Thai PE teacher who assaulted students transferred! Alumni praise "great teacher"

A PE teacher at a school in Ayuthaya was in tears after education officials told him he was being transferred to clerical duties while an investigation takes place into an assault on many students.

 

Som had been filmed using a stick to beat female students aged about 14. 

 

In addition when one tried to protect her bottom from the savage thrashing he shouted at her in Thai: "Why are you trying to protect yourself - you "b*tch".

 

After the meeting - in which reporters were not allowed - a whole host of alumni showed up to present flowers and give their support. This caused Som to burst into floods of tears.

 

He would only say: "I've told the parents and director all I know". He then left. 

 

Sorasak, 38, Som's ex-student said he was a great teacher who prepared his students wonderfully for Thai society. He also brought great credit to the school whether it was in the sphere of sport or the school orchestra, reported Sanook.

 

He taught all about responsibility and discipline. Sorasak said that he had been hit by the teacher harder than the girls had experienced.

 

This he referred to as "exorcising the ghost". He would be hit from the ankles all the way up to chase out laziness. This all resulted in him getting a job after school and keeping employment to this day, he claimed. 

 

Suchanaree of the Ayuthaya education authority said that Som would be doing clerical duties while a committee tries to get to the truth of what happened. 

 

The parent wanted her daughter to remain at the school and seeing as it was term two wanted no disruption as she needed continuity.

 

The girl's injuries and psychological state were examined. 

 

 

The mother of the 14 year old girl in the video, Wanlapha, 32, said the actions of the school and their initial explanations had been a positive first step. 

 

But the teacher concerned hadn't bothered to contact her. She was going to consult other family members before deciding her next course of action. 

 

She said her daughter was stressed out by what had happened and she feared psychological damage. 

 

Wanlapha said she was someone who respects authority but punishment should be appropriate and foul language should not be used. 

 

Thaivisa notes that corporal punishment in Thai schools is illegal. 

 

But many teachers who assault children are let off with warnings after offering apologies as a society used to decades of abuse of children comes to terms with modern day laws.

That last bit pretty much sums up the major ills of the country in one.

 

This barbarian should be struck off as there is nothing more objective as raw, unedited video of abuse. The camera doesn't lie, and by the testimony of others, this methodology is not new, and certainly inappropriate for the environment it is being used in.

Hit my 14 year old daughter like that with a stick, and it will be the last time you hit anyone. 

[ThreeEyedRaven]

Transferred? He should be sacked and charged with assault. Only when the law starts getting serious with these sadistic teachers will the continuous stream of such stories start to decline. If you can't discipline your students without resorting to violence, you shouldn't be a teacher.

Taking on weak western liberal thinking of no corporal punishment creates weak people and a weak society.

He should be applauded for his actions.

Yes, beating the Thai kids has made them an independent and strong people with a democratic and fair government.

No ...... wait ........

This says a lot about the character of this teacher and his aversion to young teen female students , he is obviously unfit to teach and should never be allowed in a classroom again and great teachers do not assault their students EVER .

It was the norm at my school. I wrote an article in a national magazine about corporal punishment in my school and was promptly expelled. Was only reinstated with the intervention of the local education authority....and an agreement that I would consent to being caned for my "crime"!

 

As a result of my treatment at school, I became a violent young man. But I'm alright noooooww......

Ah yeh, those were the days, and if you were getting 6 of the best on each hand and weren't quick enough to move your hand after the cane went down on your hand, he would also get you on the way back up.

 

I remember when this particular teacher stopped, i.e. when my dad paid the principal a visit with me, the principal calling the teacher in to first meet my dad, then to explain to both him and my dad why my legs had cane marks all over them, with his reply being that I wouldn't put my hand out to get the cane for being disobedient.

 

The principle then told the teacher to wait outside, which he did, and said to my dad, that no teacher will ever cane me again, with my dad saying, I know they won't, just call me, and I will, but I promise you this, if any teacher touches my son, he will have blood on him, his blood, not mine and as we left, my dad stopped and said to the teacher that in case he didn't hear what he said to the principal, he hopes the principal repeats to him, word for word what he said to him. 

 

No teacher ever put a hand on me after that, dad took over....lol

[kidneyw]

He taught all about responsibility and discipline.

We all saw that for sure!

Agree canning was norm at school in my time and remember not seeming to pay attention in a history class, I was bored for sure.

 

I was expelled too and would not agree and give consent to be canned.

I considered I was right punching the history teacher in the stomach after he smacked me hard on the side of the head with the back of his hand, he then went on to smack me again after I had said " don't do that again ".

Looking forward to a "Were you expelled from school?" poll, to go with the "Do you hate your father?" one.

 

On todays sample so far, about 25% members (including me) were.

That's called blasphemy.

Regarding this guy's penchant for beating the female youngsters in his care, the alumni Sorasak above certainly was correct about the teacher preparing his students wonderfully for Thai society....

Don't worry, he'll be back in the classroom somewhere soon enough.... after their "investigation" is completed, and concludes it was all a big misunderstanding and he won't do it again...at least....for a few days.

Would you kill him, dismember him or just break his arms?

[wotsdermatter]

My pencil rolled off of my desk during a French test and after picking it up was accused by the teacher of cheating.  Although I refuted that and those seated around me supported me, I was again told by the teacher that I had cheated and that I would "write lines" as a punishment.  Next day I did not conform and was sent to the headmaster who "talked with me, then later the teacher concerned about my "punishment".  Then he told me that I had to accept the punishment.  When I informed him that I would not accept any form of punishment for something I had not done, and that the other students gave voice in my support, the headmaster went to his cupboard and told me that I would receive corporal punishment as well.  When I refused to accept his punishment I was told to go home and think about it.  I did go straight home and next day found a job and started work.  Three months later, I was in the Royal navy, having signed my Attestation Papers before the incident.  The irony is that the headmaster wanted to talk with my mother, after I was in the RN about why I had not returned to school for my punishment.  She just laughed in his face and told him where I was and that he should have listened to the other students who had supported me before summarily dismissing me from his presences after he supported the teacher and not fully investigating the incident.  Later in life I went on to become a Registered Clinical Psychologist but am now retired except for doing some Pro Bono work.

nuf sed.
