Helmut Buchacher, club president of the SPÖ Innsbruck, got the ball rolling with a request to the education department: in the “Krone” interview, he explained the background.
“I have lived through the times when teachers used violence against students. Sleeping, hitting, punishment were part of everyday school life and were practiced by a minority of teachers – and were covered by the school system,” recalls SPÖ-GR Helmut Buchacher.
Violence reversed
“Meanwhile, the school system has developed in the opposite direction. A minority of students use physical and psychological violence against classmates and sometimes teachers inside and outside the school.”
helplessness of the school authorities
In the case of the high school in Innsbruck, where a student was allegedly beaten up, “the helplessness of the school authorities and politicians is apparent”. That reminds him of the past: “You don’t want to see it, you don’t feel responsible, you are not responsible, victims become perpetrators or you hit the right club when it comes to immigrants”, Buchacher analyzes .
Accusation instead of right club
“As a sincere social democrat, I do not allow myself to be suspected of this, I reject any form of violence in and around schools, I point out whoever practices it. Rather, I blame the responsible politicians, who do not see these negative developments, this potential for aggression and not recognize a need for action.
