"Foreign teacher" at center of new allegations at kindergarten

 

 

Channel 7 shared a video that purported to show a male foreign teacher acting aggressively towards a kindergarten boy at the school where a female teacher faces jail for assaulting and "imprisoning" young pupils. 

 

The video from CCTV came to light as the investigation against the female teacher gained traction. 

 

A male teacher in a white shirt reportedly shook a small child, threw his pencil away, made him cry due to being scared then forcefully grabbed him and threw him out of the room. 

 

Other adults including a woman were seen acting as though nothing unusual was happening. 

 

 

The case against the female Thai teacher could see her jailed for three years.

 

A lawyer acting for parents wants her charged with unlawful imprisonment as she allegedly kept students locked up in a toilet.

 

Action is also in the pipeline against adults in the class who did nothing to help or speak out against the abuse. 

 

Now the revelation that a foreign male teacher may also be involved in the abuse is likely to stir the pot further in what has become a story of national interest, notes Thaivisa.

What the <deleted> is wrong with that guy shaking a kindergartener?  

[colinneil]

How sad for the poor kids having to put up with not only 1 teacher but others involved as well, including a foreigner.

Clearly the school director is not in control of happenings at their school, and should also be investigated.

[lemonjelly]

I’ve a feeling his visa status is about to change.

[Orton Rd]

Hardly giving the kid a thrashing is he, bit of an over reaction be as bad as the UK soon where a strict look is abuse

[spidermike007]

Not news. What is news are the countless bad eggs here, who abuse their students, rape their students, and get away without so much as an arrest. This happens frequently. Predatory Thai teachers. How about some more news about those scum?

 

Overcoming the trauma of being locked in a bathroom for an hour is fairly easy to do. And the former? A lifetime of trauma. Those teachers should be locked up for life. 

[rkidlad]

Seems there's a culture of violence and abuse at this school. Adult teachers who have brains that haven't formed properly and think children can be reasoned with like adults.

 

Funny how if you assault an adult you can go to prison. But when you assault a child, many will condone it as some kind of learning experience.

Is there a video? Shaking any small child is a big no-no!

'Throwing' a kid out of the room needs to be taken into context for non-native English users, because we don't want a misunderstanding here, do we?

[twocatsmac]

Jail them all if they assault children. School should be a safe haven for kids whose home life isn’t always the best. 

[Matzzon]

Sadly, this will not open any eyes as usual. Just take care of the things they see at the moment. If they investigated more schools in Thailand, they would soon find out that this is nothing unusual. 

[KhunKenAP]

Need to fire the whole lot, including Head Master and whoever, is the oversight from the Ministry of Education for this facility.

[Bender Rodriguez]

wait, you don't mention the name of the school anymore

 

if you know the name, you can look up reviews from EX-teachers how the management threats foreign teachers as well

 

 

[BMW Overlander]

According to TV news, this foreign teacher is Filipino.

I don't think that many of the posters here have actually seen the video.

I didn't see any violence.
I saw a teacher that was obviously having some problem with a child. He lifted the child out of the seat and then shepherded him out of the door with a gentle(ish) nudge or 2.

At most of the schools I been to the teacher walk around with sticks , it doesn’t give a good impression 

[Lambou69]

Close the school and sack all the teachers, and charge the director 

This is a real rats nest of sadistic people

If he ever had one ...

That school doesn't give a t0ss about if a teacher is on the right visa or even has one.

When I was there 10 years ago, I was on a visa B but they refused to help with a work permit or supply information so I could do it.

Most of the teachers there were on tourist visas or monthly border flips.

Yes, my wife called me 5 minutes ago to tell me that.  And then when they checked his passport he was on overstay.

They'll be checking every teacher in that school at 8 am tomorrow.  

Expect a queue at the airport by Friday.

This corrupt, brainwashing and abusive schooling system needs a complete overhaul.  Teach kids to think, ask questions, have opinions and teach the how to learn for themselves

There seems to be a culture of abuse at that particular school. Time for CCTV cameras in the classrooms.

And the little darling had the Big Thai attitude- nobody's gonna tell ME what to do. Stopped walking like 5 times, each time having to be nudged along by the teacher. 5 y.o is old enough to understand the teacher.

What a load of nonsense you just posted, did you hear what the teacher said to the boy?

No you didnt, was the teacher asking the boy, or threatening him?

You dont know, so stop with your anti Thai BS.

While i don't condone any abuse to anyone yet alone kids, I think we should know what the kids offence was, as it looked to me as if it was a social distancing issue that the *teacher* was trying to reinforce.

When some foreign teachers rely either on border hops or new visas from Vientiane and Savanakhet to stay legal, there's probably a few of them on 'overstay' since at least March.

That's your interpretation of the event.

Physical action against a small child under these circumstances  is inappropriate and wrong. 

I shouldn't have to explain it to you.

Adults who grab 5-6 year olds and lift them out of a chair in this manner are violent thugs.

I don't think there are too many parents who would tolerate their kid being manhandled in this manner.

The teacher is obviously unfit for the job. Perhaps he previously worked for the Duterte regime.

The teacher pulled on his arm but the boy would not get up. He did not try to drag him to his feet by his arm. When the boy refused to get up, the teacher placed 1 hand under each armpit and lifted him to his feet. To me that seems a reasonable way to lift a child.

How else would you suggest to lift a stubborn child out of a chair?

Maybe you think that as the boy refused to stand up the teacher should just give up and walk away. That would send a message to the rest of the class that they can get away with anything that they want. A sure way to make sure that this will be a new generation of brats.
