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

[Gibs960]

I agree that teachers should shout at disrespectful children, but if they're shouting at an individual the pupil should be able to shout back. This is the reason I fell out with most teachers at my Primary, they couldn't take it when a child shouted back.

So you think teachers should shout at disrespectful children but these children should be allowed to shout back? Sure, you might want to argue back when you're in the right but surely a huge part of being disrespectful is not acknowledging your teachers are in control and you have to listen to them...

Yeah, if you were shouting at teachers then you're being disrespectful and you said teachers should shout at disrespectful children... so they should shout at you.

But I used to shout at them because every time you said "Listen to my side of the story, she/he is telling lies." They say "Don't answer back." So I got annoyed.

thats because it is answering back...
Regardless of whether the teacher is correct or not, you have to acknowledge his/her decision.

If a teacher is bothering you then you should tell your parents or the headteacher.

That doesn't make it OK. If you don't think you're being treated fair you should have a word with the teacher after or go through the right procedures to make a complaint.

only if they deserve it alot, it shouldn't be used all the time or else they will never be disiplined

They should shout if the whole class is talking and they've tried speaking and asking them to be quiet, and if a student is shouting at them, then yes...
