webfact Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Teacher Accused of 'Sawing' Student's EarBy Khaosod English MAE HONG SON — A school in Mae Hong Son province is investigating a teacher who allegedly attempted to saw off the ear of one of her 4-year-old students.Parents of the boy said the Kindergarten teacher punished him in the classroom by using a metal ruler to cut his left ear. The incident reportedly took place on 17 July inside the school, which is located in Mae Sarian district.According to his parents, the child needed five stitches.School director Praewnapha Thamniamton said an investigation has been launched into the incident. The teacher's identity has not yet been made public.Ms. Praewnapha said the school administrators have twice received complaints from parents about the teacher's violent punishment of her students."We already put her on probation and the teacher promised us she would not do such thing again," said Ms. Praewnapha.As for the latest case of alleged violence, the teacher insisted on her innocence, yet all of the students in the classroom said she was guilty, Ms. Praewnapha said."We will find facts about this and give fairness to all sides," the school director said.Corporal punishment is common in Thai public schools, where students are subject to rigorous discipline and uniformity.

kalbo123 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Teachers hitting pupils is the order of the day in a lot of Thai schools. So no surprises here if it gets out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaltsc Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 "Corporal punishment is common in Thai public schools, where students are subject to rigorous discipline and uniformity." Seems to be working since the education system in Thailand ranks among the world's finest....Right . Perhaps if the qualifications to become a teacher were based on ability to teach instead of who one knows (or pays off), these incidents wouldn't occur. The kid was in kindergarten. What did he do, eat some white paste, forget a word to one of the morning songs, or maybe fell asleep because the curriculum was too boring to catch his attention? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cornishcarlos Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 4 years old !! These psychos always pick on the vulnerable. If it had been a teenager, I think the teacher might be in hospital by now. Thailand really needs to start vetting all people working in any capacity with children properly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ginjag Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 I was told on good authority she is Mike Tysons cousin. she said it was neither EAR nor there. If I was the mother of the kid I think I would be having words with the teacher in a dark passage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevozman1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 A lot of Thai schools still use the cane and chalk throwing, which still seems accepted in Thai society if not legal, but this is ridiculous. Teacher should be prosecuted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post noahvail Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 I thought they outlawed corporal punishment in schools a few years back. Whether they did or not, she had already been put on probation. If they find that she did this, which seems likely, she should be immediately fired and arrested for mistreatment of a minor. 'Twould be nice if there were to be a follow-up story on this, but that's probably too much to wish for. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
