More Description

This Three Part Memoir is based on true documented events that happened to an Australian secondary teacher from 2000-2018 whilst working in a Victorian state school as a teacher and English Co-ordinator. It is about mobbing bullying, harassment, intimidation, the physical and psychological torturing heaped on a qualified professional by a large Principal Class administrative team. Because of this emotionally exhausting and seriously confronting 'Mobbing' tale, the author has peppered it throughout with regular comic relief, a variety of writing formats and flashbacks. Flashbacks support the author's origins of strength inherited from parents who survived World War II and its aftermath of Communism, the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and the family's escape. The Memoir points fingers at The Department of Education, WorkSafe, the insurance company, occupational rehabilitation providers, the Education Union and medical personnel who handled the situation after a physical assault by a Year 9 student mid lesson. It highlights the question as to why her State won't adopt the Workplace Health and Safety Laws after Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the Hon Bill Shorten MP opened a House of Representatives Committee examining such.This log of events sheds light on how easily Victoria Hartmann (pseudonym) was crushed in a Democratic country without any consequences to perpetrators. It questions how some governmental bodies seemilgly openly tolerates thereby condones what should be classified as tyrannical and evil behaviour which resulted in the killing of a career and future prospects of one, the obliteration of financial income, the deterioration of psychological and physical good health and its attempted ruination of Victoria Hartmann's social positioning and respect in society. The demolishing of accumulated possessions and the leaving of a person with a blackened soul. A hermit in an empty shell. It is a book about courage, determination with a good dose of self-worth. The fight to maintain decent ideals such as the importance of delivering the best education to Victorian kids. It is a plea to plug holes in the great state educational and affiliated dyke which is leaking on many levels and make accountable the Mobbing Bullies in this true story.
