why don't you say

This crap gets handed down from generation to generation!

This was prevalent pre-Angolab and I am sure has intensified even more post-Angolab era.

Back in the 6th grade each bench sat 4 kids and Mr. Trud, a muscular-built man, used to strike the first kid on the bench causing the 4th kid get thrown out. I mean the SOB pushed while he struck. Lord knows how many kids lost their hearing ability and went deaf through this brutal abuse.

To this date, there are days when I want to push and strike one of the people in my team for disobeying me! God damn the teachers!

Amoozesh va Parvaresh, my sore butt!

5th grade Ta'limat Dini class, 1971, Mr. Aghvami cabeled my butt so hard that I wet my pants, which then brought on a couple of fiery slaps a few minutes later. Sent home early, I then encountered my father's wrath; dragged back to school to see what I had done wrong. Priceless!!

The same mentality existed in education during the Shah's regime

      I never forget my elementary school days . more than 5 decades ago . We had a school principal in Isfahan in a school named "Farabi". Mr. Arshadi was truly the most brutal , the most hateful and the most ruthless man I have ever witnessed in my entire life !!! He prided himself as a strict disciplinarian

     He used to slap the children daily, beat them with fist ,  kick them as forcefully as he could , strike them in the face and whip their hands with thin branches of trees . Verbal insult was just the norm ! This was his daily ritual , from early in the morning till time of departure.

      This fashion of "Education" was in place way before the Islamic republic . This is because of the ignorance of the Iranian eduacators in Iran . The only student  who never ereceived  his violent corporal punishment was his own child who was in the same school.

      I never forget the abuse he inflicted on innocent children  and as long as I am alive , I am repulsed and appalled by the awful memory of this evil incarnate !!  

Nothing new

I remember all this crap when I was going to school in Iran, some 25+ years ago, getting punched, kicked, slapped, and insulted was regular form of punishment at schools by teachers. Nothing has changed since then, we have a very long way to go for it to change.

This isn't so much Islam at play

I think that this is the result of an old fashioned mentality.  In the US, paddling was the norm for a long time.  Physical punishment  in American schools only stopped around 40 years ago, right?  I'm not saying that this excuses iranian abusive teachers.  It just doesn't have much to do with islam.

Even before the revolution

I remember beng hit by teachers, this is not especially about Islam. Though it probably is worse now. What are the laws about punishing children at school, does anyone know?

Not surprising

Even in the US Iranian teachers behave like this (at Iranian-run private schools).

A barbaric Regime + Barbaric Schools

with abusive teachers.
