Torah U'Mesorah has very strong guidelines for Rebbe/teacher behavior and interaction with students. Every teacher is notified of these rules at the beginning of the year. <br />In our Yeshiva, if a teacher YELLS too much during class, the teacher is spoken with. If he touches the boy, he's OUT.<br />Abuse, should NOT be tolerated in any shape or form. <br />To even keep the teacher on for the rest of the year, is criminal. <br />You should have the strength to do what is in your children's best interest, whether it's popular of not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-61024479297493043772010-09-08T01:03:43.862-04:002010-09-08T01:03:43.862-04:00This is chilling...

It has NO place in a school or anywhere for that matter and if enough people got in trouble for it others would stop. At the yeshiva high school where I live there is a terrible abuse of alcohol both by teachers and students. If a teacher of a public school was caught drinking with a bunch of students who were minors he would be thrown in jail immediately, no questions asked. Why should "religious" schools have immunity to laws and morals?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849399169853319472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-47482713255886673362010-08-26T15:01:26.401-04:002010-08-26T15:01:26.401-04:00G6...

My rebbe beat the crap out of a kid after pulling his pants down in front of the room. I was 8 at the time, will never forget it. Here's another doozie, I'm not making it up. A kid made in his pants, the rebbe found the "culprit". Punishment? He put the kid in the garbage can, put the can in the closet, and had the kid stay in there for the rest of the day.

That must've been awful, knowing that a Rebbe had done all that, someone who should be imparting values to his impressionable charges, values like honesty and self-control. It's not all about the number of mishnayos they learn, or whatever it is that they learn in second grade. <br /><br />You weren't meek, even then. You went in to the principal and spoke up for your son. What else could you have done? <br /><br />You are such a good mother...every one of your posts screams that.

Unfortunately, the next year another boy fell victim.<br />I once again marched into the menahel's office.<br />The Rebbe was fired.<br />Corporal Punishement is <b>abuse</b> and abuse is NOT OK.G6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932781801654313054noreply@blogger.com
