Teachers should think before they hit students


Witnessing teachers resort to violence and harsh punishments deeply saddens us. Those with hot tempers and impatience shouldn't be educators. Some act authoritarian, treating students like prisoners; such teachers should face legal consequences under Indian law.

The recent incident at Borim's government school, where a teacher physically abused and restrained a student, is shocking. When a child disobeys, teachers must involve parents rather than taking the law into their own hands. 

Children are precious gifts, and no one has the right to brutalize them. Likewise, parents shouldn't punish someone else's child; conflicts should be resolved with love and care.

It would be prudent if the Education Department, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the Goa police swiftly address and resolve this issue.

Teachers who violate India's education rules and regulations must be promptly removed from their positions. The safety and well-being of students are paramount and a swift response is crucial in maintaining a healthy educational environment.
