December 27, 20169 yr Beaten-up boy’s mother demands teacher’s dismissal BANGKOK: -- The mother of a seven-year old school boy harshly beaten up by his teacher lodged a complaint with the Education Ministry, demanding that the teacher be dismissed. Accompanied by a lawyer and her elder sister, Mrs Boonsueb Khanthong said in her complaint addressed to the education permanent secretary that the assistant teacher of Sang-am Wittaya school, Ms Chalida Paichitprapaporn, does not fit to be a teacher because of her use of violence against her child who, she added, has become afraid of going to school after the incident. Her complaint was received by Mr Prasert Boonruang, the deputy education permanent secretary, who promised to look into the case without delay. He assured Mrs Boonsueb that the ministry would not protect the teacher in question.

December 27, 20169 yr incredible and VERY SICK that they have to beg for the teacher to be ONLY dismissed. in the USA this teacher would be in jail facing a long list of charges. and a 10 million USD lawsuit would be filed against the school district and the teacher. Thailand really has a long way to go. Edited December 27, 20169 yr by NCC1701A
December 27, 20169 yr If guilty, should be axiomatic along with assault charges. Cleans that attitude out. Disgusting.
December 27, 20169 yr "...the deputy education permanent secretary promised to look into the case without delay..." Frankly, there's not too much to look into if the following statement from an earlier ThaiVisa article is to be believed - "...Corporal punishment has been banned in Thai schools for many years..." (https://is.gd/caIWWg). So, no need to mediate, just incarcerate !!!
December 27, 20169 yr Good for her! Think of the (other) children, not your bank account... Great example.

December 27, 20169 yr So the boy is AFRAID to go to school! How is that for "education" and "respect", my dear i-got-beat-senseless- by- my-teacher-but-i-learned-so-much-from-it-brigade?!Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
December 27, 20169 yr What about just having the teacher arrested for assault. That would also remove her the classroom. At the very least she should have been suspended pending an investigation.
December 28, 20169 yr Just what do you have to do in this country to get fired? It all depends on who you are, or rather who you are connected to.
December 28, 20169 yr Well since her school and her name have been published why not her photos? Edited December 28, 20169 yr by Wilsonandson

December 28, 20169 yr Long time prison and tell other prisoners why jailed Fire the head master Talk about in all the news and newspapers This no have to happen again worldwide
December 28, 20169 yr Not only should she be fired, prosecuted and jailed but struck off the teachers register and never allowed to teach. I wouldn't be surprised if she is fired and hired by another school elsewhere.

Thailand really has a long way to go. Agree with most of that except the 10 million dollar lawsuit..... Why should everyone have to pay for one person's madness, which is also open to abuse. Thailand may have it's faults but so does the USA with it's sue culture.
December 28, 20169 yr I think the teacher will be put on leave....maybe transferred, but without doubt..her grade 9 parents will be on hand to protect her from dismissal. Compensation will very likely eventually rule.

December 28, 20169 yr I don’t know…maybe violence does have a place in schools. Maybe it is a way to address the problem of bullies in the classroom. Unfortunately the bullies in question happen to be masquerading as teachers. The primary reason these bullies get away with this crap is because their victims cannot fight back and they are immune from any negative consequences. But if every teacher in the country knew without doubt that assaulting a student would result in a very public and very physical confrontation with the victim’s family… They just might think of more appropriate ways to enforce classroom discipline.

There has to be a monetary example set, so that it doesn't happen again

December 28, 20169 yr "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree".. Maybe to unsecure to try anything else then her parent/parents teachers did to her mum and dad and to this young lady..Only me thinking loud.. Have a good day TV readers..Greetings from a nice and chilly Udon..
December 28, 20169 yr This clearly comes under the description of torture of a child, not beating.....willful act of torturing a child for pleasure....

December 28, 20169 yr Good to see the child mother insisting on action and not accepting the bribe to be quiet. Hopefully, I live in hope most of the time, others will follow the lead and report similar events in future so that these criminals in disguise are properly dealt with.

Agree. 99 times, surely even a person with temper control problems (and that doesn't excuse anything) would have realized well before 99 that she should stop. Different point, in another report it says she's a teacher's assistant not a teacher. Do Teacher's assistants normally punish kids? Surely the teacher alone is responsible to hand out punishments if needed (and I don't mean corporal punishment). Different point, I can't find any details of the school and location. Can someone please share.

December 28, 20169 yr If she is as well connected as stated in a previous article, then I don't see much happening... The whole thing will probably be swept under the carpet.
December 28, 20169 yr I would suggest sending to the international press that would really put the cat amongst the pigeons, and probably throw Mr PM into a state of frenzy
