i remember a slightly lesser gruesome incident that happened while i was at school in abu dhabi....there was an incident where a kid in grade 1 had his head banged onto the wall by his teacher for not being able to write his ABCD properly....his forehead started to bleed and was rushed to the hospital :-O thankfully,he didn't have any internal injury.otherwise the teacher (who also happened to be the Principal's wife) would've been behind bars!

Keep smiling!

Saggi!
