English/UK Advocates for Ethical Behavior!
As the site will demonstrate, the English are making greater progress in
fighting the corruption in their schools than we are.
Bully OnLine (listed below) reports that, "since
1996, teachers and lecturers have been the largest group of enquirers
to the UK National
Workplace Bullying Advice Line and Bully
OnLine. In the majority of cases, the head teacher is a
serial bully with a record of destroying staff; in such cases, bullying is
endemic within the school. Some teacher cases (Darlington
Borough Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Harrogate
Grammar School)."
 | British Broadcasting Corporation - Exemplary
Education News Coverage
The American Society for Ethics in Education wishes to
commend the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for their exemplary work
in bringing the atrocities suffered by English educators while trying to
teach children. Unlike their American counterparts, the BBC regularly
reports on the horrors within the British education system. The BBC is also
unafraid to report on the severe stress related illnesses of their
educators. Here are just a few examples of the responsible reporting that
occurs in England:
 | Big
Payout for Stressed Teacher (May 11, 2000) - This poor man has
suffered SEVERELY at the hands of yet another vicious administrator.
Unlike American teachers, however, this educator had assistance from his
union. |
 | "Schools Stress Inquiry
Urged" (April 24, 2000) - This article,
from the BBC News documents that work place stress kills and disables
teachers. American teachers will want to read this article! |
 | "Academics'
