This video was taken by a student at Bangkok Christian College in Bangkok, Thailand. It shows students being beaten with a cane for the crime of not having their hair cut short enough! Shame on those boys. The beater obviously enjoys his work.

Bangkok Christian College in Bangkok, Thailand

The teacher is a barbarian & I hope he gets fired...

There is a legal distance a cane can be raised & the weight of said cane. This 'teacher' is an animal.

How do you *know*... they smile because the 'animal' will clout them again if they don't...

what?

........great warmer

fun had by all. kids were luvvin it!.... the whole lesson was upbeat and educational. bravo.

they smile because the 'animal' will clout them again if they don't

I was actually referring to the general laughter going on in the classroom as much as the kids who were getting whacked.

Your comment makes me believe that you have never seen discipline being handed out in a government school. They don't always smile, but they don't get whacked again for not smiling - this is not Victorian England!

Unlike yourself Diaw, I teach kids who get whacked, they take it far less eriously than you

I'm not saying it's right - but let's stick to the facts!

Defender, for your information, I was schooled at a prestigious government school in South Africa. In those days, caning was the norm, but it was performed under strict rules. In general, students were sent to either the Principal, or 2 Vice-Principals for discipline within the confines of their rooms.

The only 'open canings' were performed in the classroom, in the presence of other students, specifically to do with the term 'effort mark allocation'. This was performed by the Headmaster - an ex war hero - ironically tortured by the Japanese during WWII.

After a caning, we were expected to mutter 'Thank you, Sir', to show no hard feelings & as a sign of respect for authority. If not, we were given another caning.

Matters were all conducted in a very civilised manner, according to strict legal guidelines.

This barbarian in the video is breaking all the rules. Caning is *not* a game, it is a discipline. The 'animal' in the movie is engaging in beating, not dicipline - judged by attitude, obvious pleasure, & the height from which he wields the cane. The cane is also bent & very, very long causing excessive wrap-around & bruising. It would have been outlawed in SA.

If you consider the Thai way to be acceptable, then it is clear why most civilised countries have now outlawed such practices.

I was reminded of the bridge over the River Kwai, whilst watching that video. Thai-Japanese barbarism.

diaw...

What would the *norm* be for a prestigious Government School in the UK? :smile:

you beat your dog, or have done in the past haven't you diaw?
