The teacher of a school of in Hoegaarden (Flemish Brabant) mistreated a student in one of his classes. His shocking mistreatment of the student was filmed by a unanimous witness using a cell phone. The facts date to November of last year. Althought the school is aware of the incident, they allowed the teacher to continue teacher.
The teacher dragged the student across the floor during one of his practical lessons. He thrust his head in a bucket of mortar and also held him under a tap. The shocking images were captured by mobile phone video.

This is not the first time that this teacher has gone crazy with a student and it is apparently not an isolated incident.

"The school reacted too late"
The incident happened in November 2008 and the management found out about it on the 27th of March 2009. On the same day the management immediately notified the school authorities and wrote a letter to the teacher.

Despite the incriminating facts, the teacher was allowed to continue teaching at the school. Now that the whole incident has come to light the man faces charges of child abuse. He appeared before an inspection team today.

According to Flemish Minister of Education Frank Vandenbroucke (Flemish socialist) the school reacted far too late to the situation. "How is it possible, if this story is correct, that such an incident can be kept quiet for so long?"

It is obvious to Mr Vandenbroucke that there is a problem with the management of the school. He has given the department of school inspection the task of investigating the disturbing incident.

The parents and students of the school are shocked by the news. Some of the students went on a protest strike today

That school is a BUSO school wich is for the mentally challenged.

they fail to mention that the kidd who filmed this was to be expelled annyway, his parents tried to blackmail the principal into not expelling him with this footage, when she refused they went public

pretty horrible situation

Wow, that's quite shocking.

So is the kid being expelled because he had his phone out and did nothing to help the situation?

No, the expulsion was likely unrelated and was simply the reason for the release of the video.
 
Jesus what a bunch of cry babies. We had three teachers like that. I remember almost the same thing happened to a friend of me. He got dragged trough the corridor by his hair and finaly got his head smacked in the wall sevreal times.

That just happened once tough, usually they just hit us and ****. Nothing we didn't deserve.

(edit)

Oh, we weren't mentally challenged... Not that mentally challenged atleast!
 
Jesus Christ. :shock: What the hell kind of teacher does that ****? He should be kicked in several sensitive places and fired, oh so fired.

Odd article though, it seems filled with mistakes. Especially the first part;

Oh, yeah, because anyone deserves having their head thrust into a bucket of mortar. Kid must have been pissing himself with fear. Seriously, **** you. And your teachers, if they bash heads against walls, should have been fired as well. You might not be Korean, but you sure as peas are an idiot.

 
It was salted with a little bit of joking you know? (The what a bunch of cry babies thing)

I don't support that the teacher use violence like that, well not smacking heads and stuff. The slaps in the face I've gotten av all been well deserved. But the problem is, atleast where I lived, that if they fired the teacher, they wouldn't have anyone to teach that class anymore, because theres a major lack of teachers. So the schools woulnd't fire the teachers no matter what they did.
 
You don't know the whole story, the kid could have been really annoying, a real pain in the arse that the teacher had to live with for months. He could be disruptive and ill behaved. We are not told what provoked the incident.
 
I dunno, I use to have someone with learning difficulties(or just the must stupid human ever to have walked(and I say walked in the broadest sense) this earth) in my class (S1 and S2) and I wouldn't mind seeing him dashed against some walls.
 
Yes, but that only means your not fit for working as a teacher on a class for mentally challenged people. Just like this teacher here.
 
That can be argued, even tough someone might in your eyes deserve to get smacked, doesn't that mean it's the best way to solve the problem. A mentally challenged person won't stop being mentally challenged if you smack his head with a mortar and try to drown him under the sink.

But I have to admit, all the dicipline I have ever gotten have all been well deserved and I don't for a second blame the people who have diciplined me. But if it made me a better person, meh who knows?
 
So you're suggesting that violence is the new wonde cure for mental disorders? (or whatever the **** it is you english people call it)

Not really, some people deserve to be 'disciplined' the hard way.

The actions described in that article don't sound like discipline to me, the teacher sounds like a thug. Doing that to someone won't help them, or have a good effect on the rest of the students. It's likely to set a very bad example, particularly when mentally challenged kids see a mentally fit grown man, who they probably regard as an example of how adults are supposed to behave, acting with brutish violence. I don't doubt that some of the kids are bad people, but reacting in such a way as that teacher did just shows his own flaws as a person.
