Abstract
A six-year old child was caught red-handed by the school teacher using unfair means in the exam. She was interrogated by the teacher and the child sitting beside her testified that she was copying from the notes she had brought with her. The child’s former class teacher was called upon followed by another teacher teaching that particular subject. All the three teachers admonished her repeatedly in front of all the students who were giggling and making fun of the girl. She was then taken to the school’s supervisory head where another cycle of disgrace was inflicted on the child. The punishment for this act did not stop here. Following this, she was made to stand in the school corridor for almost an hour and her parents were called by the school principal. Conclusively, the girl stopped eating her meals properly (Anecdotal Record of a parent).
