    Yeah fair ****s to the teacher, the kids sound like little pricks.

    Fair play to him.

    I'll bet that cheeky little 14year old bastard won't get mouthy with him again :)

    To be fair if you're signing up to be a teacher aren't you expecting some of this treatment anyways?

    The article says he finally flipped, everyone has their limit and he reached his.

    Which is the problem I guess. Kid's should be thrown out of school for being constantly disruptive, but from my recollection of my school days it's incredibly hard to actually expel someone.

    Don't want to learn? Grand, there's a sweat shop down the road that's hiring. Good luck!

    Legend.

    That'll teach the little pr*ck a lesson he won't forget.

    Your hero is a man who wasn't fit to be teaching teenagers, flipped out, took a boy to a small room and tried to kill him with a weight?

    I'm sticking with Springsteen me.

    Bring back the nuns. So much as a peep and they'd kick the fúck out of ya. All to often I got the ruler on the back of the knuckles.

    / Wonders if the teacher were female would she achieve hero status or would there be cries of sexist courts system, irrational bitch should be locked up, etc.

    while i agree the bashing his head in with a weight might be a little excessive its probably every teachers fantasy. and lets face it no one is gonna **** with him again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭Adamisconfused


    If I had kids, I wouldn't like him teaching them, but it must have been so satisfying beating the crap out of the brat. :D
    He should have done what one of our teachers used to do, by getting a scumbag from the school down the road to rough up the little git.

    Double standards! She would achieve hero status for putting some little bullies in there place.

    Woah, what part of China are you from?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭twinQuins


    This guy sounds like he has serious mental issues. What kind of sane person beats a child with a dumbell shouting "die, die, die"?

    I'm actually from bURma

    Well, I've been on a wrong end of abusive teachers with a passion for beating students, but I've also seen the modern school system where there is little/no discipline.

    It's clear that neither approach is correct and something else needs to be tried.

    When the physics curriculum is so bad and boring for kids it's hard not to expect them to get bored & try to aggrivate the teacher. Luckily we had a teacher that would talk about all the intersting aspects of science and divert our attention from the poorly explained F=ma and incomprhensibly explained electricity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Beating a student over the head with a dumbbell is not acceptable. This man was obviously not fit to be around children, let alone teach them. The student didn't attack him physically, he cursed at him. The teacher had no right to physically assault him in return. So what if the student in question is a trouble maker. Had this teacher been of sound mind this never would have happened.

    And if the teacher himself felt he wasn't fit to be there then he shouldn't have been. In my opinion onus is on him.

    Aw man. :( Let's not make jokes about Burma. The situation over there is very serious, did you ever see this documentary about it?

    Eh, maybe you should read the article again?

    A good parent?

    I see nothing in it referring to sanity, or a lack thereof.

    I doubt most parents would beat their dog with a dumb-bell never mind their own child.

    Maybe he was speaking german like sideshowbob's tatoo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,957 ✭✭✭Euro_Kraut


    Surprised at the support for corporal punishment here. The kid may have been a little prick, but it does not excuse such violence.

    When a 14 year boy is beat to an inch of his life by a adults who care that child has been entrusted, it is nothing short of child abuse. Much of the child abuse that occurred in Ireland over the year was justified by priests and teachers claiming that it was the only way the problematic kids would learn.

    Judging by peoples reactions here, we clearly have not learned.

    LOL! It's so boring how the world works!

    It's cringey reading about the teacher saying it was as if he was watching himself on video etc, sounds like the typical outer body experience, it was as if it was someone else crap his lawyer was feeding him.
