It is what happened with 11 year old Shanoo. Not being able to recite English alphabets enraged her teacher so much that she banged her head against the table and made her stand in the scorching sun for two hours after which the poor child fainted and was found in this condition by her younger sister who by the way studies in the same school.She informed her mother and now Shanoo is in coma in the hospital battling for her life.

A few days ago some children from the primary school again run by Government were beaten up brutally just because they were making noise just before they were to be served with their mid day meal.

The tragic part is all these incidents took place in the national Capital. The teacher and the Principal both have been placed under suspension for Shanoo’s incidence.

Why do such acts of untamed violence take place repeatedly. One of the reason being perhaps the guilty of several incidents in the past have not been punished or perhaps they have been let off just by giving a warning that every teacher knows that he or she will get away lightly even if she murders a poor defenseless kid.

The Government is urging parents to send their kids to schools to get education but such incidences are a huge deterrent for all parents.

Obviously even I would prefer to keep my child uneducated but safe at home and not educated but maimed for life by sending her to such school.

It is high time that Government gives such exemplary punishment to such sadistic teachers that everyone would think twice before handing out any type of corporal punishments on every trivial issue.
