A SD42 secondary school teacher has received a three day suspension after an incident in 2021 when he hit a student in the abdomen.

According to a report released Tuesday, Oct. 31, by the British Columbia Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, Randy Peter Faresin was volunteering his time on May 27, 2021, in a metal class, during a Welding Certification Bureau examination for the British Colubia Institute of Technology Metal Fabrication program.

One of the Grade 12 students had a grinder at their workstation that did not have the protective guard on it, so the sharp blade was exposed. Even though the grinder was not in operation, it was not clear if it was plugged in or not. When Faresin learned whose grinder it was he approached the student and 91裸聊视频渕ade physical contact with the student91裸聊视频檚 abdomen with his hand.91裸聊视频�

The report says that Faresin then lectured the student loudly on the risks of leaving the grinder91裸聊视频檚 blade exposed and went on to tell the student that his contact with the student91裸聊视频檚 stomach was nothing compared to what could have happened if the student had been injured by the blade.

Following the incident the school district issued a discipline letter to Faresin on Dec. 15, 2021, suspending him for five days without pay, which he served immediately. The district also made him attend a mandatory workshop on the topic of boundaries in teaching, and attend a minimum of five counselling sessions.
