Do you think it's right for teachers to shout at pupils

[Narnat,]

So do you ? Think it's okay for teachers to shout at pupils ?

I personally don't think it's right. Especially when it's like younger years and I also think it's rude especially if you arn't shouting at them. whats your views ?

If some teachers did not shout the simple fact of the matter is that a lot of lessons would be in disarray. Often with younger people it is necessary to raise your voice to get the message across, it's unlikely anyone's going to listen if you try and sit down and have a nice chat with them about not swearing. In some cases it is totally necessary. In fact I say bring back the cane.

I agree (apart from the last part because I am against things like that). The reason teachers shout is to put the message across because previously so and so is unable to realise that blah blah blah is inappropiate. I also think that it's more towards the younger children that you have to raise your voice as in all due respect, refuse to listen. If there was nothing wrong, the teacher wouldn't have to shout- and I'm sure that would save them a voice!

I think it is right.

I actually agree with Gary-on (has to be done) here. The cane would stop kids messing about.

Rude little boy.

EDIT: Actually if you mean just shouting at you, not the whole class then I agree with you.

I think it's right sometimes, depends on the situation really like my maths teacher shout all the time, even when she's just explaining something to the class, it's like your constantly being told off..
I don't think it's right to shout at young children especially if they don't know any better.

I think if the class is really wild they should shout, or if the student is answering back or not listening.
But sometimes when they've just yelled at someone and then someone does the tiniest thing wrong they shout at them, without telling them calmly first.

Do you think it's alright when cocky students argue with teachers?

I absolutely think its right. I remember this girl in my form last year, had serious attitude problems - was a horrible person. Came in one day late and made sarky comments when was called out on this by our form tutor who is a decent chap. He told her to stand outside so she went out in the typical tantrumy manner - so he went out and shouted at her for about 10 minutes. She came back a lot quieter

I think people need to be shaken up and given a pretty firm messages as I'm sure all of you will know people who just don't get it. Plus I imagine there is some primal instinct in that he who shouts loudest is the alpha and carries the authority.

I've been shouted at and I still agree, because I deserved it and it sure as hell made me not do it again!
