It’s almost always about
the child.
Features 8
What if one day his child went
home with bruises and you were
the one in-charge, how would you
explain yourself? How would you
explain that you had nothing to do
with what happened to his child?
What if their family is influential
and you’re “just a teacher.” How
would you protect yourself?
What if you were caught on video
tearing down notebooks (which
you were actually trying to
recycle) as if destroying your
student’s property? How would
you tell them the truth?
What if a student hugged you and
someone took a picture of it? How
would you explain that you was
actually shocked of what
happened?
What if you were just trying to tap
your student’s back but you didn’t
know he was sensitive? How
would you say that you didn’t
mean to hurt him?
What if your student pointed a
knife at you, trying to kill you? How
would you defend yourself?
Though it is still viewed that the
child protection policy is aimed
towards protecting the child from
abuse, as long as the process of the
law is still questionable, you are
always in danger.
Be very careful, we are bound to
make almost no mistakes.
The law would always favor the
innocence of children. If they have
a seemingly “strong” evidence you
have very little chance of winning
against them, even if you’re the
innocent one. The passing of the
teacher protection policy is still
close to impossible and with the
existence of the child protection
policy you are placed at a
disadvantaged position against a
child.
