U should have asked that priest why he beat those kids!

btw, ornaments in school is a no.
Talking 2 a girl, depends on the situation.

For a hair cut, that priest got some problems!

Principal considered talking to a girl is a crime. It’s quite natural, beacause he is a priest…

Just remember “Kittatha Munthiri Pulikkum”….

Such punishments makes criminals out of even ‘good boys’. Education is not about studies alone, it prepares someone to live in a society. If the teachers don’t know or don’t care about this… no one can save the world!!!

So-Called Crime No. 1

Gold ornaments are not allowed in any school.
But, all schools do allow students to use gold ear-rings.
Ear-Rings are always exempted from the list of prohibited ornaments.
This couldnot be punished.

So called crime no.2

We could understand the punishment if the boy haven;t had an haircut for a long but not coz he cut his hair.
Infact our principal , urges us to have military cut.
I just cant find the fcuking reason for this.

So called Crime No.3

Talking to a girl !! Punished for that ??
Insane. Then , why the hell are the upholding co-education.

Co-education doesnt mean that, just boys and girls study together, and never talks. It’s intended to shape the personality of both the boy/girl and to develop them as morally/emotionally stable persons.
Preventing boys & girls from talking each other, does no good, other than Great HARM.

Once again,
Thanks Kenny for blogging this.

Even I think Military Hair Style is decent – beats the logic out of my head…

Ornaments and the child who was wearing , ohh, I had a wrong logic.
1) Its not good for a boy to wear ornaments, be it gold or fashionable, until he is ready to fly from his high school.

2) But a military cut hair style , beating for that??
Men at military at named and called as ‘Gentlemen’ for what they are , for what they look like, for what they do etc etc. If the kids imitate them, whats wrong? After all, its not worse to cut hair, whereas rules can be implemented on growing hair.

3) And i still am against the strict rules at missionary/religion prioritised schools. They think they are doing wise things.

4) Talking to a girl, best place to open your heart and understand ourselves. Whereas girls, simply believe the color.

One thing I forgot to mention was about religion and school. Religion is a personal thing and should never be mixed with anything. We have already seen the bad effects of mixing politics and religion. By ceding to religious demands – we are cultivating the wrong kind of discipline in the children.

They are not going to get Fridays off when they walk into the corporate world. A turban might be OK in the corporate world – but that is what the corporate world can take – no more.
