myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1354)   ranked 37 out of 4,740 in student5 months ago

Today my friends son came crying from school...he is 5 years old and in First Standard ...he said that he was very tired in the last period and dozed off to sleep in the class..his teacher woke him up and told him that he is a donkey and hit him on his palm with a wooden ruler and he was asked to stand on the chair the full period ..all children made fun of him and he said he will never go to school again...poor kid i feel very sorry for him the teacher was very rude...so far he was in kindergarten so school was only for 3 hours and now suddenly he goes at morning 7:00am and comes at 2:30 pm so it is a drastic change for the child ..i think the teacher should be more understanding and i think his mother should go and speak to the principal about this..this will also effect the child psychologically..what do you think? what should his mom do? is it right to have such long school hours for such small kids?

The mother should definately say something. I know I would. Going all day for kindergarten is crazy in my opinion. they go all day here as well. I don't like it. But thats my opinion. This will affect the child even in the long run. kids, especially little kids don't forget that easily. The teacher definately should not have hit him or called him a name. They have corporal punishment here in these schools and I signed a paper saying that they cannot spank my child.

hi she had gone and met the principal and told him that this is no way to treat a kid so small and that too just because he got tired by the last period and slept off...the teacher could have woken him up and told him to go and wash his face but this was very rude..kids are very sensitive and she called him donkey the kid was deeply hurt...the principal has given a warning to the teacher and told her that such a behavior can lead to her suspension in future...so now she will send him to school on monday

Where I live the children that are in Kindergarten go all day. At my children's school they go from 8-3, I wasn't for that idea at all but soon realized that it was best for them to go that long because the half days seem to set the norm for them and then in the next grade they have trouble adjusting to all day. In the US teachers are not allow to touch students, they would get in huge trouble for that. Although I just read an article in the newspaper about some little school district that now allows teachers to carry guns to school, strange American way huh?? I think if I were this little boy's mom I would be going to the school to find out why this happened.

That teacher should suffer the same punishment. He or she obviously shouldn't be teaching children! Here, it's illegal for teachers to do things like that. We've taken it too far, prohibiting any sort of discipline, but at least the kids aren't beaten.

If I were that mother I would immediately confront the teacher with a baseball bat! Not really, but I'd feel like it. I would go to the principal and if that didn't work I would change my child's school or home school him. I would also take him along on my visits so he could see that I am behind him all the way and won't let people hurt him without dire consequences.

That teacher should be put at the mercy of the students she/he abused. angry

Children trust their parents and then their teachers and if teachers start behaving in such a way the child will be demoralized. It is here that the parent should take a strong standing and make the child feel secure. Say that we are there for you. The child's mother should meet the teacher and the HM without any delay. She should be very careful when talking to the teacher and the HM because her child spends most of his time there. Be soft but firm that her child has not taken the punishment well mentally and his academics could suffer because of this.

I am a person who likes kids very much. It is very sad to know that there are some school teachers who punishes the children even for their small mistakes. It is not good for anyone to punish a child, especially a teacher. This kid is used to sit in class only for 3 hours and suddenly when the school hours changes, it will be very difficult for him to manage. Actually the teacher should understand it. Instead he made fun of him. We should never punish small children for their mistakes, even if the children go wrong, we should ask them the reason and make him/her differentiate the right and wrong thing. Instead if we punish them, he/she will feel bad and this in turn will badly affect their character formation. So the mother should go and talk to the teacher. It is not good to have long school hours for small kids. It will make them tired and lack of interest in going to school. What do you think? Is it right to punish kids?

When i was in my elementary in the year 1995, i still remember how my school teacher punished me inside the school,it's because i am not listening to her or i am talking to my seatmate or i forget to bring what she said us to bring. She punished me sitting on the air, kneeled on the monggo seeds or salt. and then sometimes she hited me with her long stick. and i can say that it's not right, punishing children can affect them psychologically that can cause kids afriad to go to school and it can cause some of kids trauma.I suggest that school must do some measures about this kind of issue and not to punishing school children.

Oh my gosh, that teacher should be punished too. I remember my elementary math teacher who throws chalk and black board eraser to students who are not paying attention. Aww! Is that a proper way of disciplining a student? I am certain it's not! We look up to our teachers so they should be good role models to students.

Without a doubt she needs to say something to the head of the school. As for the length of the day, yes it is a big change on a little one. My son had the same sitatuoin, went for 3 hrs last school yr and t his yr goes from 8-3;10 however, after lunch for about 20 mins they have towels that they lie on the carpeted floor and can rest. The teacher told us the first day that for the first cpl weeks if they fall asleep she will let them sleep for a bit longer, prob an hour at the most, because its such a drastic change. Then after the few wks if they fall asleep she will wake them, because they dont want them mising out on the subjects covered in the afternoon. I feel for the little boy and cant blame him for not wanting to go back. She should talk to the school, maybe keep him home jsut for a few days til the school addresses it in the way it should be, and then maybe he can go into another class with a diff teacher.

I think there are better methods for helping a child conquer the full day of school than humiliating them. Naming calling and hitting are certainly uncalled for.

I think if the child will have a problem in class (feeling tired, falling asleep,etc) and since the child is only in his first year your friend should change the school his in and change to an afternoon school as they have noon school for year 1 and 2 kids. this way the child will be well rested, able to learn and not be scolded for dozing off in the class room.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1354)   ranked 37 out of 4,740 in student  5 months ago

hi dear we have normally morning schools and since the child had just gone from a kindergarten to a proper school and timings are longer so it is normal that initially the children might get tired i remember when i used to teach as fill up for someones leave vacancy we used to tell a story to the children in the last period and if they wanted they could sleep because children get exhausted and a short nap can help..his mom had gone and met the principal and told him that this is no way to treat a kid so small and that too just because he got tired by the last period and slept off...the teacher could have woken him up and told him to go and wash his face but this was very rude..kids are very sensitive and she called him donkey the kid was deeply hurt...the principal has given a warning to the teacher and told her that such a behavior can lead to her suspension in future..this should knock sense into the teacher and she will behave with children with more love and patience in future ....so now she will send her son to school on monday..thank you for sharing your views
