Sadly bullying teachers - and in particular bullying primary school teachers - are not uncommon, and haven't been for years. Unfortunately, most complaints get dismissed with the full blame falling on the child, and it takes measures such as undercover recording to expose the true colours of most teachers.

We had one where a teacher was suspended from the classroom for 18 months for smacking a kid who was a known trouble maker.

We had one where a teacher was suspended from the classroom for 18 months for smacking a kid who was a known trouble maker.

It amazes me that teachers who assault students get off with suspensions.

Similar situation happened to me when I was a kid - a relief teacher hit me with a thick hardcover book across the head before mocking me for bursting into tears, like most 9 year olds would have after a few blows from that type of book (yes, a few classmates and I were mucking around with the book, but even in the early '90's hitting students was long outlawed). Several classmates went straight to the principal advising the relief teacher had lost the plot which fell on deaf ears.

A couple of weeks later, when I told my parents about it, mum went straight to the principal, and it was only then the relief teacher was not used by the school for the remainder of that year (and that was only after Mum said if the teacher wasn't removed she was pressing assault charges). The teacher returned the following year, but never taught my class again (and Mum said I was walk out immediately if she did).

Im going into bat for teachers here given that I used to teach myself and the missus is a primary school teacher who has to deal with autistic children everyday.

Youve got no idea the grief these kids and their parents cause. Dealing with autistic children is a nightmare. There is no cure to autism, it is all about management. And as a child grows up it's hell for all involved. Including a teacher, like my partner, who has to manage a terror as well as dealing with 31 other children. Everyday she is harrassed and verbally abused by the kid's parent about not spending enough time with the child and teaching it properly. Meanwhile the parent is on unemployment benefits and is a supsected heavy drug user.

It's a common story. Whinging f***ing parents just sitting at home pumping out kids with no idea about how to bring them up. Look at yourselves!

And thanks to the pathetically under-resourced and under-funded public education system in WA it just makes things harder. It's why I gave up on teaching - kids are out of control these days. Teachers are in constant paralysis trying to stop it cos they are scared about what they say or do thanks to fu**wit parents everywhere. Like the typical Today Tonight whiniging bogan parent looking to get the whole school implicated to justify why their child has turned into a little s**t.

Everyday teachers are forced to face whinging and moaning by irresponsible parents looking to hand off the blame on why they can't seem to raise their child correctly. Its pathetic. If your child is continually playing up at school and you're quick to blame the school and teacher - have a look at yourself and what your doing. At the end of the day the responsibility of bringing up a child correctly lies with the parent.

And in response to the above post which attempts to implicate 'most' primary school teachers as being bullies to children - you must be on another planet. 99.9% of teachers do whatever they can in the bounds of the resources available and legislation in place to discipline little s***heads correctly. Please don't ever have kids.

If your kid has apparently been bullied or hit by a teacher, there is a very high probability they deserve it, and it would as a result of the teacher going out of their mind trying to deal with them.

Whoever forgets a good teacher?
I don't envy teachers right now though. In the space of 10 years they have seen the very way in which they teach alter completely.
I went to school in the 80's and was taught very much in the manner of my parents. We had calculators instead if slide rules, but that was about it. No computers apart from a few old BBC computers that were glorified word processors.
These days every kid has a computer or a smart phone and the very nature of the manner of education has changed. This has only happened in the last ten years and I can understand how teachers can struggle to keep up with this. In a lot of ways, this generation of kids are guinea pigs for this new form of education and how teachers deal with the overload of information now at out finger tips.
There's also the Montessori and Steiner schools popping up as well.
Kids are a lot savvier these days too. I was a ****ing babe in the woods when I compare myself to some of the kids today.
I reckon educational theory is being pulled in all directions at the moment and nobody is really sure were it is heading.

Any teacher that has to resort to bullying or assault to control children shouldn't be teaching - simple as that.

In any job, if an employee was bullying/assaulting co-workers (or customers), then would not last too long in that job. Same should apply to teachers (as their students are effectively their customers).
