TORTURE OR DISCIPLINE?

          A primary school student gets 'punished' by way of lashes with a cane somewhere in Africa



One would wonder if this is indeed the way to go in the 21st Century. It looks like extreme torture rather than discipline for whatever offense this young one has committed. Indeed, from the photo above, we can easily deduce that the other students behind are standing by in utmost shock and fear, waiting for their turn of the bitter pill their colleague is taking. 

 

Aren't there better ways of correcting a child in school or at home?

 

Should such punishment be abolished? If yes, join the fight against corporal punishment in schools and lets save our future leaders from torture disguised as discipline.
