Cruelty of school teachers

I was a student of Motijeel Ideal School & College. Currently I am studying at Notre Dame College. The days of my school life still haunts me because some of our teachers used to beat us for petty faults. My brother is now also studying in class seven at Ideal School. Last Monday a teacher severely punished my brother along with 30 other students for their childish prank. Your reporter also reported that incident. Punishing students for petty faults has become a common phenomenon at Ideal School.

You might say that in order to achieve better academic results, sometimes teachers should beat the students for their own good. I also agree with you. But this should not cross the limit at all. Last Monday's incident has created a very bad impact on my brother.

In the developed countries, teachers know how to give lessons to students without punishing. But here in our country, not only Ideal School, but also some other renowned schools, are still giving punishment to their students physically.

I urge you to please write an editorial in your esteemed daily about this so that there created a public awareness about physical beating by teachers. Beating innocent children should stop forever.
