Re: Lecturer sacked for throwing cardboard at sleeping pupil

Wooden blackboard rubbers were a common weapon of choice for teachers when I was a lad.

Brother Adrian at St Illtyds loved chucking those things

I'd say the world WAS insane.

I understand some things are silly these days, but anteacher throwing something at a pupil isn't a good example.

Interesting. You say the world was insane my view is the opposite. In our day there seemed a lot more respect than there is nowadays.

I am saying throwing things at pupils isn't normal. The rest you concluded yourself.

Whilst most of us of a certain age would think this is incredibly harsh there is obviously two sides to the story. It says he is a foster child. Maybe he’s a vulnerable child, or has a history of violence in the home. We don’t know.

That said he shouldn’t be kipping in class.

I’m sure we have all seen worse than this in school back in the day? This world is now insane

Throwing something at a pupil is a violent act, illustrating a lack of restraint and poor decision-making unbecoming of a teacher. Yes, most of us had worse, but that doesn't make it OK. Looking back, I can't believe the crass behavior of some of my teachers and the shitty example they set.

Its crazy, just because older people had it as the norm it makes the world crazy these days because you can't do it..

Re: Lecturer sacked for throwing cardboard at sleeping pupil

getting a kid to pay attention for the next 20 minutes is not worth the downside which is potentially teaching them to use physical violence and intimidation to get what they want.

I had the wooden board duster thrown at me , hitting me on the shoulder , steel rule slammed down on the table in front of me , wooden metre rule over knuckles ......that could have broken my fingers ......and the cane across the back of the legs

It did nothing except make me more disruptive

......is the correct answer! Why didn't the Lecturer just wake the kid up gently, escort him off the premises and tell him not to return until he gets a good night's kip? Then soon after contact the parents and tell them he's not welcome until they help him to sort himself out. The world has turned many revolutions since we were at school.
