making children cry

What are peoples thoughts on teachers who scream at little children and make them cry because they did something wrong???

My 5 year old niece bit an 8 year old boy at school because he wouldn't stop pinching her, the principal yelled at the top of his lungs and upset her badly over this (the principal is about 7foot tall, Sharni is about 3foot tall) The boy was never punished for pinching her either.

is she ok? poor thing... wow i's so glad i homeschool... you must be one patient person not to go there and scream at that principal...that is no way to treat anyone smaller hey... teachers are under alot of stress but and believe me i know how frustrating a student can be at times but in their profession there is no excuse for making someone so lil that upset... they should know better. get a petition out to the parents to get that principal sacked... it does work... as students, we had a science teacher sacked in our highschool because he grabed a student by the throat and this comes under the same catagory, blatent abuse!

WOAH if it had've been my child gettin yelled at i probably would've shown the principal what screeching was all about lol.
Anyone who treats a child like that should be removed from society....if you get what i mean!
I would ring the department of education and lodge a complaint!

For starts no one has the right to scream or yell at anyone elses child.....the principal should have sat them both down and talk to them about what was wrong and right .....explaining in kids friendly terms.

where does this principal get off doing such a horrible thing.... She/he should have questioned both the children to why this incident happened and has it occurred before, then speak in a normal manner to tell them both that bullying is not acceptable in the school yard... If that was my daughter i would be requesting to speak to this principal, and have that person explain to me why was this not  sorted in a proper way... And what is a 8 year old doing around near a 5 year old in the playground,as at our school we have designated area for each grades , and 8 year olds are not near our 5 year old...

how disgusting i can't stand anyone who gets a power trip of upsetting a 5 year old just to make themselves feel superior, thats disgusting and i think maybe someone should yell at him and make him feel like a little ant just so he can get a dose of his own medicine!!! Brittxx

Hey Channy,

 I really think that any teacher who does this to a small child should not be teaching in a primary school. Yes it was wrong for her to bite but screaming at her was definately not the way to go about telling her. Poor little thing is she ok? As for the boy has he been reported to the school about his bullying younger children. Schools are meant to be so big on their bullying policies today but I don't see much evidence.

I would suggest going to the school and calmly discussing this with the principal to show this person that as adults things should be discussed calmy especially where a child is concerned. If you get no help there go to the department of education and tell them your concerns and as a last resort go to your member of parliment they can usually help.

gezzzzz ill try this again for some reason it didnt stay my comment

I think its not right and its just awuful that this bully got away with pinching her , hes 8 what a bully , he does need to be taught that u just cant do things like that , and for her to get yelled at thats just not on ( geezzzz i might of bitten him also at her age just so he stops doing it to me also ) , they should be teaching them skills as what to do if things like this happen to them and not to be pinching other children etc,,, , i would tell your sis to go talk to the teacher and the principal about this ,, they have no right to yell at her like that and for the pincher thats older than her to get away with it while she got yelled at ..

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!

 I went to the same school my nieces are in now, my grade prep/reception teacher yelled at me and told me to sit in the corner for finishing my work early and not listening to her instructions! She is now the deputy principal at the school.
I just don't understand why this new principal should yell at my niece, making things worse instead of sitting the two children down and explaining that it isn't right, and get them to apologise to eachother!!!  this boy is apparently a big trouble maker and he got away with the constant pinching scott free!
apparently he is supposed to be a high school principal too!

stand your ground and do something about it  or get her parents to do it .

children cannot b treated like that.

my son was bitten by another child not once but twice and when the girl was going to get away with it i told the principal that if that child was not punished i would remove my son out of the school and bring in the school board.

principals are suppose to be fare and non threatning .

i would aproach the principal and deman the other child be punished to or an apology be made by him to your niece even if she dont understand its good to see him be humiliated. tell him your not happy .

Hi, I personally don't think anyone but the child's parents have a right to yell at them. A principals job is to get a child to trust them not make them afraid. There are many ways of disciplining a child without having to resort to scare tactics. I personally would go down there and have a go at the principal over this because it's not a nice thing to do, especially to such a young child.
