Is Slapping or beating is the solution to teach the lesson to the students?

While teachers are considered as second parents especially when the child at school, how to discipline a child is still the primary responsibility of the parents. More so, teachers shouldn't resort to humiliation or violence while inside the classroom. This is will only bring trauma to the child because s/he was embarassed in front of a lot of people. Teachers who don't know how to treat ther students nicely should be stripped off their teaching license and should not be given a chance to teach.

In my opinion, me as a student wouldn't think it's the right way. In Australia we basically just let them student go on with their work first and do what they (for the right thing) Rather you bit them with violence and do some work will ends up in the court (if you do some violence)

I am a qualified primary school teacher. In my home countries teachers are not allowed to be violent towards a child or a student. If he or she did slap or hit a child or student then he or she would be given a criminal record. I know children and students need praise to help their self esteem. I believe in catching them being good and then praising. I would take time away from a naughty child or he or she missed some of golden time or keep the child in at playtime for a telling off. Some children don't complete homework and their parents might not be supporting them. At parents evening the teacher can discuss the homework issue and that say things must improve. It is so terrible the boy was slapped by the teacher and he killed himself with powder that had killed a rat.

Hi dear, My five year old is appeared in KG final exam now and he will go to the first standard in next session. The last year, means when he was in KG class, 2-3 times he told me, from tomorrow I won’t go to school. I quickly guessed teacher would have done or said something. I asked, what is the problem, his reply, teacher slapped on my head, my question what naughty thing you have done, his genuine reply I have done nothing, all other children made much noise and teacher punished me. I realized he would have done something in the class, as teacher already informed us he and other boy keep on doing some naughty things, like talking each other… But he never accept he done any mistake, but I can guess so I will go to him with more questions, have you done this have you done that, lastly with a smile he agree what he done. It is a time consuming process to know the truth exactly. I know he is the topper in class and would do that smartness on other areas too. I do tell him how to behave in class how to get in the good book of teacher etc… so once he told me, I won’t go to school tomorrow.. he forgets that and will go to school next day without any problem. I mean I will do my best it won’t affect him badly. I think the kids are not well trained to accept the simple things in their life. They are brilliant on educational wise but very much weak on mentally that is the reason on failing to handle hurts. Regarding the slapping, it is really unnecessary especially by the teacher. The teachers are trained for all these things then also how they fail to keep their discipline.

Those days of slapping is ALMOST gone,Surekha beti i left high school in 1962, our teachers used to slap and beat, made us kneel-down too; it has positive effect on us like we always completed home work and task etc; let me tell you during my stay in Hyderabad my daughter in law who reads in class ninth in a reputed convent school told, her teacher slapped her

Violence should not be the answer that the teachers would be teaching the children. The children would be watching as other children are slapped or beat in order to get them to behave, this is exactly the type of environment that we want to avoid for our kids to grow up in.

As a parent I am not a big proponent of spanking my children so I would be extremely upset if I was to find out that one of my children's teachers was to smack a child in front of the class because the child had not done things in the way that the teacher thought that they ought to be done. Here it is actually illegal for a teacher to use corporal punishment on their students which is something that is quite different from the way that things were when I was growing up.

Violence and beating, in my opinion, is not a right answer for any problem (unless someone attacked us), especially not with children. I think the kid should have got punished in other ways, not physically... this way the teacher only showed that he wasn't competent as a teacher, because he didn't find any other way, just physical violence, to educate the children.

definitely its not though may be some people find it effective. This is an abuse on the part of a student and this should not be practiced. There are some other ways in which we can discipline our students.
