Punishment: 7 school kids' palms burnt

Our education system is something which is not often talked about (unless it is about secularism then it is cause celebre), yet the reality is that primary education more than anything affects our prosperity and well being.

Incidents like above demonstrate the lemantable condition of pedagogy in our nation, can we expect children who have to go through incidents like not to turn cynical at best or criminal at worst.

This incident brought back memories of my school where a certain teacher used to punish pupils by banging their heads on wall, while another inflicted injuries by flinging dusters.

I was saved by the fortunate circumstance of being a teacher's ward and hence off-bounds for such sadism.
