Teacher's shouting at children?

Question

When some teachers shout at children it makes them fell bad at them selfs and makes them fell sad for the rest of the day.

Please tell me what you think about this!

Answer 1

Oh yheah I know what you mean!

It ' s so sad when kids get yelled at.

Like , mah nephew came home from school and he was all sad and stuff 'cuhs his teacher yelled at him.

And it achually makes him scared to go bakc.

Teachers shouldn ' t yell at kids.

They should talk , and in a nice way you know?

It can affect them throughout their whole life achually.

Answer 2

sometimes kids don't listen and need to be shouted at-most kids ignore the teacher and don't care that they are being shouted at anyway-no discipline!

and what is 'fell'!?

Answer 3

if the kids don't get the discipline they need at home to be able to function in a group/peer setting it falls upon the teacher to instill this

the quickest, most effective and most efficacious way to do this is by shouting at them

if you don't want your children to be shouted at, teach them how to behave

judging you on your spelling and use of English you would appear to be one of the blame culture parents who can only criticise, and never offer support or praise when due

Answer 4

I think if the teacher thinks its justified, they should be allowed to shout as loud as they like.

Perhaps if more teachers shouted then children would be better behaved.

I frequently remember teachers shouting when I was at school but I never got shouted at because I actually behaved myself.

Children need discipline in school, not kid gloves.

School is all about preparing you for work, you cant just do whatever you want at work so why should you be allowed to at school?

Answer 5

As a teacher, and reading some of these posts, I am ready to throw my hands up in despair! Yes children do need discipline.... shouting is not necessarily an appropriate form of discipline though! I can honestly say I have never "shouted" at a child in 13 years of teaching.... all it conveys is that the teacher has lost control.... how do you gain respect by showing that loss of control? Simple, you don't!

A much more effective method is by actually lowering your voice an octave or two, and by simple body language! This may make the child feel sad at the time, but is not long lasting!

However, children do not necessarily feel sad for the rest of the day, after being disciplined by a teacher... it very much depends on how they deal with the child afterwards. Taking them aside, discussing what had occurred, and role modeling appropriate behaviours. Also finding something positive that the child has done, and praising them on that.

Answer 6

I agree with the asker.

And to some of the answerers: Oh yeah, I'm sure people in gangs had perfect happy lives where no one was ever mean to them including their parents and that's why they joined a gang.  Sure.

Answer 7

It's all part of life.

Answer 8

children need shouting at other wise they wont straighten up then they will start killing gangs and etc

Answer 9

teachers shouldnt shout at children

Answer 10

As a parent have you ever shouted at your child?

Now imagine having 30 of your child in one room trying to make sure that you keep your eyes on all of them because God forbid something happen to Billy while you are looking at Suzy and then Billy's mom wants to sue you when Billy shouldn't have been standing on the chair anyway.

9 days out of 10, I am the kind of teacher I like to be who can patiently repeat a direction for the 45th time, or calmly tell Josh to stop poking someone or whatever is needed.  When you establish a good structure and routine it helps minimize shouting.

Somedays though I am tired, or I see something dangerous that I can't reach for some reason, or i need to startle a child and then I have been known to shout.  Or ocassionaly when I have given a direction 17 times, I just get annoyed.  

If I am in the wrong I try to apoligize and if not life goes on.

I love children, I love my students and would do most anything for them but please remember that teachers are human too and for most of us our object is never to make the kids feel bad, though it will happen.  

A lot is expected of teachers from all avenues and it is by no means an easy job....I am not condoning shouting, but consider the circumstances, the situation and in general remember that as teachers, we have your child's best interest at heart.

Answer 11

MM.. as a student i also feel bad when a teacher scold me..

Answer 12

I think there are more appropriate ways to deal with children besides yelling and screaming across the room. Children don't respond well to this type of behavior since a big percent of them already hear this at home. I suggest taking the child to the side away from all the action and actually getting down to the child's level, looking then in the eye, and speaking in a firm, but loving voice and tell them what you want them to do rather than what you don't want them to do. Let them know alternatives ot the behavior. Children have feelings too and often adults treat them as if they don't have feelings or don't understand. Children constantly test limits. This is just what they do to learn. We need to be teaching them in a positive-loving manner. No wonder kids are bratty and don't know how to deal with situations on their own because of all the yelling they never learn.

Answer 13

Anger and violence begets more anger and violence. What are we teaching kids when we scream at them? That adults want them to solve problems in a rude and disruptive way? That obedience can be achieved by bullying and intimidation? This is the type of actions that encourage the incivility and injustice that is present practically everywhere today.

There is no excuse for a teacher to shout at a student unless that student is literally hard of hearing. If a student misbehaves then privileges need to be taken away until they are earned back as a reward for good behavior. Teachers that bully rather than provide a healthy environment for learning need to be evaluated, reprimanded and re-trained or demoted.

If the child won't respond to positive stimulation then the child needs to be instructed in a more forceful manner that is within legal boundaries which is determined and administered by the parents. Then there would be no reason for a teacher to take such drastic and unethical actions.

Personally if a child was being disruptive and unresponsive I would remove that child from the classroom so he/she doesn't interfere with the learning of the other children. They don't pay teachers enough to be educators and enforcers of behavior that should have already been taught to the child by the parents. However, if the teacher is shouting simply because the child isn't as quick or as bright as the other children then that teacher is a sub-par human being who shouldn't have the privilege of teaching.

Answer 14

Wish my teachers long ago had just shouted at me

instead of whacking me lots then sending me to the

head master for the big cane plus putting my name

in the black book.But i will say that i got in trouble at school

but have never been in trouble with cops in my long life.

Answer 15

I personally do not agree with Teachers shouting at Children. they are there to be educated not verbally abused,

However I do think sensible discipline is required...example eye contact & an explanation of why the teacher is annoyed  & the consequences of their actions.

Shouting at them achieves fear or ridicule. I think teachers should talk to Children how they would talk to a child of their own.

Shouting & humiliating behaviour just leads to poor self esteem.

Answer 16

It really depends whether the teacher shouted at the student because they did something wrong or they shouted at the student because of a silly mistake. To me, I hate it when I get told off but the good thing is we then know better so we wont do it again. For example, there's these girls in my class and they are so rude to the teachers and I think it's just right for the teacher to shout at them and put them in detention, but from what I've experienced from teachers is probably in Science when  I came over to the teacher to ask a question but she ended up shouting at me and I didn't even say anything. I felt so bad but I guess she thought I was out of my seat because I was just ,messing around but I later explained to her and she understood so that made me feel better.

Answer 17

I think nobody should yell at eachother inless it has to be done. If someone is in a bad sistuation they made need to yell. Maby she needed to get her angers out. But  dont think its neccsearry to yell.

Answer 18

i would not want my children shouted at by teachers..there are ways to discipline children without shouting..if the teachers are not calm or patient enough for the job they shouldn't be in the job

Answer 19

Try teaching class after class of the little darlings all day every day and you'll soon enough be shouting at them!

Answer 20

so what would you suggest they do instead then? you cannot just turn a blind eye to bad behaviour. you catch it young and your less likely to have problems in later life. bad behaviour should make you feel bad about yourself, and the incentive there is to behave as is expected of you so you dont feel bad about yourself again.

Answer 21

we need some discipline -  look how children are turning out these days without it - stabbings/violence

Answer 22

Yes, the shouting should be turned down, but we do need disapline in schools, as you can see from what is happerning in schools. I come fron a Chav school, and it's really bad what loads of teenagers are doing!

Answer 23

I go to a state high school in England. i think that teachers shouting at children is ok if it is for a good reason and is done professionally. It doesn't make me feel angry or sad for the rest of the day. I think kids in primary schools get sad when they are shouted at because they only have one teacher so they know them well.

That's my feelings.

Answer 24

I think you need to go back to school to learn how to spell??!!!

Answer 25

oh tough - there are far worse things in life and their parents need to teach them some resilience.  These days we are so busy teaching them to feel good about themselves (note the spelling) that we have a generation of teenagers and 20 somethings who feel so good about themselves that they think they are doing you a favour just for turning up to work and they they do not need to work or try hard at anything - they think they are entitled to whatever they want whenever they want without doing anything to deserve it.

Answer 26

teachers yelling at kids is for there own good because if they were not being naughty then they wouldnt get in trouble or yelled at.... if they were being naughty then its there own fault for feeling sad because they got yelled at....they need to learn from this and understand to respect authority and not let them get away with everything or we would have murders and shop lifters becoming of these kids because they were never taught wrong from right....they need to understand the rules and laws of society or our world would become total anarchy!!!

Answer 27

You shouldn't have to shout at them to discipline them. If you are shouting constantly then you are doing something wrong. An occasional yell or shout is bound to happen but if it is your only means of controlling the classroom then it isn't right.
