Evidence suggests that bullying occurs between students and teachers and antibullying programs need to be cognizance of all relationships in the school when designing programs. Thirty percent of students said they were bullied by teachers at both time points. Numbers reporting they bullied teachers were 28 percent and 16 percent, respectively. Teachers play a highly important role in the management of bullying, first and foremost by modeling appropriate behaviors as well as by dealing with bullying between students. If they are seen to victimize or be victimized by students, then this diminishes their credibility as people who can deal with bullying in the school. This study explores the important role that teachers play in dealing with bullying in a school setting by modeling appropriate behaviors and dealing with it effectively. Specifically, the study examined the levels of bullying reported by Irish secondary school pupils in the northeastern area in 2003 and in Dublin in 2005. Figure, tables and references
