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
Indeed
......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.
He can't touch the students.
Bet it was a bit of foolish fun gone wrong , that years ago everyone including the student would have a giggle , its like that rail guard incident in Swansea think she was student when he said hang on love let a man open hat door for you , and a sexism accusation was levelled ,the world has gone mad
Too right, he’d be in jail now let alone lose his job he had for 22 years…..I used to teach 20 years ago, saw the change occurring then and I had some really affected kids to look after who the main class teacher couldn’t cope with. There is no discipline anymore, a troublesome kid can get away with murder. I’m not saying the teacher should be able to use the kind of discipline they used to, it’s just escalates beyond and the kid gets removed from the class. No wonder so many are lost.
are there more or less kids who end up removed from schools these days?
Probably more, I was responsible for one 10 yr old who was expelled from a few primary’s, none in Cardiff would touch him. Off to Greenhill he went. If you can’t discipline them, the teachers won’t want them disrupting the whole class will they? Maybe a current teacher on here can enlighten us.
Need to add context to this :
The lecturer is of 20 yrs experienced.
He attempted to call his name twice .
(Lightly ) lobbed cardboard.
Student had hoody dragged down over his head .
He was asleep.
He woke bleary eyed .
He didn't fire a missile Ffs .
Bloody good lecturer lost .
Hoody lad probably asleep now .
Ah the good old days
There was a teacher in Penygawsi Primary School who used to give one kid “flying lessons”. This consisted of picking him up and launching him, aeroplane style across the desks.
That was when my late sister was in his class (late 70s).
I had him 5 years later and he slapped his hand down in the top of my head for kneeling up on a stool! Next thing, I knew, my mum was down at the school, shouting at the headmistress!
Me too. I had it all. Cane, ruler, board rubber, and various daps. I remember a kid getting hit in the head with a board rubber and being hurt pretty badly. Nothing even happened. The teacher just carried on.
You don't throw things at people to get their attention. What was stopping the teacher walking over to the kid? If a kid wanted to ask the teacher a question would throwing something at him be an appropriate way to get his attention?
Did your teacher throwing things at you make you respect them? Genuine question.
Personally, I had more respect for teachers who respected me and treated me like an adult compared to the ones who were arseholes.
In a day where respect was expected and somewhat enforced rather than earned. I actually disagree that there is less respect nowadays.
Like many others the wooden chalkboard eraser was the weapon of choice at Llantwit comp.
Additionally the ruler across the knuckles or being lifted by your hair were alternatives in the classroom.
Then there was the cane which was administers by the deputy head who had a fearsome reputation.
We thought we were hard done by until a couple of Scottish lads arrived and told us all about the strap.
Now that sounded truly medieval.
I agree with this. I didn't feel respected and I didn't have any respect for many of my teachers. They didn't deserve it. They were petty, childish and bullies.
Not directly related but when I was in my final year at college we went on a geography field trip ......to Majorca !
There was a PhD student who was 3 years older than use and took us for some lectures who tagged along
I was chatting up one of the ladies on the course as we shared a mutual love of heavy rock
Anyway he starts giving me the stares and later in the evening comes over and headbutts me which didn't connect so I gave him a slap
It turns out he and this student had been boffing and I was clearly on his Manor 👋
Fecking teachers
To be fair to the student he was perhaps applying some extra curriculum learning curves ??
Ever chucked a beer mat for fun in a pub ?? I'm guessing this is where this act was ,world has gone mad , lose a job for that for someone who didn't even want to learn or look up , and someone wanted to teach him and has so been for 20 years all on taxes payer's money FFS .
So you condone teachers or lecturers being able to throw things at learners? If you are happy with just a bit of cardboard, where does it stop?
I brushed it offTo be fair to the student he was perhaps applying some extra curriculum learning curves ??
Just a cardboard, if he threw a large heavy object at the feckless student then its serious and wrong. Pathetic.
Our games teacher used to pull the short hair, just in front of your ear, bloody painful. Chalk board rubbers & wooden rulers here as well.
Games teachers were vile , ours introduced us to murder ball ,few bruised kids ,sadly the very teacher suffered a broken collar bone in one game , it was played with a large heavy leather ball in a gym , being smashed into the wooden climbing frames was so much fun, happy days.
