Bluespunk Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 1 hour ago, lust said: I believe hitting should be legal but every teacher must be given the same tool, such as like a fly swater or something for up to year 6. Something that will make the punishment regulated, but enough for the child to understand "no". If the students aren't up to par by grade 7, the government should mandate that the parents must assume responsibility and are subject to public lashings. Perhaps then we would get some proper parenting. =) Thanks to dipshits like My Mate Nate, there is a huge lack of respect from kids these days. Some kids just need a little physical enforcement. =D As a teacher I can say that I have never needed to assault a child. Violence is not the way to gain children's respect. Good teaching is.

It's all off limits - against MoE rules and actually illegal. But these School Directors seem to do as they please in their little fiefdoms. And the inept uninterested police can't be bothered to enforce the law and arrest offenders. So here we have a senior educationalist saying it's perfectly alright to break the law, ignore the rules set by the government, assault children as you wish and be proud of it. And people wonder what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just 2, 3 or 5 light taps as the headmaster would have everyone believe. What a sadistic prik. The pupil is off camera but according to the title in red on the video, it was a female student who received the beating. This seems to contradict the OP's story it was a boy, however, if true it's even worse. On one of the screen captures it does look like a girl.

dave_boo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This back and forth has me wondering what the "spare the rod and spoil the child" group has had in regards to a successful life compared to the opposite group. I.E. is there empirical data that one group is scraping by here in the Kingdom because it's cheap and they're working their tails off in a low paying job because of how they were brought up? Can we point at the fact that receiving corporal punishment makes for a stronger constitution and not receiving it results in a more lassiez faire attitude towards life? Or is the opposite true? Does receiving that punishment retard the growth that everyone needs and thus disadvantages those people compared to the non punished folks?

MY Thai isn't good enough to decipher what the teacher is saying as he has clearly lost his cool and is almost screaming. It seemed like he was reading from a list, but a list of what? List of pupils who had to, presumably, come up front and receive their beating? List of offences that one unfortunate girl had committed and had to receive the allotted number of strokes for each offence? If the latter, that was not discipline, it was a vicious, premeditated and totally un-called for assault on a young girl. If I was her father, I would absolutely be after his head.

djayz Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 There's hardly a week that goes by without one of these stories being revealed. Scary in itself, but what scares me even more is how many similar incidents go unnoticed or unreported? The general public only knows about this case because it was recorded and uploaded. Personally I'm 50/50 about a child getting a slap on the hands or behind as a disciplinary measure - if all else fails. However, beatings and other forms of abuse are simply uncalled for and absolutely unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Spare the rod and spoil the child ? I do believe there is a case for corporal punishment for certain behaviour, as does Singapore. Children of parents who decry any form of reprimand for their actions almost invariably end up as complete a*s*h*l*s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac98 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The nuns tortured us in elementary school - making us kneel on uncooked rice; having us make 100 snowballs without gloves; them hitting us with heavy rulers; them stomping on our squirt guns; them confiscating our pea shooters and firecrackers. Did it make me a better person? Yes. It turned me into an atheist. Then I had four years in an all-boys high school being knocked about by the Brothers of Holy Cross. I ended up in Pattaya. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
