Teacher let off hook for brutal mug incident
Play
The case in which a 58-year-old physical education teacher in Chok Chai district threw a coffee mug at a group of students who were attending his class, which hit one student in the head and caused her face to be disfigured, shows Thai teachers are brutal
Had this teacher been one of us normal citizens, he would have been handcuffed and thrown into police custody pending further investigation into the incident. Thus, there are double standards in the enforcement of the laws in this country. But the worst part is that despite the teacher’s superiors vowing to bring justice and fairness to all parties, it often turns out to be the students who have been mistreated without any salvation.
