El-Shaar allegedly told prosecutors: "Beating and corporal punishment are the best means for disciplining children especially after the January 25 revolt."

Hmmmm, I'm on the fence with this one. Sure, no child should be ABUSED by a teacher, but some kids need to cop a decent paddle on the arse.
I remember when I was in kindergarten (back in 1986), and I had done something wrong. I had put my sports shoes on at lunchtime, when I had been told not to. Not only that, I roped another kid into getting them out of the classroom for me. End up getting sent to the principal, who was also the Year 6 teacher, where I admitted what I had done wrong, and even stood up to the Principal when she asked if I thought I deserved the paddle. Her students had been laughing at my answers, so when she asked me, I replied with "No, but I reckon this lot deserves it!"
The Principal was actually suprised that I gave her an honest, upfront answer like that, and she smiled and said "You know what Jarrad, you're right. You have been honest the whole time, and my students HAVE been rude when you have been answering me, so you are right on both counts. Maybe I should paddle the lot of them." In the end, I didn't cop the paddle.
Move forward a couple of months, and I had done something wrong, and whatever it was, I DID deserve punishment. Was again sent to the Principal, and VP, and was told I was going to get 5 hits of the cane over each hand. I put both hands out, and copped 5 on each hand. The suprising thing for me was I didn't cry, and that I thought it would have been worse, pain wise. Found out when I started getting tattooed it's because I have such a high pain tolerance. The principal and VP were actually suprised that I didn't cry, and walked me back to my room and told my teacher "Jarrad has gotten his punishment, and he took it like a man and didn't even cry. He knew he was wrong, and he took it like a man." All the other kids thought I was some kind of freak because I didn't cry.
Also coppeed the paddle a year or 2 later, and I can tell you now, whatever I did wrong, I never did it again. But to be honest, the reason I played up was because I was honestly bored in class, because I found the work so easy. I'm not sure whether it was because I was smarter than most, or because I just found it naturally easy, but I would easily get bored with the work BECAUSE I found it so easy, and I would play up. Sometimes smart kids play up because they are smarter than average, and get bored with the work that is being done. And to be honest, teachers need to realise this and maybe give the child harder work to do, or give them work that interests them, and they wouldn't play up.
In the end, some kids do need corporal punishment, because they lack discipline, whilst others are just playing up because they are bored with the work...........

Children need a beating every now and then.
Maybe the kids were failing in class or something, idk, but it didn't look bad at all to me.

But children beaten, humiliated and terrified will NOT learn, except to hate authority and lie and cheat in order to avoid punishment. No child in a school should ever be abused, EVER! It should be a place of safety and a refuge so the child can learn. Those poor little children...he especially tormented the tiny girls - he enjoyed their terror as did the camera person. Degenerate! He needs to be arrested.

Big problem when students used to be 'paddled' or beaten in school (before it became illegal), that the ONLY children who got thrown around, beaten and berated were NOT the children from moneyed families...it was a class divide! The poor children got corporal punishment while the rich children did not -- the teachers looked away and tried to make a joke of it.
Children should never be touched in school. It destroys trust and faith in the teacher: school should not be a boot camp or a concentration camp. Children that little can actually be frightened to death by these actions. It inculcates feelings of terror, shame, embarrassment and makes children never want to step foot in school again. That bully in Egypt in the video and all those adults laughing at the child's discomfort are simply degenerates. They relish the fear they inculcate in the tiny students; is this the beginning of training a society to accept a tyrant for a leader? What a NAZI!
I work with children as a teacher every day. I used to work with juvenile delinquents from jail. Everyone of the troubled boys had been beaten up, abused and worse, and learned not to trust adults. Beating children can destroy them and does not inculcate a sense of dignity and self confidence in them; it makes them mean and frightened and vengeful. It took them a long time to learn to trust an adult; and I learned that if I made a promise I had to ALWAYS keep it, no matter what. They needed to trust before they could learn in class.
I'm sure you meant this as a joke (I sure hope so); but this is not funny. If you got beaten as a child, I am sorry for you. There are far more effective methods of discipline than beating a child and terrorizing it. And I speak as one who went to schools that beat kids....it set me back.

No teacher should be allowed to hit a child...for whatever reason...!!!!!!
Restrain a child? yes..if they are going to harm themselves or others..reasonable restraint is different.
