A heart rending story
Just recently, I have come across a very touching news story. Some young students were branded with a burning hot stick. Their fault - they were talking to each other in the class! And to top it - the principal, though suspended, was unrepentant. This reminded me of the corporal punishment I used to receive in the form of caning and slaps. This resulted in my bunking classes doing poorly in exams. Finally I completed my education through non-regular stream.
Every civilized person should raise a voice against any kind of corporal punishment meted out to children and students. A petition has been started by some blessed soul which I fully support, and if you feel the same way, you must support it.
