webfact Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Rayong mother alleges teacher beat son with metal ruler By The Nation FILE photo A Rayong mother on Tuesday filed a complaint with police, alleging that a teacher had beaten her son with a metal ruler because he could not catch up with friends in reading in class. The 24-year-old mother, Thassanee (surname withheld), showed police her son’s bruised right shoulder during a class after the lunch break. She alleged that her son’s class master at a school in Rayong’s Muang district used a metal ruler to hit the boy on his face, arms, body and shoulder. The shoulder was the most injured as the ruler hit a bone, she said. The mother said the boy’s grandmother first noticed the bruise after taking off the six-year-old’s shirt when he arrived home. Questioning the boy, she learned that the headmaster had hit him for failing to catch up with friends during a Thai reading class. The mother claimed that the teacher admitted punishing the boy.

We had a teacher who used a plimsoll on boys backsides. I remember one lad who knew he was due for a 'thrashing', put a couple of exercise books inside the seat of his trousers beforehand.

scorecard Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We had a PE teacher in primary who used a cricket bat. With lots of complaints but no action by the school head. In high school the PE teacher used a baseball bat. With lots of complaints but no action by the school head until an incident where the teach / baseball bat broke a girls arm in two places. PE teacher dismissed, never to teach again, and 1 month jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tagalong Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 When I went to a catholic sch in oz in the 50's they used a stitched- up leather strap n not a ruler.... One day it was used unnecessarily n the whole class at lunch time cut it up with a razor blade... Class started n the teacher was furious to say the least...threats n more threats, he never found out who was responsible.... The whole class of 20 stayed mum over it.. The strap never came back after this incident....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
