The grist in the tale to tell!

It is sad to see that the position of a teacher is so repugnant to a student these days but then again, such reactions are inevitable given the facts that more and more stories of teacher mistreatment are coming to light. With the death of Rinky, a 15 year old student who was hit on the head by her teacher for having refused personal tuition, it does bring into focus the line that no teacher should cross. Are we so lacking good quality teachers that we can get only murderers and rapists to apply for that esteemed position?

Students given electric shocks by teacher!

We have all been there and done that but we never had electric shocks given to us by our teacher just because we were not paying any attention in class. That was what took place in a little known school in Maharashtra.

It was the physics class and the students were accused of not paying any attention [ come on, how many of us really paid any attention in that class], so they were given electric shocks by their physics teacher, obviously with the goal of inducing them to pay more attention when dr.mengele spoke.
It is sad to see that the teachers are getting increasingly intolerant and as students their rights are being constantly subjugated by the teachers. The Supreme court has outlawed corporal punishment and it still takes place,even today. When I was a student and was punished for something or the other, the worst thing that happened to me was that I had to stay back for detention. These unlucky students who have had a run in with dr.mengele, are scared out of their wits. The current was mild but the damage has already been done. The Mengele teacher has been suspended and an investigation is ongoing, is this how students are taught, with a chalk in one hand and an open wire on the other??
