:''This article concerns teacher-related bullying at school. For bullying involving lecturers in higher education, see Bullying in academia.'' School teachers are commonly the subject of bullying but they are also sometimes the originators of bullying within a school environment. When an adult bullies a child, it is referred to as psychological, emotional or verbal abuse. According to the American Psychological Association, it is as harmful as sexual or physical abuse. "Children who are emotionally abused and neglected face similar and sometimes worse mental health problems as children who are physically or sexually abused, yet psychological abuse is rarely addressed in prevention programs or in treating victims, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association." While sexual and physical abuse by an adult to child, parent, teacher or coach, is criminal in the eyes of the law, bullying or emotional abuse by these adults in care-giver positions is not. Due to their influential role, it is possible that teachers are instrumental in ''teaching'' bullying. At present there is little to no research to confirm this. ==Incidence== While teacher bullying is recognized as serious and harmful, there are no statistics. However, according to one article, a high-percentage of teachers admit to bullying students. Comprehensive research carried out in the UK found that teaching was one of the occupations at highest risk from bullying:〔Hoel, H. & Cooper, C.L. (Destructive Conflict and Bullying at Work, Sponsored by the British Occupational Health Research Foundation, Manchester School of Management, UMIST (2000) )〕 * 15.5% of teachers stating they were currently being bullied * 35.4% saying they had been bullied over the last five years. In another survey, the Economic and Social Research Institute found bullying to be more prevalent in schools (13.8pc) than other workplaces (7.9pc).〔(BULLYING in the staffroom is having a deeply traumatic effect on some teachers and their families, new research reveals. ) Irish Independent April 14, 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bullying in teaching」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
