School Headmaster Fired after Video of Him Foot Whipping Students Goes Viral
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A video of a school headmaster assaulting students at a school in southern Lebanon went viral on the internet on Tuesday.
The video showed the principal, M. D., brutally foot whipping one terrified student after another, while they cried and begged him to stop.
The school, which belongs to the al-Maqassed Philanthropic Islamic Association, is located in the Sarafand town in southern Lebanon.
Following the incident, Education Minister Elias Abou Saab revealed to LBCI television that the school decided to close on Wednesday, in condemnation of the attack on students.
"A decision has also been taken to expel the principal,” he added.
In October 2013, a teacher in the northern city of Tripoli asked students to beat up a classmate in a brutal way with the aim of “disciplining” him.

I have a better idea I think the students in this class should all beat him one after the other until he himself cries or collapse knowing the pain he has inflicted on these poor innocent kids. Then he goes to jail where I hope he will rot there

being fired is a very mild punishment. Watch him being hired by another school with his wasta

if its my kids i'll thank the teacher
he is not "beating of control"
he is disciplining them coz of you here what he say to them, seems they were being "cool" yseb/yesob" swear & cuss & its a physical "controlled acceptable discipline.
its hard to have physical punishment, but sometimes its needed to certain extant.

25-30 years ago it was almost acceptable to spank students at school, yet we would not accept for long. I have witnessed very hard reactions from parents at that time. So i cannot see how it could have the hint of tolerance in todays systems. Yet this can be an ever debated topic. But for us at home, we would never use violence with our kids, and accordingly would never tolerate anyone to use violence on them. we have chosen a more constructive approach with our kids, and it is working. After all, we all know that as grown ups, their are better ways to get what we want than with violence. thats my opinion

First, out of respect to those minors, the video should not be posted. This is an invasion of privacy. Second, in a civilized society, this teacher should not be beaten or tortured, he should face justice. He should be arrested and prosecuted and not just fired by the school.
