MY EDITORIAL

My editorial:

Strange, isn’t it, Editorial in a blog spot?? My letters to the editor does not get published because it does not serve the interest of the editor but Odiya new papers are that way better, they except healthy criticism ,satires and publish them. That made me to decide I must have my own views and suggestions for my readers.
Today’s editorial is on punishment for students in schools and colleges, is it justified??
One student died due to alleged punishment of a teacher (Odiya news paper report) but no one has heard any thing after that. We do not know what actually happened. A railway ticket checker has to do his duty and punish the culprits but if some one jumps from a running train and gets injured or get killed then who is to blame? But media says that the ticket less traveler was kicked out of the running train. Students do not even know how to write one’s name in class V standard but we are ready to pass a legislature that a teacher can’t open his or her mouth if the student is doing mischief or not coming to class. If one teacher beats a student then the whole teaching community becomes bad and teacher has no right to do like that. It’s like we should not have security guard because our ex-PM was killed by his guard!! With out punishment and fear of being punished will not lead to a brilliant or a bad student. Ask any learnt individuals of the society whether they were ever punished in their child hood or not and how that changed their life. A teacher tries his or her best but he does it for the child and society never for his own interest. So before we decide and come to a conclusion that a child can do no wrong lets give it another chance for a good and sincere teacher
