Can you ever punch a teacher?

That's a good question. It's interesting to think how far teacher's could go with insults to students. I remember one teacher at secondary school used to insult us a lot and threw stuff at us. althought it was 'just a joke'. Anyway he recently got fired for telling a child to put their hand over a bunsen burner whilst he had a flammable chemical on his hand.

I'm currently training to be a primary school teacher and there is so much we have to learn about child protection and things. Haven't learnt much about behavior yet though.

Unless the teacher is physically attacking you in an illegal way, no way. You can NOT strike a person simply for something they SAY to you. Because otherwise, here's what would probably happen: The teacher could sue you and your parents. And most likely he/she would win. If you're a minor, it'll last a few years on your record, and if you're 18 or over, it is assault. Assault is a felony. And a felony is on your record FOREVER.

This thread died more than two years ago. Did you really need to resurrect it for something that has probably been said before?

Can you? Yes.
Should you? No, for two reasons.
First of all, because the teacher can easily get you expelled for that, and second, because if the teacher legitimately earns it, you can report them and maybe even get them fired. And if that's not enough for you, you can punch them with much less repercussion once they have no authority. Thought out revenge is always much better that blunt heat of the moment retaliation.

lol I love it. After all these years and people still think that teachers are out to torture their students. For every teacher who deserves to be punched there are 10000000 students who equally deserve punishment.

There were a number of teachers I'd love to of punched when I was in school.

I'd never punch someone for no reason though, the only time I would of physically assaulted a teacher is if they for some strange reason hit me first, or they tried to sexually assault me or similar.
