This is truly truly painful. As a child we had psycho teachers like this too and yes IMO any teacher who thinks he/she has the right to batter a child is sick! Mind you my parents sent us to one of the best schools in the country and such beasts existed there too. However not as bad as in some of the schools in impoverished areas where students have been beaten up so brutally it will scar them for life and one child was actually killed by a demonic teacher as well!and yes there have been suicides as well. All this made me make myself a firm resolve that I will never ever let a teacher lay a finger on my child! And to think such evil still lurks is saddening.. Yes these teachers deserve the harshest punishments permitted here.. End this evil practice once and for all!
