IT was reported in the media that a welfare organisation says no to corporal punishment.Well, it’s only now these people are waking up to the harsh realities of life when it comes to violence on children in our schools.
For years now the ordinary man had been calling for the legal authority to abolish this so-called “corporal punishment”, but it kept falling on deaf ears.

I have been saying for years now in this very medium that “corporal punishment” is nothing but “assault” on innocent, defenceless children who cannot defend themselves against adults.
Take a survey by asking kids who were beaten in school by their teachers if they fear going back to that teacher.
The answer will be a resounding “NO”
It is what it is and its child abuse.
There are many teachers who have other problems on their minds only to come to school and take it out on innocent children.
I have seen it before and wrote about it before.
As a student I was beaten by a teacher just because he wanted to have a word with my girlfriend after classes were over.
Again, I will repeat that was the last day of my school days because I did not take that beating and sit and cry.
I defended myself.
Put a stop to adult assault on innocent children now, not next week next month next year- do it now.
