    Do you think, may I suggest....

    You are taking this a little bit too seriously?

    The OP has posted something for discussion on a discussion website.

    Not punched a kitten or stomped on a toad.

    I fail to see anything wrong, if the kids had been misbehaving they got a telling off, they were then told to be silent and weren't.

    There's nothing sensationalist here, no swearing, no physical violence, just a bit of basic discipline which lacks in some homes today.

    Ask yourself how you would feel if you were that teacher and came across this thread

    Oh my what a charmer you are!!!

    I envy you your ability to have a reasoned, intelligent debate. Your debating skills are quite obviously far superior to mine. If you are in doubt (or unable to construct a clever answer) you result to insults. Well done you!

    The worst thing about this let alone the youtube for a second even advertising the place of work. So nasty. So cruel. I really don't know how you function and I do not want to know.

    Kippeh is just as worse as the uploader regardless of how huge the audience is.

    Did you say you were a teacher? English as a foreign language?


    As for the ranty teacher - he would've been one of the quieter ones in some schools I've been in. It can't be easy being the 'pretend' teacher. ;-)

    Or he was pushed to the limits and is now being judged by people who aren't teachers acting all mean girls.

    What has that got to do with anything? Nope not a teacher for your information.

    Not sure what to make of this. I know kids need discipline but screaming at them like this isn't the way to do it. What he was doing was basically bullying the students. In my school there was one student who caused a lot of trouble in class and teachers used to shout at her but she was in the minority in my school. Most of the students (including me) were well-behaved.

    The poster of the Youtube video comes across as a trouble maker, they have gone, to the school, gone to the education authority and have now taken to posting secret recordings on Youtube and posting links all over popular forums.

    It isn't anything other than a teacher having a bad day and shouting at naughty students. The OP is now going to potentially ruin the man's career and try to publicly embarrass him in front of the school, peers, friends and relatives. We don't know the context of the recording and who are we to judge, no wonder it has so many dislikes on Youtube.

    Dreadful behaviour by the OP and no wonder it has so many dislikes on Youtube.

    Thank you. This. I agree with you.

    But it isn't just about this one instance, if we are to believe the person who uploaded the clip, it is an ongoing issue throughout the school. If nothing's being done about it, what should their course of action have been? You can bet the issue will be looked at one way or another now.

    Nah and TBH you are just baiting him/her - your second post (14) says it all.



    Btw have you left a comment criticising the uploader at youtube?



    (that goes to any having a go at the OP)

    If they had any worse recordings they would no doubt have posted them. He has raised his voice and told the kids off for running into the school and screaming and shouting when others lessons are still going on. He went a bit over the top that's all, nothing a talk with the head wouldn't have sorted out, however the poster has taken to posting it all on the internet which is shameful.

    Part of the problem these days is that kids don't have any discipline or respect for the other kids classrooms who were studying. Sometimes a stern talking to can be a good thing. I really don't see the need to post it up on forums, Youtube and to up a stink here there and everywhere, especially if the poster can't even spell properly or write the Youtube graphics correctly.

    Doesn't sound particularly bullying to me. He wasn't picking on them for silly reasons - they obviously have a rule which the pupils chose to ignore. I suspect that rule is there to stop things being stolen from the changing room and (from the sounds of it) to stop them disturbing lessons as they pile back through the school corridors.
    "god I sound like a jumped up prick who can't handle some kids without losing the plot in ridiculous fashion; maybe I'm not cut out for this job" something like that?

    I don't think he sounded like he particularly lost it. He sounded angry but for a clear reason. You do tend to find that PE teachers have a far 'shoutier' style than many others because they spend so much time outside on fields having to shout to be heard. I personally don't think shouting is necessary and I don't think it gets you particularly far with a class. Nor do I think that every person who shouts should be sacked or leave the job.

    I am not baiting anyone. My second post highlights that this seems to be a regular occurring pattern with the op.

    I have not signed up with youtube therefore no.

    That was just another day in my school, children behave badly, much more now than when I was in school and what can be done about it? - very little. The children were told and didn't listen so the teacher shouts, boo hoo the little darlings are damaged for life, real life is far worse, get over it, perhaps more of the 'old school' attitude and we'd have better educated and all round citizens coming out of schools instead of the many precious self engrossed little princes and princesess who are so aware of their rights but have no clues about their obligations.

    That doesn't rule out there being a bigger problem though, just because no more recordings have been offered.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think shouting is a very effective way of instilling discipline, as evidenced by the amount of casual talking going on after the children had been warned not to talk (*sniggers can be heard from the back of the DS classroom*), but it is sometimes necessary to gain control.

    Or do some members honestly believe teacher's can't raise their voice now?

    It also doesn't mean there are.

    It seems all that we have to go on is the word of somebody that posts this kind of stuff on Youtube with basic spelling errors on the main video titles. That is hardly somebody that should be telling the school and the education authority how to do their jobs.

    His ridiculous over dramatic screaming and the shitheel tactic of singling out one pupil to be his grass or face the consequences.

    To quote you:

    " I noticed kippeh does this a lot. She revels in other people's misfortunes and humiliation"

    I've checked his/her thread history and there's no evidence to back that claim of yours so baiting it is IMO.

    Well if that was me and was as outraged as you're trying to put across here I'd sign up immediately to have a go at the uploader.
