Impact of Teacher Leadership on Bullying in Australian Schools

This discussion post presents two student perspectives on distinct issues within the Australian context. The first student investigates the extent to which teacher leadership styles influence bullying in Australian secondary schools, highlighting how laissez-faire leadership can inadvertently foster an environment conducive to bullying. The second student addresses women's economic empowerment in 21st-century Australia, noting historical gender disparities in wages and workplace opportunities, while also acknowledging the progress made towards gender equality. Both students pose questions related to their respective problem statements and provide references to support their claims.

• Title: To what extent does teachers’ leadership styles
affect bullying in Schools: Case of Australian
Secondary Schools
• Problem Statement: In secondary schools, the student’s are in a stat of
confluence between adolescence and youth and in this stage comparativeness
and supremacy among each other are impregnated in their minds. IN the
secondary schools of Australia, on many occasions the teachers seem to adapt
to the Laissez-Faire leadership style. The have friendly attitude towards the
students, however suggesting an outlook of casualness and non involvement.
This is why bullying is prioritised in the student community that learns to
praise the superior students and dominate the weak and as an outcome a
wholesome atmosphere of bullying prevails in schools (Skrzypiec et al. 2018).
Being bullied have serious implications towards their future.

A Better Understanding of Mobilization of women
Economic Empowerment in The 21st Century in
Australia
Problem Statement: Women Empowerment in Australia is a
reality today. The disparity among sexes have mostly been
practised in Australia on social grounds. There have been
biasness in Australia between men and women regarding
payment in various working sectors, allowances and so on. The
purchasing power in Australia was chiefly reserved in the hands
on males up to 1960s. The wages that were offered to women in
various sectors like retail, hospitality and others were
comparatively lesser than men (Hemphill et al. 2015). They were
supposed to be physically inferior and lacking of the capacity to
make workplace decisions. However, active participation of
women have increased in various working sectors now-a-days
and we can truly comment that we exist in a world of gender
equality.
• Comments by the second student:

Q1. What leadership styles mostly initiate and prioritise Bullying in
schools?
Researches have confirmed that the laissez-faire and
Authoritative styles have mostly influenced the bullying activities. The
Laissez-Faire style allows students to go as they like and display
bullying towards as the teachers hardly intervene in their domain.
Otherwise the authoritative style also influences bullying. The students
who are being punished and disgraced by teachers attempt the same
upon weaker students.
Q2. How has the mobilisation taken place?
The women have been emancipated in their workplaces. They
share the same position with en and even occupy authoritative position
over men. Other than that financial activities like banking is also
performed by women.
