before. Had he not he would have gotten away with it. When I sent Jake to his new school, the expelled bully was there also. I made the new school aware of the situation nd they dealt with it brilliantly, they made it clear to the boy what would happen if he were to approach Jake in anyway. He only lasted at school for two terms before he was expelled again for causing trouble.<br /><br />Liston college needs a wake up call before somebody gets seriously hurt. These boys they are teaching are children, and should be tought to coexist with each other not encouraged to fight.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-65964094244034651572009-08-19T14:17:07.000+12:002009-08-19T14:17:07.000+12:00I have the pictures and the letters from the youth...I have the pictures and the letters from the youth department at the Police station to prove that they admitted what they did as they were all made to write apologies to Jake, they were not very good ones, I must admit. Jakes was traumatised very badly by this and I had to home school him for nearly three months, before he could go to another school. I also will ask the police department for jakes statements. I never got a refund from the school at all. I rember sending an email to Mrs Bunce and I think I still have it. I will look for it and her reply.<br /><br />I will do what I can. I have already contact the ERO and you can report them quite easliy with very little evidence. If we could get hold of other students who have been pulled out for the same reasons, i think we might have a a better chance.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-77457830091082745692009-08-17T14:06:31.000+12:002009-08-17T14:06:31.000+12:00I think you are right Jennifer.

Now I know that Christian was not the first I feel even more certain he won't the last child at Liston to be suffering as a result of the school's attitude.<br /><br />The fact that the Board of Trustees has not even responded acknowledgement of receipt of our formal complaint let alone attempted to answer it or provide some sort of explanation is appalling.<br /><br />Can you document any of your experience with them? Do you have emails or medical reports or police complaints? We have quite a bit and I can make an official information request regarding the one time we did report it to the police to get Christian's formal statement and the photos of his injuries that the police took. Your own recollections are still powerful evidence but anything more concrete is better.<br /><br />There are several options available, I think it is a matter of working out which one has the best teeth.Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-61882564966464343712009-08-17T11:40:56.000+12:002009-08-17T11:40:56.000+12:00Maybe we should report the school to the corect au...Maybe we should report the school to the corect authorities and make them aware that they are allowing such brutal behaviour in their classrooms and are turning a blind eye.

I'm assuming that they are looking at this as Christian has left the school so problem over.<br /><br />Of course it is true that Christian attracts bullies, there has been bullying at the new school, but the difference that phoning the parents of the bullies on the first instance and hauling them over the coals and threatening them with suspension on the first instance has made is amazing. The bullying has pretty much stopped - there has been none for weeks - Christian is not living in daily apprehension, is able to concentrate on his education and has only had about 2-3 panic attacks in total in the 2 months he has been at the new school - major improvement.<br /><br />He is still not happy about being in a non-Christian school, he finds the values of his peers extremely frustrating and the sex-ed classes so explicit he sits out, and is one of the only students who does. He is also finding that the workload, despite his being in the top stream at this school, is not as challenging as Liston's (he is a kid who likes to learn). But these are small prices to pay for not suffering panic attacks 4-5 times a week and feeling utterly alone and on edge every day at school.Madeleinenoreply@blogger.com
