Have you ever seen a teacher use humiliation as punishment on boys in school?

Question

When I was in grade school I had a teacher who often humiliated any boy who disrupted her glass. A boy who talked to much was given a pacifier and made to stand in the corner. Or any guy that pulled a girls hair had to wear a ribbon in his hair on the playground. Have you ever seen this type of punishment used any where when you were in school?

Answer 1

I went to a school run by a supposedly Christian denomination where we were hauled out in front of the class if we misbehaved and given a hell-fire sermon about how we'd betrayed God's trust and love and shamed our parents, the school, the Church and the world in general, while the angels were looking down and weeping, Satan was stoking up his fires ready to receive us and other similar rubbish. This from teachers who were often visibly drunk, thieving from the petty cash in the bursar's office, groping each other in dark corridors etc. I laugh at it all now but at the time it was very oppressive and, to say the least, morally confusing.

Answer 2

hi i'm a instructor myself, and from the instructor's point of view , he couldn't know what you and your pal were speaking about so if he suggested no speaking you had damaged a rule. i imagine your pal must have requested the question to him no longer to you. So there replaced into the first fault yet I agree, he overreacted with the help of letting you out of sophistication for 1/2 an hour, and then make you sit down in a nook, so there he made a mistake too. properly a minimum of, he did provide you with time to do the try or no longer basically say now time is up.. that would want to were the cherry on the cake. One piece of suggestion , throughout the time of tests or tests, please do what you're informed or you stand to lose. sturdy success and take care Ruth

Answer 3

Public humiliation is almost always the best form for curring misbehavior. I've been at the recieving end many times, whether it was intentional punishment or not. I've never had a sexist teacher, all of my teachers used humiliation on both genders.

Answer 4

I used to have a teacher who made us put our book over our head and stand up next to our desk for an hour if we disrupted her class. The other kids would throw stuff at that person.

Answer 5

LOL!!! How times have changed? I remember many teachers who punished and many parents took the side of the teachers unless it became extreme. There was a teacher who would make us kneel in front of the class.

Answer 6

my teachers were often like that, they would stand me infront of the class and hold out my paper if i may'd a bad grade, they did this to others to.

I think the world would be a better place if we did some old fashioned punishments.

Answer 7

well most of my teachers favoured the boys...and now i go to an all girl's Catholic high school --nope never seen that type of punishment...the teacher must of had a bad experience with boys-- I'm not a boy..but one time my teacher taped me to my chair XD

Answer 8

in 6th grade this teacher made this guy take off his shirt and walk down to the office with out no shirt..i think under the circumstances that was very uncalled for

Answer 9

Yeah I got paddled once when i went to lutheren school.

My sister found out and beat up the teacher, her teacher then paddled her, My cousin found out and beat up that teacher, The principal tried to suspend us all, But my mom found out and beat down the principal for letting teachers touch her kids...Then moms pulled us out and we all went to a new school.

True story.

Answer 10

This sort of treatment was accepted decades ago. Today, it would be grounds to dismiss the teacher.
