dominion know it’s called something like this: For two years, the Public is puzzled together with the house of representatives on the question of how many violent incidents at schools in Berlin. Body injuries? Insults? Suicide attempts? Bullying? Violence against teachers? Not a number, and penetrates out from the Senate administration for education, since it is almost three years has decided to evaluate the whole reporting procedure is first””.
The beauty of a “Evaluation”: You can stop all processes by always and constantly referred to, that we have to wait first the results of the investigation.
These delaying tactics went pretty well for a long time – until now, the suicide of a student has led to neither the Public nor the house of representatives last longer want: the Current facts are required.
The last thing you know, the data from the first half of the year 2016/17. At that time, there were 13 suicide attempts – as many as earlier in the year were counted. And then? Has continued this development? Unknown.
The same is true for the suicide announcements. Also, their number was with 42 cases is higher than usual. The bullying messages stagnated at 50 reported cases.
Also “light” violence incidents should be reported to
What would be the second legacy, with the help of it education Senator Sandra Scheeres to do already at the next education Committee will get: Neither the Numbers to the suicide announcements are still to the bullying cases, resilient. Rather, it is left up to the schools whether to report these crimes at all. Also responsible for Scheeres to.
Once this voluntariness was due to the desire to spare the schools Bureaucracy. However, since the summer of 2016, a decision of Parliament, the Issuer Scheeres, the voluntary and the schools to instead force complete messages may also be “lighter” violent incidents such as suicide, announcements, and bullying.
Scheeres, Parliament’ve been coveting ignored, and with it other aspects of the Anti-violence approach that had brought in their own group at the time, with the support of the coalition partner CDU through Parliament.
All of this will come on Thursday in the education Committee. The CDU and the FDP run is already gearing up for the attack. The Senator has tried, with the announcement of a new Anti-bullying officer, the headlong rush before the party, friends (internal) and political opponents (open) will be drooling over you. Maybe you can get away with it – to share if you are in a hurry, your rule knowledge and to take decisions of the Parliament in the future, more serious.
