What is the right thing to do if a teacher in your school hits you?

Question

It happens very frequently in my school as teachers insult you or if they lose their temper they hit you. When students complain to the school principal... all he says is that we must have done something wrong to deserve that. That "wrong" are things like not completing homework & notes, talking in class, etc.

It's not like it hurts when they hit but you feel insulted... you know what I mean?

I'm in an all boys school in Dubai, by law they are not suppose to be hitting us... they threat us if we complain to the ministry of education... first of all they will just warn the teacher and then they will ruin our life, and yes that does happen.

When they hit you it's usually a slap across the face or head, or sometimes they get too agressive then they get brutal.

My school re-opens september 1... I want put an end to this. Should I call the police??

I'm 16 years, 11th grade.

My school is very well known and has about 4000 boys

Answer 1

This is completely wrong. Threat you by what?

You can either complain or change your school.

Which school is this? I also live in Dubai

I've heard the news about a teacher that used to hit the students, they called the police and the teacher got fired

In my school, we actually have fun with them.

Good luck

Answer 2

It is absolutely wrong for the teachers to do that.

Stick up for yourself.

Let the education department know about this matter.

Your education cannot be ruined.

Answer 3

its against the law so you have no choice but to tell someone of higher authority if the principal is stupid enough to let this continue.  tell your parents and try to bring an end to this.

Answer 4

My suggestion... Behave in school. I believe to many young people think they can get away with anything because they will just run home to mommy or call the police. Maybe if you behaved you wouldn't have to worry about being hit. Do the right thing and everything else will take care of itself.
