First made to sit outside for half an hour, then showered blows
According to the students, they went to school on Tuesday like normal days. The third period is of the mathematics teacher. As soon as they entered the class, he sent them out saying that both of you do not have to study, sit outside. Both of them remained sitting outside in the cold for half an hour. Then the fourth period started, Narendra Rathi took the class of Sanskrit subject in the absence of madam. Both the students were called inside the class. Three additional students were called and threatened that if they did not hold the feet of both of them properly, they would be beaten. Don't leave your feet in between. After this, in front of the students of ninth class (D section), the teacher beat both the children with sticks.
This is how teachers beat for discipline and studies
Students also told that teachers often beat them in this way to maintain discipline and studies in the class. Strict action should be taken against the teacher. If students are beaten like this in school, they will be afraid to come to school. According to the relatives, no one from the family was present when the children were beaten in the school. Relatives expressed apprehension and said that such things were being said by the school management to save the teacher. We didn't even know that children were beaten to such an extent. If I had known, I would have lodged a complaint earlier.
There have been cases before of children being beaten like this.
Recently, a case was registered against a teacher for beating a child in the government school of Gaunchi. In the year 2019, in the Government Senior Secondary School located in Sector-21D, the teacher had beaten the children with a water pipe for not answering the questions. Action was taken against the teachers in the related case. Action is taken against teachers under JJ Act for brutally beating children, neglecting them and making them stand unnecessarily outside the class. Teachers are there to teach children, it is okay to scare them, but beating them like this is very wrong.
