I am of the opposite opinion. Teachers needs to be sent a message. They cannot get away with hitting kids. I mean these are grown up kids who know what is happening to them and can confirm continues usage of violence to discipline them. Plus one of the incident took place in front of your eyes. Any delay is just telling them that you are perfectly fine with usage of violence in the name of tutoring of your child.

Yes, I get it. Challenging the school authority could mean that the kid could be bullied by other kids and even teachers in the future. You might end up with a situation where you might need to change his school. But having discussions with the school authority would not change the fact that they are perfectly happy with using violence as a method of enforcing their authority over kids.

Things were different when we were kids. I have unpleasant memories of getting slapped by teachers back then. If I had the awareness of my rights that I have now... I would have done the needful myself. Even though it was considered perfectly acceptable back then to get slapped around by teachers for not doing homework or whatever.
 
But. The school can pretty much ruin his kid's education. Unless he can ensure admission someplace else, sending a 'message' might not be a wise thing to do. If admission can be guaranteed elsewhere, have a field day @ghpk!

Given the fact that, in this case, the school isn't ready to go against the teacher.

Of course, the teacher seems pretty pathetic. But unless, you've got influence, I don't see the fir doing much, since the school is backing the teacher. What other option is there to get back at the teacher?

What Amish has said, the problem now is if you take any action, there might be repercussions on the child's education if that person stays as a teacher in the school, and it would be wrong not to take any action.

If you do take any action, you'll need to make sure you raise the issue with hue and cry follow it up to the end - considering how lax indian police can be in matters which are not highlighted.
 
I guess you can start by consulting with other parents and have a collective meet with the school authority. Deliver a message clearly. Any form of violence in the name of discipline is just not acceptable.
 
Thanks all for views.

I'll talk to other parents in morning and then if the number goes above 10 or more, I'll take them along, and talk to principal.

if no one comes with me, I'll go to principal alone, however will certainly speak very frankly about whats going inside her, will
call a few journalist in front of her, if she any how said beating is acceptable and allowed to their teachers, I would love
to see her becoming little nervous.

Yes the principal has an DVR on her table, if I get a F.I.R. lodged, DVR would be the first thing I would ask police to grab and lock it
so they cannot wipe it then get the parts released to media.
Also I am sure this DVR would show slapping in all classes done on a regular basis, so she should be worried if that goes in media hands.

what a shame on people becoming teacher and hitting innocent child and making it a Discipline.
 
Resolving issue silently will help more.

What is the ultimate purpose? To get school pass a resolution that "No more slapping students" or to take a revenge?

If former than I would suggest not to go offensive on first day itself by taking police or journalist along. Spoiling relations is not going to help.

If principal is sane, he/she will try to understand your view. He/she will get respect for you and also your kid. And it will be much better for kids future (yours as well as others)

If he/she is not so sane, then you can tell her at end of conversation (very very calmly) - that you will take this matter ahead. And you will no more accept that your kid is being slapped. You have come to end the matter but if it drags ahead he/she will be responsible.
 
Yup. You have to make sure that the message is delivered. As a parent you would not tolerate any form of physical assault on your kid. And make sure that the kids are comfortable enough to tell you guys of any such action in the future. The point is that kids need to know that you are on their side and the behavior of the teachers is not acceptable. And they should report to you immediately if the same shit continues in the future.
 
kid was crying tonight, scared of going to school, I made her understand that she'll not Touch you and if she threatens you or
hits you again, I would deal with Her on the SPOT and make sure such brutality ends towards you and others.
I might be parked near school tomorrow for the 3 hour exam session.

The reason for not being silent is "someone has to raise the voice" so I cannot be like dumb a$$ who knows their kids are ill-treated,
hit wrongly, at school and remain silent cause its education and schools do beat the kids, BULL SHIT.
There's still LAW alive in this country, and I would respect it, and seek help if I feel the need.

I would not tolerate this or wait for a disaster in kids life, I don't want my child to become deaf with teacher hitting her so hard that
her ears give a "Whistle" for next few minutes, This is Cruelty and I know the way to deal with it.
I am not that kind of person who would not fight for my own kids and family. I would take it as a WAR if this shit continues.

I would try to calmly talk to principal and have her deal with the offending teacher, If she fails, then I will tell her that I am taking this as you allow your teachers to beat the child, and enough, will walk away with kid,
Later let the police, media, ministry deal with it.
I would make them so popular and give them a lifetime coverage in media which they would NEVER EVER FORGET.

Sorry but friends here, don't take this lightly, this kills your child's creativity, confidence and in worst case a disaster you are allowing a ILLEGAL ACT by having your child beaten up in school, JAAGO INDIA JAAGO.....

So a child gets slapped and the child will grow up to learn her teacher did something illegal with no fear of law and the school backed it, heck of a education we give to our children.

I do request you to negotiate with the principal not to open with threats best solution would be wait for the end of the year and shift to new school which does not hit children if there is one off course. Hope the meeting goes well and something good comes out of it i am sure this school does want its name in the newspapers for brutality.
 
^ so you want me to digest my child getting slapped hard infront of me, just for coming out of line, and when asking the teacher
I am presented with a threat to do whatever I can, means she's so fond of hitting a child for minute mistakes.

I've never gone to class for complaining about slaps awarded to child for studies, it does happen but there's a limit and
when its crossed, I should remind them legally they are not allowed to hit a child, why they do this on a regular basis.

Sorry to say, I don't have bangles in my hand, Every father has rights I'll make they realize they have to handle the kids properly
else there would be complications.
