Birdy I started school in '72 in Dublin and we were regularly disaplined with a wooden ruler. Normally across the knuckles by the teacher in class or for a more serious offence you were sent to the principle (head nun) for the cane. I can't imagine anyone treating my kids this way...I'd havta be dug outta them...

Not quite sure when that all stopped, I don't remember anything like it in secondary school (1980's)

But OMG, thrown out a window...Poor kid...Psycho bastard..
Lulu Reviewed by Lulu on . Teacher tosses 11-yr old from window... hi all, I came across a rather strange story of events. Chinese history teacher Li Hengyi is accused of killing a student, Ms. Zhang Yaoyi, as stunned classmates watched in shocked amazement. The young victim was an 11-year-old female student at the No. 12 Middle School in the Chinese city of Yongzhou. Witnesses stated that, "He knocked her head against the desks back and forth and stomped on her after she fell (and) then produced a steel bar to beat her." Rating: 5
