PUPIL CARE, PUPIL CONTROL AND THE QUEBEC TEACHER
Abstract
In their relations with students, teachers possess both legal rights and responsibilities. Written and unwritten law has determined that teachers have an obligation to protect those under their care from harm or injury. It has also established that teachers may inflict punishment upon misbehaving students, providing that such correction is reasonable under the circumstances. RÉSUMÉ Dans le cadre des relations qu'ils entretiennent avec les étudiants, les enseignants sont investis de droits et de responsabilités juridiques. La loi, écrite et tacite, stipule que les enseignants ont pour obligation de protéger de tout préjudice ou blessure les étudiants placés sous leur responsabilité. La loi prescrit également que les enseignants peuvent punir les étudiants qui se conduisent mal pourvu que les mesures punitives adoptées soient raisonnables, compte tenu des circonstances.Downloads
