I'd have to disagree. Even in an accident or mistake such as this, it is appropriate to apologize. While technically you have no need to apologize for something you never intended to happen, it was your fault it did. Saying sorry just proves something completely unintentional happened and you regret causing the situation in the first place. Now, I'm surprised this was such a big deal to your gym teacher, or to anyone. Usually when my class played volleyball, and something like that happened, we all kinda laughed at it, with no hard feelings toward the offending party. Still, if someone did take it the wrong way, or it hit them hard, apologizing is the most appropriate action. |

I agree with ASB2. Though you're coach went overboard, I don't see why you wouldn't apologize for hitting him in the head. Why not be sorry that it hit him? |

While it wasn't your intention to harm him, refusing to apologize, especially when asked, is going to paint you a nice shade of "dick." Now, I don't think your teacher should have really cared enough to call you an idiot, but what I can't understand is why you didn't just blurt out "Sorry" the moment you hit him; for me, and practically everyone I know, it's pretty much a subconscious reaction to harming someone unintentionally. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Nothing to lose sleep over. |

He was sorry that it him. I don't understand... He said that he didn't mean it and that he felt bad for it. What's so special about saying the word "sorry"? He made an apology by saying it was just an accident. There was nothing more he needed to say. |

Because some people (Example: Stereotypical gym teacher) NEED to hear the word "Sorry" or "Apology" for it to register in their mind. Either of those words, in conjunction with what he said or not, would have worked better. |

Those stereotypical people are the kind of people I wouldn't want to apologize to anyway. |

Then you might as well not say anything at all, because you wouldn't feel bad anyway. |

No, I wouldn't, unless I actually did it by accident and I was so surprised and flustered that the words fell off my tongue like they usually do.

I would most likely go along with him, and agree with him like the others, and talk about him rudely behind his back. Hey! I'm being honest!

It has nothing to do with being forced to apologize. If you're asked to apologize, it's likely that the person feels that you don't feel sorry for what you did. Does this mean you should absolutely apologize every time you're asked to? No, but in this case, from what I know, a simple gut reaction of "sorry" would have been sufficient. The Gym teacher was also being somewhat of a dick, I agree, but personally, depending on how serious the injury was, I would have probably just laughed it off and apologized sincerely. I wouldn't have taken him getting all moody too seriously. |

So, you did say something along the lines of "I regret causing the accident"? If so, then you're being more obtuse about it then you absolutely need to be. Saying "I'm sorry", as you said, implies you caused the accident, you regret doing it, and is what most people are looking for when you've wronged them. I think what got the teacher mad was the fact you kinda danced around actually apologizing, and you sounded "Smart Alecky". The situation didn't need to be that complicated; if you had simply said "I'm sorry I hit you, teacher", and at least come off remorseful, he wouldn't have given it a second thought. While the public emasculation is a little much, I can understand how people feel when others talk like that. |
