Reminds me of Arshadi the pricncipal of Farabi school
by jasonrobardas on Tue Dec 20, 2011 02:10 AM PSTin Esfahan, dring the shah's days....He was as brutal and vile as this fellow. Dictatorships of governments( then and now) and dictatorships within our school systems go hand in hand .....

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."
In what way did your father yield his personal business (retaliation for physical abuse of his son) to the collective interest of proceeding with a legally sanctioned response.
Also, what does "my own vicious cycle of violence" mean? Did your father keep coming to the school and beating the naazem, causing him to beat you more?
ski-ab-ali aziz,
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Dec 19, 2011 03:23 PM PSTNo, far from it. My dad was actually a "karmand dolat", but a strong, fit man. This all happened just as the revolution was picking up and I was in my first year at school. So my father was taking advantage of the revolutionary situation to punish the school's sadistic Dictator, who liked beating kids of 6,7, 8. Funny enough the Naazem later grow rish o pashm, stopped drinking alcohal and joined the local committee, and would try to create problems for our family, but that is another story...

Corporal punishment in schools was also done in Shah's Era
by Hooshang Tarreh-Gol on Mon Dec 19, 2011 02:38 PM PSTIn my first year of Highschool ( Dabirestan) in Iran, we had an incredibly petulant, violent teacher, I'll never forget Aghay Damavandi, a science teacher. He once beat up a kid really bad, (only because he made a childish joke). He took the poor kid out of the classroom, into the school yard, kicking and punching him around...
The poor kid waited untill the end of the year, when his older family members taught Mr. Damavandi a good lesson on picking on someone his own size. Reportedly Mr. Damabvandi was beaten up so bad, that after spending a few days in hospital, he changed his school.
Not sure if any one remembers students' revenges or not. But many abusive teachers ,if they had a car would get their tires slashed, or suger in the gas tank, or... My own father as a kid had such an espisode. His (rather liquid) reaction, ended up sending him from Kermanshah to Tehran.
Untill such barbaric abuses of students are abolished, the way to combat it seem s to be: getting even. Don't get mad, get even! Even Steven!
Nothing new
by choghok on Mon Dec 19, 2011 01:35 PM PSTI have heard of many that parents many times asked teachers to beat their kids so they would grow up nice.
I think it is very good that people do send these clips online, I hope more and more would do this and that people in general record all abuses in the country.
Notice Khomaini’s picture looking down
by kazem0574 on Mon Dec 19, 2011 01:19 PM PSTNot sure if the kids upstairs intentionally kept Khomeini’s picture in the frame!
In any case, its so symbolic of the legacy Khomeini left behind. Those in position of power and authority in IRI beating up the weak.
Also dorood bar any parent who confronts corporal punishment of this nature.
Mr. Gilani
by Ski-Ab-Ali on Mon Dec 19, 2011 01:11 PM PSTI loved your comment, was your dad an “Arteshi”? Usually that scenario would happen if the kid was a son of arteshi. Either way, my hats off to your beloved dad.
My own vicious cycle of violence with School Nazem...
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Dec 19, 2011 12:42 PM PSTEnded immediately after my Father visited him at school assembly one saturday morning, and gave him a good taste of his own medicine, applied using my dad's fists and nazem's own anar stick, under the watchful eyes of my uncles, just in case Farash or modir decided to intervene, with hundreds of other delighted, cheering school kids watching the show.....
That remains to this day the most joyous and educational day of my entire life.....

Vicious cycle
by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Dec 19, 2011 12:28 PM PSTPhysical punishment, which has been taking place in Iranian homes and schools for ages, only perpetuates how people are treated in society by themselves and by the government. And when you have a government that relishes violence, it makes matters much worse. It's a vicious cycle.
