HI, recently there are cases of children beaten to death by their teachers for petty reasons in schools. The pressure put upon children in these competitive days is increasing. But their young minds cannot accept the pressure and are being tormented. The government inspite of all these is neglecting the proper measures to be taken. Is it the government who should take the blame or it depends on the stress level these days or is it for the fun of beating children and feeling superior are the cases which are causing a number of incidents of teachers beating the students. Finally should corporal punishment be banned in schools and should the government take immediate measures to stop this from happening in the future?????

As far as I know, corporal punishment is banned from schools becaue it's inappropriate for kids. However, its execution is obviously a different matter. It relies on the kids, other kids, parents, and a lot of communication with our kids.

what to do with it,almost nothing. students have their pressure to be successful, and their parents have their expectations. but the schools should rather check on the quality of thier teachers.as for me, i know many teachers who are not qualified to teach and guide their sudents bu still at their teaching career destroying students' lives.

Hi there! That's scary. If that will continue to happen, I will just encourage the parents to homeschool their children. That's not the case here in our place because once you lay your hand on a student here, the can rebuke your license.
