Kosz na głowie nauczyciela, czyli filmowanie przemocy w szkole
The Waste-Basket on The Teacher’s Head or Violence Filming in the School

Summary/Abstract: Child and adolescent aggression is becoming increasingly common in the Polish schools. The Author discusses an event which recently shocked the Polish public opinion (the so-called Toruń case) in order to demonstrate that we are dealing with a significant and dangerous role-reversal in the aggressor–victim relationship. Media in the past usually focused on student abuse by teachers' overstepping the bounds of their authority; recently, however, media reports have even started referring to „child terrorism”. This type of discourse is inspired, among other things, by the increasingly frequent filming of the acts of violence, so that the teacher is humiliated not only by the actual physical abuse, but also by his ordeal made public.
