Has a teacher/coach/instructor ever laid a finger on you?
 

I'm not talking about pats on the back, lol. When you were a kid, has a teacher/coach/instructor ever hitted, pushed, shook, or grabbed you?

Yes. Teachers in the middle east don't play.

-Rudey

Yes, when I was in Japan.
I was in preschool and I had these mean lady for a teacher. She use to give all the bad kids a spanking.
We were on some fieldtrip at a museum and I began to walk ahead of the group. She yanked me back and gave me a spanking.
I never said anything to my parents about it because I thought they'd be mad at me for walking ahead of the group. I finally mentioned something to them about it when I was 10. They were PISSED when I told them that my teacher had done this. My parents' approach is that they can hit me if they want but nobody else is allowed to lay a finger on me. :)
Oh well, it was too late then to do anything about it. It didn't scar me for life or anything.

When I was in 7th grade, Mr. Lockwood, my social studies teacher, had a reputation for taking chalkboard erasers, chalking them up, and pelting us with them. Our uniforms were ugly pieces of polyester or polyurethane navy blue, and a bitch to clean off.

He was fired by the time I reached 8th grade.

A teacher never touched me, but I remember a teacher slapped my classmate in the face. When my mother heard that, I was sent to private school.

I did have a teacher and a coach who were verbally abusive to me. Only a grown up with a complete lack of social skills and some serious problems can be mean to a young girl. I didn't know that at the time and thought that it was my fault. :(

When my husband was in first grade, his mom noticed that his arms were covered with tiny violet half-moons. So were his friends' arms. Turns out that this vicious teacher was digging her nails into them when they missed questions. The school told my in-laws that they couldn't fire her until the end of the year.:mad: Back in the day, you didn't have much recourse when that stuff happened.

The evil old witch must be 90 and still lives around the corner from my in-laws.

When I was in elementary school, I refused to write in cursive. My fine motor skills was little behind, since I was the youngest in my class. I didn't like how I had to write much slower in cursive, opposed to writing pretty fast in print. One day, this bitch (my teacher) shook me and shouted "write cursive, write cursive!" My neck was sore for days. Til this day I have an aversion to cursive writing, and only do it whenever I need to sign something.

I did too! He was later forced to resign b/c of "personal reasons" (he got caught doing a 17-year-old student).

Oh snap! :eek:

My coach was a volunteer who yelled at the team that we all sucked and were losers. She quit after we lost a softball game. We replaced her with a really nice and supportive coach. She was great and had a wonderful approach. The truth was we really did suck, but we were 12 and 13 year olds who needed instruction. We actually improved a lot with the second coach because we weren't afraid and anxious around her.

The teacher picked on a girl who told her parents. It was only girls that he picked on. She and her parents lodged some complaint against him. There was a big investigation. The Board of Trustees almost fired him, but instead demoted him from principal to teacher. When I had my reunion, he apologized to my sister for being mean to me. What a weirdo!

I don't think this stuff happens more in public schools. Asshole teachers can be in any sort of school situation. :(

I was verbally harassed by my 6th grade PE teacher. My parents kept on going to the principal and guidance counselor about it, but nothing was ever done.

I had a teacher who had definite anger management problems. He was my 5th grade math teacher, and I remember him getting so mad one day that he picked up a desk and threw it. But as far as I knew, he never laid a hand on any students. Apparently, his anger issues became such a concern in the following years that by the time my little brother (6 years younger than me) got to 5th grade, the teacher had been removed from his position. Since he never had hit a student, he was given a vice principal position in hopes that less direct contact with students would be okay. But I heard that he snapped one day and actually grabbed a kid by the throat. :eek:

Needless to say, he is no longer in that position either.

Only the females and I was pretty ok with it.

I agree. In Toronto right now, a former teacher of one of the most prestegious boys' schools is on trial for sexually abusing his students back in the 1970s.

I got my ass beat in every grade K-8, with the exception of K & 3. Mostly for talkign or not doing my homework. Them bitches in west texas dont mess around.

BTW, I went to public school.

My grade 11 math teach was charged with 20 counts of sexual assult. He was charged after I had left the school. I don't know how long it had been going on. Fortunately, I was not one of his victims.

i had a few teachers that would yank me by the arm

My 2nd grade teacher made me stand in a corner with my hands straight in the air until i cried and couldnt hold them up anymore... all for not asking permission to get out of my seat.

another girl she made lay on the floor with her legs up and her arms straight in the air... she was a chunky kinda girl and she made fun of her saying something smells funny and the girl cried and cried.

she was a meanie teacher.. :(
she didnt last long in my school.. i think she quit a year later...or got fired..not sure

Back in the days of universal corporal punishment, I got a couple of swats with a paddle (good training for pledging -- just kidding) from the principal for getting into a fight with some guy in the locker room. That was in Junior High.

In those days, that wasn't uncommon at all.

The principal was a short little guy, with shoulders about 8 feet wide. He was a former gymnast and college cheerleader. Those damned swats hurt like hell.

Never paddled, but 'snuck' out of it.

1st grade -- I was the posterboy for ADHD. I guess I drove my poor teacher a little nuts. In my defense, she was a bia. So, one day, she sent me down to the office to be paddled. I was a veteran of being sent to the principal's office -- we played chess when I went down there. But, I had never been sent to be paddled.

I just hung out on the boy's bathroom, threw a little water on my face to make it appear that I had experienced pain, waited a few minutes and trotted myself back to class with a great story of how bad it was.

I went home and told my parents. They had a chat with the principal and told them they weren't allowed to paddle me. The next day, I told the principal's secretary that I knew they couldn't paddle me and got sent to the principal again :D

So, I'd have a nice story about being paddled if it wasn't for 1/2 evil cunning and 1/2 luck.

Grade school was fun.

Mrs. Morgan. The evil bitch from hell broke my fingers when I was in the first grade. Her justification was that I talked way too much so she had to instill discipline. She banded together five 12" rulers with rubber bands and made my put my fingers on the edge of the desk. She then smacked me one time for every time she had to tell me to be quiet. It came to a total of 11 times. I cried & went home to tell my mom. The next day, my mom, elder sister, aunt & uncle went to the district office to show them my left hand. We also carried the x-rays to prove that she broke my fingers. The evil wretch was suspended and the last I heard, she left California & was teaching somewhere in Atlanta.
This was about 18 years ago. She had to be in her 50's when I had her so she is probably still alive. B I T C H!

Yes, but it was a "good touch." Ms. Greene was hot.

You know what? You all were just some bad ass kids! How 'bout that?



<---- teacher


lol

LMAO

That's what my mother's piano instructor did to her every time she hit a wrong note! She used a rod.

Nope. But one of the high schools I went to the athletic director laid his "11th finger" on/in several female students.

I had a math teacher in high school who would get upset at the students if we didn't understand. Her favourite phrase when we had blank looks on our faces was "do you understand?" She was very strict, but at the same time, we all gave her an amazing send off when she retired.

OMGoodness! We had a female teacher at a former high school of mines that had several "11th fingers" from the male student population. It was never publicized b/c apparently they were all seniors and 18. She left the job but no charges were ever pressed.

Ok, about the "spankings"...I thought that CP was made illegal like 50 years ago. Am I wrong?

Once. In Africa. and he apologized after he realized that my uncle was one of the teachers. it's funny cuz the guy was an amateur and accidently got a stick in my left eye (which coincidently is my bad eye now).

If you get hit by a teacher here, isn't that abuse?

He beat you with a stick in your eye?

-Rudey

He meant to aim elsewhere, but got me in the eye.


This was quite typical in Africa.

Maybe in Kansas. Here in Oklahoma, it's perfectly legal with parental consent.

I never had a hand laid on me, but my high school bf (and other male hs friends) were seduced by a teacher. He must have been a switch hitter, though, because he got a 7th grader pregnant years later!

Your high school BF got seduced by a male teacher lol? How traumatic for a girl in puberty .. .

Cheated on you with an older man . . .

Not as traumatic as you think, only because I didn't find out until long after I broke up with him! The worst part is, this teacher has tenure!

Well, I wasn't hit, but my 6th-grade-private-school principal once put me in isolation.

A girl accused me of throwing a ball at her on purpose. (It was in P.E. during basketball.) My principal believed her since her mommy was a teacher:rolleyes:

So, I was placed in In-school suspension. This meant that my parents THOUGHT I was being watched while sitting in the office.

But, in reality, they placed me in a storage closet for three days straight!

It really wasn't that bad, because I slipped out and went to the bathroom whenever I pleased. No one came to check on me, so I slept a lot.

hillbilly school
 

i went to a rather backwoods school. if you got in trouble in class the teacher just got out the paddle and nailed you right there. up to three swats depending on the nature of the trouble. but there was this one time when it did get out of hand.

i had to enroll in this agriculture class, i grew up on a ranch and the last thing i wanted to deal with at school was more cattle and other animals. but all the guys took ag and all the girls took home economics. i didnt really like home ec but there were lots of girls and the teacher was hot, so it would be better than casterating a bunch of pigs for an hour.

i was bound and determined to get out of the class, at any cost, so i decided to just mess up alot in class and maybe i would be asked to withdrawl or something. i did stuff like put a little gas on my welding gloves so that when i began welding a small fire would erupt and i would look like a dumb a$$ that could do anything right. it was funny and more than anything i did it for jokes, but my greatest, and last screw up came in the middle of the semester.

i was complaining to the teacher that we go out and see everyone elses show pig and that he just ignores mine and i was starting to feel like he was playing favorites. well we drove all the way out to my house and when we got there i was like i keep him in the back. we went into the back yard and i had this cage that is actually a dog cage for my bird dogs that were in texas for the summer so the pin was all grown up with chest high grass and was obviously empty. the teacher walked up beside me and i said "oh my god the little bastard ran away"

he knew i was lying and he got rather pissed off. we all loaded up on the bus and as we were pulling out he missed a few gears and i made the comment if you cant find em grind em. when we got back he swatted me and i laughed then he got so mad he threw a chair at me and i said "oh you did it now" and ran out of the room to the principles office. he laughed at what i did and put me in nutrition. the home ec teacher didnt trust me with making food or running the oven so i just sat around and played on the internet and was the food tasting judge. it was the best class ever.
