Holy shit. My students constantly complain about getting beatings from their public school teachers-but I never knew it was so pervasive that it would appear enmass on youtube.

wow.

I had a group of MS girls friday that said that they have a male teacher who uses a BAT across their laps!

I've had private lessons with rich ex-high school students who I prepared for US high schools after they had been assaulted at their Korean HS and dropped out.

Crazy stuff.

Do any of you public school teachers see this kind of shit? What do you do about it?

during my elementary school yrs in korea, i got beat up by every teachers from grade 3 to grade 6. There was this one crazy biatch who beat me down to the ground with her fist because I didn't do homework. My grade 6 teacher used to line kids up facing the blackboard and full swing a long stick to their asses... like 10 times per kid. But this was in the 80s, and i'm told that these kind of beatings rarely happen these days. Many Koreans (not students) always complain how the kids these days are so arrogant and selfish and do not show any respect to the teachers. Back in the days these beatings were the norm, and I don't think the kids hated it too much. As I remember, all the kids in my grade 6 class loved the scary teacher.

Along with beatings the male Korean teachers do, there is a lot of groping and touching that goes on by the Korean teachers.

Another. This was a few years ago, and the teacher was not fired. He hit the girl with closed fists. He was assigned to other duties temporarily:

Here's a waygook teacher in Seoul. It's a spoof produced with the students, but it's funny:

And just to calm down any angry feelings you might be harboring, please view this file. The thing that gets me about this is that her facial expressions remind me sooo much of my wife: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTkfdgVEASw

The top youtube comment says he was fired. Last I heard, he was not. This came from a foreign teacher associated with a school in that area. The media reported that he had been removed from his teaching post pending investigation, but in all likelihood, he has returned to the classroom.

Does anyone have an update?

Students are weak these days!
Why I remember back at Saint Swinians, a damm good rogering was part of the entrance exam.
We used to get a right solid beating on our naked buttocks by Father Flannery every Tuesday and Thursday.
I fondly remember the dormitory inititiation ceremony, jolly fun. Nothing like a bit of tar and feathering to build one's character.
Students are weak these days, weak!
Bring back the Saint Swinians entrance exam, I say!

I often see teachers throwing and hitting kids.

My co-teacher asked me how I felt about it.

Told her if they hit a students as a punishment ( a crack across the palms or the arse) then fine. if they hit the student out of anger or loss of control then it's not fine and shows that the teacher is weak. (slapping on punching)
