Every teacher I speak to observes that those who are bullied (and also sometimes the bully) very often suffer from learning difficulties.
As if life wasn’t bad enough for someone who struggles with learning, to be bullied by others is just unthinkable! For those going through this at school I hope that Government Policy changes very soon so that effective ways of tackling learning issues can be provided by education authorities.

its about time schools got a grip of what is going on under their noses. dinnertime supervisors are the worst for this!! they have no understanding of kids with LD's and dont understand that these kids have little emotional control and ae quite often very frustrated. the kids have a rep for being 'bad' kids and never get a fair trial!! allowing the 'bullies'to get away with it!!! grrrr!!
Kids with LD's are an easy target for bullies as rattling their cages is easy and often gets a quick reaction.
It's easy to point the finger of blame but the problem is complex and there is no quick fix but I do think that dinner ladies/play ground supervisors would benefit from more training and support.
