'Corporal Punishment in Chennai Schools'
[By: Ms. Tashi Yangzom Bhutia, Manitham]

 
 

Students will listen, obey and co-operate with the teachers even if non-corporal means of punishment - By: Ms. Tashi Yangzom Bhutia, Manitham

No doubt, corporal punishment has been banned by the government and many government schools received instruction not to use any corporal punishment. Some schools still use it. I like interviewed more than forty students (standard VI to XII ) from various schools around Chennai and a majority of students feel that they do not want any form of corporal punishment to be given to them instead they impositions advice, counseling and other lenient form of punishment. And majority of them also say that they will listen obey and co-operate with the teachers even if non-corporal means of punishment are enforced.
