Should beating be introduced as a way of correcting kids in their schools?
No teacher needs to hit a student and no teacher should ever want to. The teacher should lead by kindness, compassion, wisdom and example and encourage logic and critical thinking and explore solutions by engaging in a mutual discussions with the class. The act of hitting is brutish and deplorable ;it is an easy and disgraceful way out. It is a way of avoiding the true duty a teacher has to their pupils which is to teach from the heart and the head and not from the fist or the hand or the rod. A teacher who hits is not a good teacher and has much to learn. Hitting is clearly not an intelligent way to address a problem or manage a class.
Students subjected to corporal punishment experience immense psychological pain and are more prone to severe repercussions such as aggressive and disruptive behaviour, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal tendencies, etc. There are numerous techniques to discipline a child without subjecting them to violence. Most times, teachers are not given the right training to understand a child’s mind. A child misbehaves for many reasons — and it’s the teacher’s responsibility to go to the root of the problem and help the child overcome it.
