Got up today thinking about Rouvanjit, the 13 yr old who was studying at the prestigious 
school, who committed suicide after being caned by the principal. Today the news is that they have banned the cane but the principal refuses to step down! As a parent myself, I am feeling extremely sad and disgusted that such archiac methods of instilling discipline are still in use.
I am scared too coz the parents don’t know what happens inside the school! Maybe such schools should get a lesson in child psycology. The teachers should be taught how to deal with the students as they are very sensitive at such a tender age. Faults like coming late to school or not completing the homework should be brought to the notice of parents if it happens regularly. Otherwise things should be sorted out with the child in an amicable manner.
This issue has been cropping in my mind ever since I got myself registered to websites like facebook, orkut, twitter, and linkedin. There is so much scope of putting up all information about yourself, right from educational qualifications to which movies and songs you like, and that is mind boggling. Not to forget the images and videos which can elaborately depict your vacations, day to day activities and likes and dislikes. Facebook also has an option to add links from different websites which can be viewed by friends and acquaintances alike. To top it all, there is an option of updating your status message time and again which is so very fashionable as loads of discussions happen on topics such as “I am getting late for office”.
