Episode 142 - BULLYING AT ROEDEAN: PART 3 The school is not safe
Show Notes

In this edition of In The Ring, I am joined by Sunday Times investigative reporter Sabelo Skiti who wrote the story about the recent bullying scandal at Roedean including a fracas involving parents ( https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/news/2022-11-27-parents-of-roedean-bullies-in-ugly-school-fight/ )

We explore a number of issues including: a) damning findings from an educational psychologist about institutional failure on the part of Roedean; b) corporate creep or corporatism on the part of the school board; c) the danger of political overreach in how schools are engaged when there are complaints; d) teachers who are invisble in this narrative; e) wealthy and politically connected parents who are entitled; f) centering the paramount interests of the children (or failing to do so).
