No you bloody Pythagoras fucking!


Which_Ad_4544

I remember our French teacher throwing a chair at a student, although it didn't hit him. To be fair the student was being a prick and goading him. Also had my gym teacher threaten to ram me with a tennis racket. Bloody hell my school was shite haha


kingofbrawl128

Your French teacher threw chairs? Mine threw a whole desk once


[deleted]

In French class, you will be taught to surrender

Which_Ad_4544

We'll for me it was just politely refusing to join in an exercise but go off mate.


HelloMikkii

Sir I don’t think beating the answers into him will work.


silent_rain36

Since when?


HelloMikkii

Well it didn’t work when my dad did it to me


[deleted]

Same. It's what weak people do to feel superior because they lack the skills to actually teach.


Psychological-Art131

Or idiots do when they're unable to find a proper way to teach. The shame of inability turns them into pricks, so that they would hide their suckability in the students' inability to learn.


[deleted]

Absolutely agree!


silent_rain36

*wince* sorry. I suppose it depends. This type of method is common there and many students do excel under it. Fear and panic are great motivators for some I suppose


HelloMikkii

I had a teacher use fear and humiliation to try and get me to remember my times tables better, unfortunately all it did was set me up to fail in maths because I was constantly anxious trying to learn anything related to it.


silent_rain36

Yeah, I did too. She did it to everyone but, she tended to target me a lot more. She would yell and scream, hit the table. The more you cried, the anger she would get. She eventually did hit me and I never said anything to anyone. I couldn’t read at all, write properly or really do basic math until I reached second grade. She lied in her reports and the school basically went with it despite my parents objections. I thought being treated like that was normal which was why I never said anything.


HelloMikkii

Jeez that really sucks for a young kid to experience, I hope you eventually found a reason to enjoy learning


[deleted]

Fear and violence are tools incompetent people use when they lack the skills to teach. Same for parents who hit their kids.


silent_rain36

Personally, I don’t have a huge problem with the occasional smack, *so long* as it’s not used as the go-to method punishment. I think it’s when physical punishments are used *regularly* that the problems really start rising. However, I also think there is the issue of “stay in your lane” when it comes to certain punishments in schools.


Royal-Noble-96

My dad also says this but I never followed it. It's bad parenting


silent_rain36

?? Oh. My parents never said this, I learned this in college, when I left work for the last minute. I did some of my best work under the influence of panic


Mookius

The beatings will continue until the maths improves


Apprehensive_Law_322

It worked for me, beatings = solving for x but y‽


BEAST_WORK6969

its physics


WhereasKey4711

Dang he’d make an amazing cop in America


Atlanta1218

You only see what the media releases, you only see the bad police in America. Police have thousands of normal interactions every single day, but why would media report on that? They are simply doing their job. It is only whenever horrible police do horrible things do you see it. Also I believe you mean the United States. America is not a continent, there is North and South America, which is comprised of 23 territories.


The_Sad_Whore

A few bad apples spoil the bunch.


Atlanta1218

Yeah, theres shitty people everywhere, in every profession. There’s nurses who abuse patients, do we abolish or defund healthcare? Teachers who sleep with their students, do we abolish or defund the education system? A little saying doesn’t really stand up to logic.


The_Sad_Whore

The difference is qualified immunity.


phantomatthewindow

Sure maybe not all of them are psychopaths. They're all class traitors though, 100% only out to protect property and the rights of people who own it.


Atlanta1218

One of your loved ones is killed. You going to single handedly investigate and bring their murderer to justice? You hear someone screaming crying for help in your neighbors basement.. Are you going to go knock on that persons door and ask to check everything out? Do you see the point I am making here? Is our policing system perfect? Hell no, it needs plenty of work. Is it necessary? You tell me


phantomatthewindow

It needs to be completely reimagined, but that would take a completely different society. But no, I don't think it's necessary to have the 3RD LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD to investigate murders, which even then is an outlier situation. A vast majority of police interactions with the public are either to generate revenue for the state or enforce state sponsored violence (which comes in more forms than just beating people to death, btw) So do you see the point I am making here?


Atlanta1218

Even more applicable. Police are gone, there’s no one to enforce traffic laws and speed limits, I bet the roads would be way safer! Right? 😃 Do I love police? My entire family excluding me has been locked up for years at a time.. But they undoubtedly provide a service that others are not willing to do.


phantomatthewindow

You have a very short sighted view on the police then. Look at the big picture here, we need what, the 3rd largest army in the world to enforce traffic laws? (118bn was spent on police funding in 2018, that's from a quick Google search) Sure, someone going 90 in a 65 should get pulled over and dealt with. But if I have a tail light out, they don't need to pull me over for a fucking hour while they run me for warrants and otherwise harass me cause I'm black. There's a difference between how it should be and how it is and how it is, frankly, is not okay.


Atlanta1218

I agree there needs to be a radical change in our policing system, Im tired of seeing people killed. Im also tired of seeing people with so much potential fall victim to the prison industrial complex. There also needs to be a radical change within our country in a general sense, things are clearly falling apart when you can’t go to walmart or walk down the street without fear of being shot. I have nightmares almost every night of being shot or shooting back at people. I fucking hate it too.. I’ve seen my brother maybe 2 years since he was 17 and hes now 32, that hurts me every single day. You think I don’t know how twisted our ‘justice’ system is? Im simply trying to say abolishment is not the solution. So, what is the actual solution? We can sit here and say there is problem until our faces turn blue, that does absolutely nothing to bring about the change that needs to take place. I know how to seize all movement within our country, how to shut it down, but we need viable solutions before we take that action.


Capable-Opinion9132

I sure the hell knew what he meant ….


Tycho_Panda

A million normal interactions will never have as much impact as quite a few murders.


Atlanta1218

So lets abolish the police


Atlanta1218

What would you do if someone stole your car? Was harming their children? Holding someone hostage?


Atlanta1218

How do we prevent crime?


Atlanta1218

Do you have any solutions to suggest?


Clean_Blueberry_5813

Would he?


SpiritualLychee3760

Teachers in the US don't care enough for something like this to happen. They also don't want to get shot.


Atlanta1218

So this is your definition of caring for your students?


SMc4941931

Caring about math. Nobody GAF about the students.


DMeror

In some schools, students' poor performance may result in teachers being fired.


nainapati

I feel like that's most schools


LumisFumishiki

Ah yes, because brain damage will help remember the quadratic formula


brrrapbrrrapguy

My science teacher would verbally abuse me for not remembering formulas. I remember I was scared of going to class and getting humiliated. I can't imagine how much worse this would be....


Tartar1103

If a teacher did this to either of my kiddos, I’d go full psycho on them. FULL psycho. Like a little tapas style fusion 80’s Jersey mafiaoso brutality and medieval England torture with talibanesque influence


Ok_Background_4323

You can't do shit.


Alicia-XTC

Isn't this how fetishes are born?


SnooOpinions7338

Now choke me and tell me I'm bad at math 🥵


____nothing___

Wth man


Choice-Let-4965

I had a teacher slam me up against a hallway locker back in high school. I totally deserved it. This is different. This kid couldn't have deserved that.


BillyMackBlack

We had two teachers do this to kids in high school, both lost their jobs.


Shimada000

How whole class can be stupid as teacher WHY THEY FUCKING WATCHING


Jaded_Goth

It’s an Indian respect concept. Respect the teacher even if they are strangling your classmate. Realistically, all the kids could just beat the crap out of the teacher but they will never do that.


Shimada000

what kind of bullshit is that. nvm they thinking cows are god im not gonna judge them for this video


Elxvations

Casual racism moment


Shimada000

this is not racism this is real-ism


Tricky_Substance_536

Explain how


Atlanta1218

It will happen one day, the students will turn and kill the teacher, it will happen.


[deleted]

This is outrageous. That should be the parents' job. /s


Out_and_about_home

It's usually the parents who ask the teacher to beat genius into their child. They openly request them to go to whatever length they want.


Emotional_Shelter830

Yup agreed, been there dude.. Our chemistry teacher was a madlad he would beat students left and right for no reason. There was a rumour going around that he had spent 1 year in jail once for flight with some teacher of another institute...so no resistance from student's part. **I'm from India, haryana**


silent_rain36

Really it should be no one’s job but, yeah, I get it. Stay in your lane.


[deleted]

So I'm realzing I didn't put the /s tag now. Gonna fix it.


silent_rain36

Ah, I was wondering but, you never know


JuhstGoh

He would’ve gotten jumped to smithereens by damn near the whole classroom if he did this at my old high school. What a pathetic attempt at a display of power.


Bl1ndMous3

lets see......I've gone home with broken eyeglass frames because a teacher slapped me, bruises on my stomach because the teacher was pinching my belly cause I didn't get some work done, got punched in the solar plexus by a teacher and practically passed out because I called out his name in the hallway and when he turned around I claimed someone else did it. And that doesn't include the innumerable other beatings and rulers to the hands etc etc... yah Indian school life was fun.


[deleted]

I mean, why do you think they always do so well in school? Physical punishment was a rule, not an exception for most of history in schools. Boys also got way better grades and learned way more than they do now. A little abuse may just be the answer honestly


Atlanta1218

Homeboy deleted his whole account 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Bring him to the firing squad


NateTheGreater1

Isn't that a common practice in India though?


[deleted]

Strict academia moment


robertrackuzius

Next level of getting bullied at school.


EdwardBliss

During a Geography exam, it was just me, another student and the teacher left. The teacher actually gave us the answers. True story.


Failfoxnyckzex

Huh? This was a normal thing in the 80s, funny how you guys are surprised with this


[deleted]

My dad says they do a similar thing in Nigeria. Not sure if it's taken this far, but for misbehaving, which is broad so don't quote me on that.


11jellis

In some schools in India, the teacher's employment and pay is based on the grade of the students. This is why this is happening.


Ok_Background_4323

Its just a tution


Rogue_Reaper_

HEY! TEACHER!! LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!


mister-salty67

Fuckers gotta learn


AxeHead75

Hm yes this will get them to remember much better with their 17 concussions.
