Bullied teachers 'helpless'

[schumi]

Cape Town - A teacher at a primary school in Mitchells Plain has recounted a horrifying daily ordeal at the hands of pupils, with seemingly no intervention by the school authorities.

Khunjulwa Mfunyelwa, who teaches at Woodlands Primary School, said a pupil had smashed her in the face with a packet of samp (white mielies) during a class experiment.

"I have been here for four months, but it feels like a year. It was on May 10 that the incident happened. I reported the pupil and she was suspended. The following day she came back to school, and she has been here ever since.

"No parent came, and she is still misbehaving. The level of bullying is too high. The children are violent, and serious intervention is needed to examine the root cause of their behaviour.

"We are also parents, we are worried about them and we wish the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) can work with social workers."

Mfunyelwa said other teachers who had been there for longer than her felt helpless, but were too scared to speak out. Others had left the school.

"A subject adviser for the senior phase came to school last term and told us she had not seen such rudeness or behaviour in any other school. She said she doubted if the children would pass with good grades.

"At the moment another teacher is in trouble because a child lied and said she called them baboons in class. I was there; I know the child is lying. When children swear at us and threaten us nothing happens, but when a teacher is accused of saying something then serious action is taken. We are not valued, and the department is failing us."

I'm sure a religious ethos will sort it out.

Lol I would suggest starting with something as simple as proper parenting and if the parents don't discipline the kids the school should, but bleeding hart SJWs would cry their eyes out if someone attempts to fix the problem.

I was in class with some of these types of bastards and they got their asses beat. But that still didn't deter some of them from continuing their behavior.

It does start at home. The parents of these monsters are probably hooligans too.

I am conflicted though... I am generally not in favour of corporal punishment in schools, but somebody like the samp thrower needs to get a few PKs!
