Ok, so as the title says, I haven't actually worked on this yet, but if I get enough response over the idea, I'll give it a go tomorrow afternoon when I have some time. Anways, here's what I was thinking:
Safety in Educational Places wouldn't be about building codes for educational establishments, like some people might think... rather, it would be about a growing RL problem that could probably easily be applied to schools in WA member nations. Bullying. This legislation's introduction would obviously make assumptions concerning bullying and would formulate an arguement saying that in certain cases, bullying can be fatal and in less mild cases, bullying can derail a minor emotionally for the rest of their educational carrer, perhaps creating little or not chance for said minor to excell in the work force.
The body of the legislation would likely have some of the following mandates:
--An encouragement for schools in WA nations to have No Tolerance policies toward bullying or threatening another child.
--Mandate of all WA schools taking bullying and threats seriously and taking cautions that the administration feels necessary to help the bullied/threatend child recover and ensure that the bully/threatener doesn't do it again.
--Mandate that school administrations take all threats of suicide by children seriously, informing their parents and government officials if necessary.
--Encourage schools to implement new curriculums that aide children in dealing with bullying problems, from both perspectives (being bullied and being a bully). Perhaps make this a core class that children need to take throughout their educational career as a way to promote good social actions as well as tolerance and acceptance for minorities and "unique" people.
--Mandate that all educational providers (teachers, professors, admin, etc.) do not condone bullying and take the best actions toward setting a positive social example for their pupils.
So, thoughts, ideas, comments, concerns?
