Hi Eng789,
Wow! I didn �t think that existed in today �s day and age. Which country is this teacher in/from? Aren �t there any laws that prevent this from happening? Here in Australia, teachers need to be careful as to what they even say to their students, let alone hit them! I would have thought protecting your students was a universal thing, but obviously not, in some countries. We teachers are in the most trusted profession, parents send their children/teenages to school, trusting that we will look after them, care for them, be �role-models � and teach them the most important thing, "knowledge".  What that guy did was wrong! I can �t believe he �s still in the profession!
Take care, and you as well as all the other lovely teachers have a nice weekend.

that was the funniest thing I �ve ever seen.........absolutely wrong....but hilarious....
 
some students just don �t know when to stop.
 
BUt in no way, should any one hit, whether teacher or not - we should never resort to violence, I would have simply kicked him out.

The way the student keeps looking at the camera... could it be a fake video? If not, something is wrong here: the teacher could have verbally ask the student to stop and the girl could have changed seat.
Bizarre...Stern Smile

CHARMED ONE
Mexico

Just hilarious!! LOL LOL Hits the target nice!

This video looks like it is from somewhere here in Mexico. It �s a financial class.
And I �m almost sure it �s not fake because, it is very common that students film funny stuff during the class (normally without teacher noticing or at least that �s what they think). The last seconds of the video the teachers tells the student that he had warrned him on the previous class.... (I believe about misbehavior).
Also, I �m sure the teacher wouldn �t have done what he did if he had known he was being filmed. And it �s for sure he got into trouble.
 
This is a real thing of a NOT TO DO as a teacher!!
 
Have a nice weekend!!

Reminds me of the other use for chalk...... well, that �s what used to happen.
 
The only thing I throw in class is a sweet to reward a student who is working well. (I can only do that because they are adults...not a good idea for children.)
 
It does prove that as teachers we do have eyes in the back of our heads.
 
Cheers Joy

Sign him up for the Yankees! That �s hilarious and hard to do.  Why should the girl have to inconvenience herself because the guy is being a jerk?  It reminds me of the saying, "Drastic situations take drastic actions."  This is nothing new. MANY students in Korea get physically abused by their teachers. One of my former students told me her teacher pulled her hair because she came to school late.  I have seen teachers throw chalk too.  One teacher in Korea threw a pen at a guy and it almost hit his eye.  I have seen teachers here in Hong Kong hit and kick students.  "Different cultures" is all I can say.
