Teacher writes "minus 20% for being a loser" on a 6th grader's assignment

[ToxicAvenger]

ooo having said that....

i used to get caned ...A LOT 


for boys...i think caning is perfectly A-OK


the girls never got caned...but they gpot other punishments like ...extra homework or ...having to take off your shoes all day in school and walk barefoot

[drkaje]

teacher marking an incorrect paper with red ink....totally ok
teacher calling a kid a loser....not ok


i've thought some pretty nasty stuff about my students from time to time but i would NEVER verbalize them....hell no....

no matter what...a good teacher always encourages....

FWIW, I would also graciously include "Fat" in her nickname.

it ws a british school with very english tradations...

crime : improper tie tied in uniform > punishment : stand in hot sun for 1 hr during break and miss break
crime : put upside down thumb tacks on english teachers chair > punishment : get 10 hard whoops with wooden cane on butt or knuckles and maybe a facial tight slap to boot
crime : socks dont match or one is higher than other  > punishment : run around school in heat 20 laps holding your shoes on top of your head
crime : throw chalk at teacher while his back is turned, hitting him squarely on neck > punishment : stand in heat for 1 hr holding arms straight out and get caned every time u drop your arms.
crime : draw a pretty damn good impression of the english teacher having sex with the door man, on the blackboard > punishment : get expelled for good (happened to someone i know)

Were these punishments good deterrents for subsequent infractions?

the expelling of the 1 student ws...cause he prolly got his ass beat at home for it...plus there ws 1 other good school in karachi..and he sure wasn't gonna get in there after getting expelled from anywhere...

as for the other stuff...yes it did although it did not kurb it completely, it sure reduced the occurences .
hell if it wasn't for the canings i think we woulda succeeded in killing our organic chemistry teacher...who had had 3 by pass surgeries and whom we used to BOO loudly around corners...only to be caned...but if we were never caned...we woulda done it every day instead of once every 2 weeks

There are always a few teachers that you don't get along w/but you guys (students and punishers) seemed a bit intense!

it ws an all boys school....

a common winter tradition ws "coat parade"
where if you were stupid enough to walk into a class room full of quietly sitting guys(should be a tip off right there)...during winter when we had to wear blazers...someone hiding behind the door blazer in hand ws gonna tackle you...pull the blazer over your head...trip you and then the whole class ws gonna proceed to beat the bloody crap out of you....till you got the blazer off..then everyone ws 5 feet away swearing that they were trying to defend you

Yeps, this (above, Toxi's post, not the nouveau riche debauched socialist democratic nowadays antisocialbehaviour non-discipline I'll give you 20pc because I care crap) sounds realistic.


Toxi's sounds akin to a proper British education approx 20-30 years ago.  Did me no harm and I bet Toxi is also 99.9pc sane.

And he can spell.  But I bet I got a higher score in Latin and he was better at PE...

Reckon we got minus20pc for being a loser never ever.  Because we were very very good.  I got 94% in advanced French and 96% in Spanish after one year.  Never went to Paris or Barcelona though.

i skipped latin and somehow got to take religion (islam)....man o man that ws a bad idea....
i failed religion and history regularly...i mean seriously...who the fuck wants to know pakistani history 
yanno linds they changed the proper O and A levels to the GCSE O and A level...a few kids in japan commited suicide (also india) and they figured it ws too tough...now its only slightly harder than the SATs..which in my opinion r a joke..compared to the old O levels...hell at 15 i ws walking into 300 level math and physics classes(uni of maryland) and beating the pants of the asian kids that were 18 and 19  (tooting my own horn..but true)

love it!

Meant to say you'd be better at PE and obviously also RE, but didn't think anyone would understand...

I was taught to memorise the Bible & I'm not even Catholic...



Fortunately my family emigrated to Canada when I was young, just after I'd passed my 11plus.  I'm proud to say I quit school at 16.  I have no A or O or GSCE anything nor NVQ levels.  Got a job instead.

I did though apply to and got accepted on a part-time evening Economics Uni course when I was 18 and took the grant money and ran to the shops and bought a stereo with massive speakers...

Darling, I'm far more like akin to Patsy

"No, I am not drunk! How could I be drunk? I'm at the bloody zoo! ...




ps: I knew the people that wrote that show and they quoted me and that was so blimming long ago I've almost forgotten.  That was the 80s darling.

(Obviously I was never cut out to be a teacher. If you'd misbehaved I would have sought refuge in the kitchen, found the fridge and sloshed down half a bottle of Stoli and then I'd have taken a big red permanent marker to your forehead or fore something...

Most of the punishments associated with "Proper English education" are a result of institutional laziness, stress conformity over understanding, and miseducate some to believe non-conformity equals being smart.

Someone with a talent or capacity to develop young minds wouldn't need violence, humiliation or otherwise. Teaching is about more than stuffing information in a brain.

Having kids doesn't mean people know how to parent.

[Helena]

Having kids doesn't mean people know how to parent.

There should be some type of assessments made on parents , yearly if not more often .

If they make people take driving tests why isn't there a certain criteria to be upheld in order to keep your children ?

If a parent can't spell , do math , or know right from wrong behavior why should they be allowed to raise a child without being taught themselves ?

first...u cant even begin to comprehend the culture of a brit school....we took it in stride....sometimes trying to stifle laughter...not your American punk crybaby students...so u r merely commenting on MY experience and actually assuming your assessment is correct?  how do u know it ws non conformity?  were u there?lol..yeesh
thats EXACTLY why i went to college at 15 beating the pannies of most 'smart' people in class
thats EXACTLY why quite a few students from my class went on to MIT on scholarships
thats EXACTLY why we did calc in the 9th grade ...and getting a 94% WAS A B!

sorry jake...it ws tough...and better..a 9 grader from the O-levels program can rape the SATs...
deal with it

I've never quite understood how "I'm bigger than you!" teaches kids poop about how to act as people.

Toxy,

So you'd have no problem with being beaten, shamed or humiliated now in the pursuit of smartness?! Getting caned doesn't make people smart, FFS.
