Cologne - beating, torture, insult, bully, to sexual assault - violence in schools is a sad day. But not only among pupils.
Even more teachers long to strong, verbally and physically. Lawyer and educator Dr. Catrin Lange of the Association Hürther children in school grades (kischuno): "In almost 100 cases of severe violence, we teachers have had to intervene."
Peter has a nightmare in the classroom behind. As punishment for incorrect answers and unruly behavior of his teacher harassed him over a half years, let him do squats in front of the class, kicked him in the butt, grabbed him painfully unters collarbone. As she rubbed her face with a wet Tafelschwamm, he had to vomit.
Because he felt guilty, Peter was silent a long time. It was late, he confided in his mother Anja, who immediately raised the alarm.
"My whole file cabinet full of cases of teachers who push back down, to insult." And then the very bad cases. One teacher had a pupil hanging upside down from the window, another complained: "You are so incredibly stupid, why did not your mother aborted you."
Only recently, a teacher had been suspended because many primary school pupils had closed her mouth with tape.
Violence by teachers - the unreported cases is high. And even if the cases are known, they often remain without consequences: parents do not dare to intervene because they feared disadvantages for the child. And principals are silent out of fear for the reputation of their institution.
Not all teacher misconduct to happen out of pure malice and sadism knows Catrin Lange: "Teachers do these things mostly of helplessness. They frequently have to deal with disturbed children, and are not trained for that. "
Peter is following the intervention of a more social workers and even his teacher has been under control. Anya's mother is relieved to see the development: "While we have no peace, but cease-fire."
