Mum and dad apologize after teacher attacks student

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Our picture today shows a mother and father apologizing to a PE teacher after he attacked their son. 

 

The parents are shown handing over a basket of Bird's Nest Soup to the teacher as technical school officials look on smiling. 

 

A widely viewed and commented upon clip on social media showed the teacher yank the hair of the student after him and his mates cheated in a written exam. 

 

They had been told not to use their phone but when Sophon's back was turned they did and an argument developed after Sophon said that the test result was invalid. 

 

Sophon was initially suspended after the incident last week as a committee of inquiry was set up. 

 

Now the parents have said the matter is settled and both the teacher and their son have apologized. 

 

Saraburi Technical College director Janewit Tangcharoenworakhun said that school procedures were followed to the letter. 

 

Now the parents are going to the police to prosecute the person or people who shared the clip of the incident.

Amazing Thailand, Teacher assaults son,and the parents apologize to HIM,!

 regards Worgeordie

so the *procedures followed to the letter* means its ok to attack a pupil then ?? only in Thailand. and i just read its ok to beat up and kill one.

 

her face doesnt look like shes apologizing, at all! something very wrong here where a mother has to kow tow to her son's attacker.

School officials look on smiling? Where? nobody in that photo is smiling.

Does anyone else feel like their IQ has decreased being exposed to such stupidity on a daily basis since moving to Thailand?

The photographer didn't use fast enough film to capture a teacher smiling.

   Teachers using violence is unacceptable in a civilized society.     What a fiasco.

Thailand does not = civilised society

It may just be over-processed, but that photo looks like rather dodgy Photoshop job.

Disagree! Teachers not using violence is why we no longer have a civilised society. When I was at school it was the only thing that kept us in line. If not for fear, we'd have run riot.

Bull shit, these feral youths are a scourge on society across the world, they were told not to do something and they disregarded it, i would have received the same punishment and even worse when my parents found out, but i grew up not robbing old ladies, not shooting people and having respect for all, these feral youths w now qualities at all other than  cheat there way through life, well done Sir.

I will now show my age by saying that the normal punishment from my PE Teacher was a belt across the rear with his Plimsol. 

For those of you of a younger age or non British schoolboy plimsol would today be called trainers.

The removal of any fear of consequences for bad actions has given us the society we live in today, are we happy ?.

Typical Thai solution to a problem.......spare the rod and spoil the child!

I am amazed by all the posters prepared to defend and recommend physical violence against students without seeing the video footage of the incident.

It's a constant fight not to lower yourself to the level of many of the locals. If you are here long enough there are many who start seeing the Thai way as normal. It is not.

And I wonder where in the rulebook it says CHEATING is acceptable.  Up to now many of you are upset about a yank on the hair and not at all worried about cheating.  I hope that he hurt the little 'bas.....d..  He should have given him two yanks.  I  would be humiliated if they were my children and THAT is probably why he was offered a present.  And they would have got a belting when they got home.

Here here!

Yanking the hair of a child cheating in an exam is not 'Teachers using violence.'

Weather here may mean people do not understand the term 'snowflake.'

When I was a kid, a ruler on the hands helped a lot.  My husband was a teacher in Melbourne.  All punishable kids were sent to the HM, who used the rod.  

Just a little story.  He had a good looking Greek kid, Jimmy, in one of his classes at Northcote. Useless at his lesson, cheeky and even insolent,. classes were in an uproar with Jimmy around.  A REAL pest. One day my husband gave him a father and mother of a hiding (against the rules and he could have been fired).  A couple of days later Jimmy came up to Michael in the playground.  Listen Teach, I wanna make a bargain with ya, I'll try a little in class and you don't belt me again.  OK?  OK!  Hand shake.  Jimmy S. became one of the most brilliant students any teacher could wish to have and went on to an even more brilliant career

The birds nest soup was handed over by a couple of tits ????

Kids cheating on exams, teachers pulling hair, apologies all around and a gift basket as well. I have to laugh.

It's not that long ago that the Education Ministry appealed to parents to always make a police report, and follow up in all cases of assaults by teachers.

 

Clearly as successful as enforcing Taxi drivers using the meters and not refusing fares!

 

Teachers have no right to assault children. It's illegal in Thailand. But as usual, everyone mostly wants no fuss, sweep it all under the carpet.

So there we have it. Beating children up makes then brilliant students!

 

Neanderthal thinking from the spouse of a criminal.

but won't the soup just run out of the bottom of the basket .. 

I don't know? The student tried one on, got caught, was punished! Any older Thai father would have acted exactly like the P.E. teacher!

 

This is how an adult should operate with children. The failure of adults to act as judge and jury has produced this generation of "snowflakes " and SJW's! The students and other "Children" have got away with virtual murder because the previous generation failed to do their duty and failed to train their children to be adults!
