Stop human cruelty

Girl. 11 years old. Grade 2 student. Picture her.
Now imagine her head being banged hard against a desk and then her body overheating from standing in the sun for hours.
She fainted, went into coma and then died. Who made her do this?
Her teacher decided to met out corporal punishment on her because she couldn't recite the alphabet (and probably because she hailed from a lowly family).
Hard to believe someone can be so cruel to a young girl.
Teachers in India, will you please stop abusing your power on poor young kids. Once you are suspended where 's your power then???
Parents should never encourage corporal punishment in schools. Ragging is no different when college seniors abuse freshmen. Such practices seriously need to stop and the media can help. But they need to stop reporting on the visibility of nostril hair of politicians and start publishing more such stories if the Government is to notice.
