A parent of a student at Atatürk Girls' Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Istanbul claimed that her daughter has been subjected to both peer bullying and administrative pressure for a long time. The parent argued that the school administration has been applying pressure on them instead of addressing their complaints.
"MY CHILD IS MARKED ABSENT WHILE IN CLASS"
According to the parent's claim, although the student was in class, she was marked absent for the entire day in the system. A student who was kept waiting in the garden during a ceremony later faced a half-day absence record despite being sent to class.
ALLEGATION OF THREATS
It was alleged in the complaint that a vice principal mentioned in the text exhibited harsh, oppressive, and threatening behaviors towards the students. The parent stated that these behaviors have gradually reflected on other members of the school administration.
TENSE MEETING WITH THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR
The parent claimed that when she wanted to meet with the guidance counselor, she received a response saying, "If you have complained about us, don’t call me, take your daughter out of school." She expressed that after this incident, the bullying her daughter experienced increased.
SHARING OF DISABILITY REPORT WITH STUDENTS
The parent alleged that a vice principal openly told other students about her daughter's report indicating that she has special educational needs. She stated that this situation stigmatized her daughter in the classroom and violated her privacy.
"MY CHILD HAS BEEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY DEVASTATED"
The parent noted that the processes experienced have led to her daughter falling behind in her education and suffering serious psychological harm, and she requested intervention from the authorities regarding this situation.
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION REMAINS SILENT
In line with principled journalism, the school administration, which we reached out to for their right to respond, stated that they would not make any statements, adopting a firm stance.
