    Teacher investigated for slapping schoolgirls

    A 59-year-old math teacher faces disciplinary action after a video spread showing him smacking schoolgirls in front of the classroom.

    Director of the Thammasat Khlongluang Withayakhom School in northern metro Bangkok said the teacher, Thanabodi Polrak, had good intentions when he slapped the ninth-graders Tuesday morning for repeatedly failing to turn in their homework.

    “The teacher admitted he was caught up in momentary rage. He didn’t intend to use violence on the children,” school director Surachai Pinyocheep told reporters Thursday. “He used the wrong method of punishment, but his intention is for the kids to have [good] marks for their grades at the end of the semester.”

    The incident was captured on video and uploaded Wednesday to YouTube. The video showed the teacher lining up a group of female ninth-grade students in front of the classroom and smacking some of them in the head.

    The video uploader said Thanabodi slapped the girls because they wore winter clothes to school and “looked like hill tribe children,” but director Surachai denied that was the case.

    The Ministry of Education has banned corporal punishment such as caning since 2005, but the practice is still common in many Thai schools.

    Comments in the slapping video are divided between those who believe Thanabodi’s actions were excessive and those who applaud his methods as justified in Thai culture.

    “I have seen this kind of thing, but it was way more violent,” wrote YouTube user Ratchaphon KM9. “I was in 3rd grade. It was over 10 years ago. [The teacher] slapped me, beat me, threw books at me, and scolded at me. But I love this teacher. If that teacher didn’t teach me with such a dark style, today I’d still be illiterate. I don’t know why I love this teacher so much.”

    Others disagreed.

    “If they didn’t turn in their homework, just give them an F,” wrote Penneuhng Chan-o. “He didn’t have to be this violent. The kids could [literally] lose their heads. This is insane. Don’t say you slapped them because you love them, because if you are this violent, it’s better not to love them, lest their heads and brains get splattered.”

    School director Surachai said Thanabodi has been verbally reprimanded for his actions. Any further punishment will be decided by the inquiry committee, he said.

    The students’ families, he added, said they will not press charges.

    I don't understand this at all.

    I mean, fine young thighs twitching under the caress of an artfully wielded cane.........


    HMMM, yes please.

    A clout on the head?

    That's not erotic in any way shape or form.

    The man is obviously not a professional and should be dismissed immediately.

    Just another example of a small dick thai abusing his "authority" over those unlucky enough to be near him.

    ^ Agree with Cujo, If we had a daughter (I mean me and my missus - not me and Cujo lol) I'd react the same.

    The human body is comprised of around 75% water - water will always find the easiest route through or around an obstacle... The Thais are like water... they will always avoid obstacles (as much as possible).. find the easy way...It's their nature/culture to take the path of least resistance...

    For example, this is clearly evident in their driving - taking what we would call 'lazy shortcuts' and also carries over into their everyday life.

    Of course, the 10% rule of exception always applies... when they will go mental and create more problems for themselves on occasion... just speaking in general...

    The naughty pupil should have been doing their schoolwork, not messing about on their phone uploading videos.



    Very racist article from the BKP

    A high-school student on Wednesday posted a video of her teacher striking her classmates in the head because he did not want them to look like hilltribe children.

    She was not wearing neck bracelets in the video.

    Jeez if a teacher did that to my daughter....

    What's amusing about a incompetent "teacher" using violence to get their point across.

    He's abusing his position of power and responsibility and needs some off his own education administered to himself.

    I work with a Samoan lass. (Good looking girl BTW) She came home from school one day (In Samoa) with a bruised face after a teacher gave her a wack.

    Daddy, who was a bit of a hard nut, went down the school with a loaded rifle. Pointed it at the teacher and told him that next time he would get a warning shot through the head.

    Lets just say that no police were called and the teacher in question "moved on"

    Generally, schoolgirls prefer being slapped w/ a wet noodle. That guy seems sorta out of the loop.
