Teach children, don't torment them

Teachers must never resort to physical, verbal, psychological or emotional abuse to discipline their students.

It began with one student, Rey Raman, who witnessed her teacher slapping a young student hard on her face in a fit of rage because the young girl spoke up to explain a “mistake” she’d made during class.

Deeply disturbed by what she saw, Rey wrote about the incident on her Facebook page to call the teacher out (she didn’t name him or the art school, for fear of reprisal) and also to urge others who may have experienced such bullying and abuse to speak up too.
