bullied by teachers.?

Question

I was bullied by the gym teacher(when I was a teen)I was not good in sports and PE.The teacher called me names like fag and sissy in front of the class.One time I missed the ball in volley ball and He took me and threw me against the wall and said what is wrong with you.I reported it to
the principal and he said I deserved it and it will make me try harder.Said you deseved to be punished when you are
not good at something.
The next time he thew me against the wall and called me
a ****** because I was not good in PE class I cussed him out and got suspened for 2 weeks and my parents went to
the s school board about this and the coach lied his way out out of it.None of my classmates would speak up as
a witness because I guess they were afraid.
When you are a kid how do you stand up for yourself with
abusive adults?

Answer 1

Get the police involved that is the last thing a School Board wants is to have a police investigation on a Teacher for abuse on a child

Answer 2

Ok firstly let me tell you that I am kind of in the same boat as you (apart from I have a good teacher). I am not good at PE, and I know exactly how it feels. Now if you do have a teacher like him just make sure that you are safe first: that is your uttermost priority. Tell a close friend or two to make sure that they will alert someone when something is happening... . To be honest with you these kind of people dont change: and you just need 2 cope with them. He's not gonna be your teacher forever, just till july. Just try and get each and every lesson over well, and dont piss him off. Its better for him and you.

If he does touch you, just make sure that you do tell someone. You MAY just want to somehow tape a lesson on a phone (not the greatest idea actually). Tell social security, or a teacher that believes you, as your safety comes first.

If you really are unsure call childline or alert authorities. You could even persuade your school to change teachers for some time. It's a very hard scenario you're in, but your main priority must be your safety. Be careful and get proper help - remember it's only a silly lesson once or twice a week.

Answer 3

I have a daughter who is mildly hydrocephalic and has delayed visual motor skills. When she was in fifth grade, she had a teacher who demanded a high level of neatness in written work. She also prided herself on not reviewing student files at the beginning of the school year so students could "start over." Had she read my daughter's file, she would have seen that the visual-motor delays were well documented. When my daughter's work wasn't done neatly enough, she kept my daughter in for recess to copy the work. After three weeks of this, my daughter came home and pulled a plastic bag over her head in an attempt to suffocate herself. The principal refused to transfer her and the school board did nothing.
To answer the asker's question, sometimes there isn't much that can be done. In the case of physical abuse, Child Protective Services can be called.

Answer 4

I have been volunteering in a SEN school for just over a month now and I have seen similar behaviour from teacher's 'turning a blind eye to the kids who out cast others' and I don't know what to do about it other then encouraging them to interact together as equals but as a parent I would know what to do as a teacher did this to my daughter, I reported her to the head teacher and then wrote a diary of what happened and when then sent a copy to the Chair of Governors at the school with a letter explaining my concerns, I don't know if it would work if it was an anonymous letter (if you didn't want to have your name mentioned) but maybe if it was brought to the attention of the senior members of staff who then bring it to the attention of the teacher in question he/she may realise their actions are wrong and work on changing them. You should feel proud of your self for noticing such cruelness and not participating in it your self as many people would just so they would not become the target them self's.

Answer 5

truth is lots of teachers bully

what happened to you , think about it , if it had happened to you as an adult it would be called assault.. you and your parents should have gone to the cops..
my son was abused by his teacher once .the teacher grabbed him by the t-shirt at the shoulders and twisted it until he cried out in pain..i heard the story from a friends daughter , i happened to be there for lunch at the time . so i left and went to the school to inquire as to what happened . the teacher was rude and condescending to me for asking he told me to my face the next time it would be much much worse for the boy..when he said this to me i was sitting he was standing and he held his hands shaped into fists to make his point very clear to me . and it was. my response to him was off the wall,i slowly got to my feet and in a very quiet voice explained to him that any further violence from him would find him (the teacher) in the hospital or perhaps worse .. he quit teaching two weeks later ..
am i sorry? only because i lost it .. but not that it happened.. it turns out this man had been bulling my son daily since the start of the school year,he quit just before easter.

Answer 6

I lost my illusions about the fairness and goodness of teachers when I was in 7th grade. My math class was right after our lunch break, and we kids would come in from the yard area and line up, and we would sometimes be a bit rowdy.

Mrs. Rodgers, my math teacher, one day brought us into the classroom and started to lecture us about how we should line up quietly. We were right next to the Special Ed classroom, where kids with learning disabilities were taught.

"Some of those kids are completely crazy and do nothing but throw temper tantrums all day long," she said, and proceeded to paint a picture of the special ed kids as being so whacko that they practically needed a keeper with a cattle prod to keep them from rioting, and our noise made things worse.

Mrs. Rodgers didn't know that my younger brother was in that class. He had dyslexia and was, like most of the kids in that class, really a good kid who tried very hard to learn in spite of his problems and who was better behaved than 99.99% of the so-called normal kids.

I could not believe that a teacher could say such awful things about the learning disabled kids. I raised my hand and Mrs. Rodgers called on me. "My brother is in that class," I told her, "and those kids over there aren't like you say they are. They aren't out of control, they aren't crazy, and they don't throw tantrums all day long. Why are you saying these things about my brother and the other kids?"

Man, you could have heard a pin drop. I thought she would apologize. Instead, she started blustering and fussing about how I had "misunderstood" her and she hadn't said any such things and I shouldn't be talking back to her. And if I had a brother in that class (which she greatly doubted) she didn't understand why I would "boast" about it.

I could not believe it. I can honestly say right up to that moment, I really believed that teachers were good people who spoke the truth and believed in the best of people. Mrs. Rodgers taught me that that just was not the truth, and I have to say that after that I made teachers earn the trust I gave them.

It still makes me sad to think that there are teachers out there who are so hurtful and ignorant. Such people shouldn't go in to teaching, IMO.

Answer 7

Sorry, I can't really relate to you, I wasn't bullied or abused by teachers. I think self-confidence helps prevent kids from being picked on or bullied by other people.
