It was today i actually decided to get into the all round abuse drive by bloggers. First of all i thought hardly what should i write about abuse because there are many kinds of abuses and many forms of abuse. ABUSE- An improper use of power, its a type of misuse, can be a sort of insulting language, could be an unjust or currupt practice, a maltreatment(child abuse), illtreatment. Then this one came to my mind. As the topic indicates i am writing about the Student abuse in schools by their teachers.
There have been even many reports of student deaths due to this beating by their teachers or private tutors. Say teacher asked some sort of question from the student and the student was not able to anwser that - teacher lost his temper and started his non-voilent act. Better if give some real life examples see for yourself Teacher Beats student to death.where a teacher beats up an 8th std student to death and other similar incident this one
What i here intend to say that these(above 2) kinds of incients may be somewhat uncommon of student dying due to teachers beatings and the teacher ending up in jail. But what about others who go on with these kind of abuse incidently or even bear it for the longer duration of time. Basically this is a kind of well known child abuse but affects both physically and psycological behaviour of the child. Physical abuse is a visible form and can easily be detected by others, by parents etc where the teacher uses generally striking, slapping, hair pulling, pinching etc with these kids. Its on some occasons (enerally argued by teachers)of these measures for correcting the students and is acceptable by both parents and later by students. But excess of these resullts in illeffects on the student both on his studies, his behaviour and his rest of his entire life.Yes tis kind of behavior is banned in many countries of the world and strict action can be taken against the teacher if found guilty.
The other one is kind of emotional abuse or psycological which includes verbally by yelling on the child, name-calling, constant criticism, insults, threats, intimidation, humiliation. As well, isolating the child from friends or regular activities, and using silent treatment against him and his developnment. Now this kind of psycological treatment is generally never concerned with as no one can prove it nor the victim is in the position to complain probably he is afraid in doing so. So what will the student do in this case.Moreover (generally speaking) the number of students affected by psycological affects due to illtreatment are also less at a perticular place so normally get unnoticed. Now physical assult can be clearly seen and talked about and among the students. what abt this one.. do you have answers??
Now question arises why do teacher do such kind of act or better say why do teacher beat students?? Now as i am not related psycology so i can't come up with full explanation but will try to answer my best.
One thing which came up to my mind is old fashioned(barbaric) techniques or say beating is generally and normally used technique to make a student on the right path. That can be easily adopted by teachers. Second thing which came up to my mind was the teachers own personal problems which results in his this kind of behaviour. Third teacher is insane(generally quoted by students). If you know any please let me know waiting for your replies.
I found some organisations working against this kind of abuse some are:-
