Is it normal that my son slaps teachers and gets away with it?

61 Comments

My son is a 4th-grader at a reputable school in a decent area. I have no idea what to think after hearing of recent incidents in which my son was involved.

The first time was when he was in class and told by the teacher to move his desk. He responded by calling her a "fucking Moroccan ape" before jumping up and slapping her clear across the face. For this he received nothing but an admonishment.

More recently he was in the office for a completely unrelated offense and just as he was being let go to return to class, he stopped behind the principle's desk to reach over his shoulder and whack him in the jaw with an open palm. He then left and slapped no less than two female teacher's aides on his way out. Again, nothing was done about this.

Should I be alarmed or pleased?

    You're a bad parent if you allow your spawn to hit grown adults. That boy needs his ass beat with a leather strap. Be responsible for your kid's bad behavior. Otherwise, he'll be in juvie at 16 and real prison at only 19.

    My son is 5, he told his teachers that he wasn't learning anything and there was no point being there, then he turned over a desk.

    When they asked me about I said he was right and they needed to start doing their job.

    Kids aren't always wrong.

      That has more to do with the school system overall than the teachers themselves and a lot of times the system will prevent teachers(Even good ones) from doing a good job.

    You seem to know a lot of details about this "true" story for not being there.

    I question where your child learned that kind of racist language. Your child's behavior is terribly abusive and disrespectful.

    You should talk to his pediatrician to try and rule out any health issues. He may need a psychiatric exam. As bad as this might seem, it will tell you whether it is a behavioral issue that might need counseling or something that needs interventionist treatment.

    A demonstration of physical abuse in public, towards someone outside of ones family and towards one who is in a position of authority; is already way too far down the road of "Being a danger to others".

    At this point corporal punishment may only reinforce his core beliefs as to the utility of abusive behavior.

    Seriously, where did he hear that kind of language? Who is fostering his hateful speech?

    He needs to know how to handle conflict. Apparently he has not been taught how to handle conflict.
    Let his grandfather adminster some good old fashioned "kick ass" He needs to be aware of what is expected not what he thinks he likes.

    Is he White? Also, your son sounds like a racist. Of you aren't okay with that type of behaviour, you need to teach him otherwise. He needs to be disciplined. He sounds spoiled. Ground him.

      Yes, he's White. But after his grandpa catches wind of this, I predict he'll soon be several shades of black and blue.

      Anyway, why do you ask?

        So...teach him physical violence is wrong by...being physically violent to him?

        Edit- not that I believe this little story actually happened, but I do find it funny, and added it to my favourites.

        White children usually tend to get away with more than their minority counterparts. They don't tolerate minorities acting out. There was a case a few years back, where the teacher called the cops on a little African girl who was having a tantrum.

          I think it depends on the individual case, based on several factors.

          For starters, you heard of that case from a mainstream media source, which has a tenacious habit of consistently painting non-Whites as victims of White aggression. Outrages of all kinds happen to Whites constantly, but you never hear about such things from the TV.

        Slap the shit out of your son. He clearly knows no discipline.

            Okay I guess we should teach him that slapping the teacher is okay. Great parenting advice. Here is some basic Psychology for you. If someone knows what it feels like they are more likely to be empathetic to it. If the child knew what it feels like to be slapped maybe they would be less likely to start slapping other people. If this does not work and the child feels nothing and simply trys to get away with it than they are a psychopath. So unless you think we are dealing with a psychopath and NOT an unrooly child it should be an effective method.

              I was being sarcastic, sorry if that wasn't clear!

              I agree with you on one issue, I'm sure the reason why I'm so emphathetic is because I was belted as a child, not just slapped and I can't bear seeing or hearing about it now.

              I hit my own child only three times, always when I was stressed by my relationship with her father, which is no excuse and I always apologised profusely. She's well & truly an adult now and as far as I know has never hit any of her 3 kids, although both husbands did and one of them hit her too.

              I do not believe anyone has the right to hit someone smaller or weaker: that's so obvious I can't believe anyone still defends it.

              I wasn't aware that we were talking about psychopaths? How did that get in here with no evidence or context whatsoever? I thought the main feature of psychopaths is that they have no conscience or empathy and I reckon that would apply to a lot of adults who hit children.

    I can't see anything hilarious about it. Where did he get hte idea it's ok to hit people and why are these adults putting up with it? Very strange school I think ...... or very strange post?

      Sounds like a Maharishna Free School where you are taught to have a numb brain. They call the numbing process CBIDs (Consciousness Based Inner Development).

        I did some googling, there's a lot about meditation, which I suppose could be brain numbing if carried to an extreme, but the videos of the schools showed kids in uniforms in normal structured classrooms with conservatively dressed teachers - hardly "free". Are we talking about the same thing?

            Btw, the first I've ever heard about that school was on here. That might be like the only one in the uk. Its totally crazy, and not like the usual schools we have here.

            I can't see why you think there's any connection between these schools and being allowed to hit teachers or your mother? Seems like that'd be totally frowned on in such a compulsorily peaceful environment?

            I'm not impressed with any schools who indoctrinate kids and I'm DEFINITELY opposed to such schools being government funded to any extent at all ..... why should my taxes support religious indoctrination? I was surprised to see that these schools are government funded in the UK.

            In Australia we not only have very rich government funded religious schools, but government funded religious school chaplains and most recently, a move by our (RC) prime minister for the government to subsidise the training of priests ........ and we're supposed to have church and state separated ....

              Sorry to hear that state is infiltrating church with financial grants. That means church will soon be infiltrating state with lobbying and political influence.

        I haven't heard of them, I must get googling. Doesn't sound much different from mainstream education though and I'll bet "free" isn't accurate.

        If you're right, she can hardly complain about his behaviour, right?
