Real Concern Is As 'Real Concern' Does

All power to those - both TV1 in highlighting the recent Film Festival film, Bully, and its related circumstances, and the Government - or so I understand - vis-a-vis the increasing terror/horror of the modern and typically cowardly 'art' of  'cyber bullying'. For highlighting an issue the de facto parents of the nation's kids, i.e. the schools of our land, have done sod all about for much too long. Teachers today are becoming 'desensitized' to it? You better believe it, or perhaps blind to it would be more apt. And yet 'they', or rather their chief spokespeople, have the gall to be on the Government's case - and that of new Education Minister Hekia Parata in particular - virtually without ceasing, about stuff that is marginal at best. And somewhat suspect moreover, seeing as - like 'em or hate 'em, (and Yours Truly is hardly in the former camp), they did decisively win the 2011 General Election. Something called 'democracy', folks. Check it out - it's still a word found in your average dictionary. Or are they no longer used in our classrooms?
