    Teacher slapped first-grade student into the hospital

    A student in grade 1 was slapped by the teacher and required medical attention. The mother revealed to the media that she feels what happened is not right. This is not the first time the teacher has harmed her child. The District Chief and the Principle visited the family with plans to set up a review board. A post went viral online with a picture of the girl sleeping in a hospital bed with a caption stating her daughter had been slapped by the teacher. Jakkrit Ruamkun, Jakkrapong Burasit the Nang Rong District Chief in Buriram Province, the principal from a school in Nang Rong District, and other related officials went to the home hoping to find out the truth on 12 February 2020.

    Waew 30-year-old the Facebook account owner and mother of the 7-year-old girl revealed her daughter lives with the grandmother. Waew went to work in Pattaya on the 9th and later received a phone call from her mother informing her that the girl had been slapped so hard she cannot open her right eye. The girl has a swollen face and a serious headache. She was admitted into the Nang Rong Hospital for a night and then returned back home to further recover. Waew was shocked by what had happened and came home to Buriram Province right away. She arrived home and found the daughter still frightened by what had happened. The girl is terrified to return back to school.


    This is not the first time the teacher had harmed her daughter. On the 5th of this month, she went to the hospital once before for the same reason. Waew states her daughter is a slow learner and this may have made the teacher angry. The teacher promised her it would never happen again so Waew did not file a report with the police. Waew was also a student in the same school when she was younger. The family feels sorry about what the little girl has gone through, especially when they didn’t take any action the first time. The school principal states there will be an investigation into what truly happened. He also promises no student will face a similar incident in the future.

    That is seriously bad.

    There were several students with developmental challenges at the school where I taught. I found the teachers to be exceptionally caring and respectful to these folks. This teacher needs a long vacation and counselling. I sense this is a very exceptional case.

    Most of all, good luck to mother and child.

    No. She needs to be sacked and prosecuted. She needs to be made an example of.

    I often wondered about the professional vigour of the teacher training in Thailand. Technically they are no doubt very well prepared.

    I witnessed some very unprofessional behaviour when I was over there. Career destroying stuff.

    ...no need to wonder: it's awful...it is usually the university faculty that accepts the least qualified admissions. Graduates look for sinecures and opportunities to extract as much cash as possible from parents to supplement their miserable salaries.

    Thai do not value education for the masses who are merely fodder for the medieval hierarchical society that has been constructed out of privilege, cronyism and corruption benefiting the few at the expense of the many, a despotic governance perpetuated by a religion that rewards stoicism with the vacuous belief a future life might lead to betterment.

    Well, if it were among blue collar oiks and the ditch digging oafish underclass, err, nope, I couldn't imagine it. What on earth would be the point? It would be akin to discussing particle physics with a gerbil and expecting comprehension.

    Indeed.

    Back to the little girl,


    We would have to know far more about the circumstance before passing judgement to harsh.

    I once had a class with five challenged folks all boys and all between 13 and 14 yrs. of age. The rest of the class consisted of what I would have judged to be at the bottom of the pack in terms of intellectual ability. (that could have been put in several other ways) The group of Group of
    Five could get this group behind them if I made one wrong move, which I had done on several previous engagements. Toughest class by far I ever did "teach".

    back to the little sampoon,

    I witnessed many more mainstreamed classes where the little sampoons were present and I rarely saw teaching assistants. Few can imagine how these classes can be. Maybe little sampoon with a couple of others of similar temperament and intellectual prowess. Miss Burned Out Teacher
    who found out that very morning that her husband has taken up with a former student.( Is feeling unwanted and unloved.) Miss burned out teacher meet Miss Sampoon who herself has had a distressing morning.

    Some form of disciplinary action is in order. More training and perhaps counselling is in order.

    Let us tread lightly in our judgements.

    A teacher slapped a 7 year old kid hard enough to land her in hospital, twice.

    There is no justifcation.

    If I were the parent, I would exchange the possibility of suing the teacher (or other administrative sanctions) with the possibility of slapping her twice with my full force...I bet it would be a better deterrent.

    ^ It would be difficult not to slap the teacher myself had this happened to a child of mine. That or send a thug around to rough the teacher up when no one is looking.

    A meeting between the teacher and parent (plus advocate) and an experienced and professional councillor to direct the conversation might prove more productive than the above suggestions.

    I agree , the teacher needs not only canceling but also training. You of course don't ever hit a child. IMO but if you do you certainly don't hit them on the head. Aside from the emotional damage on a child you can also do physicals damage , some of it permanent.
    If that happened to my child I would certainly have something to say at the least .
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I've had to physically restrain many a student. If I ever found myself hitting a student my resignation would on the directors desk without too much reflection.

    Bullshit.

    A meeting with the police is what needs to happen. The teacher is a serial child abuser. You don't negotiate with child abusers.
