Engaging in policy writing can be a daunting task partiicularly if you are trying to engage stakeholders who are to implement policy or affected by policy decisions. I agree that no policy, government edicts are ever going to bring about attitudinal changes - it is front line people such as principals,teachers and other staff personnel that are going to bring about effective change if as John says there is a concerted effort to bring about an ethos or climate of compassion, kindness, respect and love of neighbor.John vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898527418224949692.post-48182497037442257432012-04-29T19:18:23.249-07:002012-04-29T19:18:23.249-07:00Hi Cale

Until we get down to the antecedents of those types of negative behaviors and work at that level, policies will always be reactive. <br /><br />Awesome post, John!birklearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368990673349142540noreply@blogger.com
