This should not be allowed. I, as a teacher in the U.S., can see a place for corporal punishment, but there are limits and strict protocols--and NEVER can a student be "hit" or "kicked". Never!
Let me suggest this: Your best weapon is documentation. Begin compiling lists of these offenses--be sure to record dates, places, time of day, and the names of those involved. Be sure to get witnesses. After you have a thorough list, get it notarized. Speak with your parents about this, and ask their advice. If you need to go further, find an attorney, present them with the list, and ask their advice. Depending upon what they say, you can then go to the police, or something like a "public prosecutor's office" in with your notarized list.
This is who needs to help you. Two important things you need to know. First, this will cause a large public scene--be ready for this. Second, be sure to have all of the documentation in order, and be sure that everyone is willing to speak up in public about these abuses. I don't believe there will be a "quiet" way of dealing with this.
Very best of luck
Since it's legal where you are and the public is not outraged, the only way I see to stop it is to have a checklist through which you avoid making any of the mistakes that get students hit, and help others students do the same, even if they're not your friends.
It's a shame that much of the world has not yet discovered that positive reinforcement--praise when you do well, no more than disappointment and encouragement to try again when you fail--works substantially better than negative reinforcement.
You should get a group of students together and all go to the police, try to gather some evidence as well. they have no right to treat you that way.
I don't agree with Maryn. There is NO WAY that hitting students can be legal in your country.
Are we living in barbaric times?
I think this is a very serious issue. Even I studied in a CBSE school & there too teachers had the same way of punishing students.
But I thought that this was long over & now teachers are fobidden to hit student.
You said:
"I don't want to go to the police because I haven't taken any hard hit recently."
Does this imply that you have been hit hard earlier?
If you have, didn't your parents say anything regarding this?
Haven't you spoken to your parents? Please speak to them about this.
& maybe you can get your friends to talk to their parents too. So that the gaurdians can have a word with the teachers, rather than the students speaking to the teachers about this & getting beat up again.
Please take care of yourself in the mean while. Don't forget to wear your belt or tie & do your homework on time till your teachers learn to behave.
All the best & hope you will be alright.
