A very recent case of bullying in a local secondary school has raised the ire of a local community. Not only that but that the Principal has permitted the bullies back into the school within a couple of days of the event.
Now the Education Act states that all children between the ages of 6to 16 years must be educated in an acceptable institution, be public/Private school or home schooling.
The principal is now being castigated for accepting these young (thugs) back into the class room. His stated reason, is that it is better to have them in school being educated, than that they should finish up being criminals. It is a strong possibility, that the Police may press charges against these same young people.
The pity of the situation is that a young woman has head injuries that may effect her for the rest of her life apart from having to miss out on some of her schooling.
That and the fact that these same group of aggressors are going be branded for the rest of their lives, that they were bullies.
The news media is certainly not going to let their families forget.
I guess my question is, "Will justice be served"?
