'The Boys and Girls Not Calling Me Names and the Teachers To Believe Me.' Name Calling and the Experiences of Travellers in School.

Examined name calling and bullying of Gypsy and Show Travellers in Scotland and the schools' response. Found that teachers viewed Gypsy Traveller students as having and presenting more difficulties in school than Show Travellers. Both groups of students experienced frequent bullying and name calling, often not acknowledged by their school. Findings raise issues about schools' ability to support diversity. (Author/KB)
