You are right that if it leaves permanent scars then it's definitely a no no. However, if you look at the picture clearly, it's like a normal "rotan" session to me. Though the teacher should have cane the palm or buttocks, but sometimes you'll need to understand the teacher's point of view as well.

My question to you is, Have you ever thought children? How about those naughty ones? How about those rebellious ones? How about those who shouts at you? Those who spits at you? In a normal human being, you'll have your limits too. You can't expect a teacher to be a SUPERMAN!

I'm not a teacher myself but I have lots of teacher friends and I feel for them. Low pay, kena marah from parents for the smallest thing!!! Parents blame them when their kids do not do well in school, and lots more.

Teachers should be honored instead of criticize. I do agree that there are a few bad apple teachers out there but most of the teachers are making an effort to help the children. It's the parents who demands the teachers to educate and discipline them but they themselves don't do anything. Parents think money is KING. So, I give you lots of MONEY and I want the teacher to make my child like Einstein!
