Question:
He says: I work as a student counselor in a middle school, and the regulations prohibit hitting. I work as a student counselor in a middle school, and the regulations issued by the responsible authorities prohibit hitting in schools. Hitting. Hitting, yes. And by virtue of my job, I find that some students are turned against more than once. A case is brought against some teachers for being consulted about, or for being careless with, a teacher and hitting him over the most trivial matters. So what is the ruling on that? And does my hitting students with the intention of reform, even though the ministry’s regulations prohibit it, make me sinful for that?
Answer:
Do not hit, as long as you are prohibited from hitting, do not hit, because this will bring upon you harm from people, as long as you have violated the system. People will look for ways to get at you and look for your mistakes, so do not open a door for yourself. As long as you are prohibited from hitting, do not hit. But if you see a defect in one of the students, you should reprimand him and advise him. And if he repeats it a second time, you threaten him with expulsion, with expulsion and dismissal from the school. If he persists and does not stop, you refer his case to the officials who are at the level of responsibility for the schools and what happens in them.
