My sister had to change the school her younger son attended because of relentless bullying which the teachers didn't recognise or acknowledge. The most common complaint of parents whose children are bullied at school is that the school either didn't acknowledge it or didn't do anything about it.

..I do agree that bullying takes place in all kind of environments and primary schools as well but I also know that not every clash of personality is bullying as well..which are my feelings about the characters in the CBB house...I'm sorry for your own personal experiences and those of your friends and family, I'm sure you do a good job in trying to recognise bullying now in your job and acting on it, which is a great asset to the children at your school...
