The teacher did not stop beating the children even when they started crying and running for help.

According to Express News, police have arrested the teacher, and a case has been registered in accordance with the K-P Child Protection and Welfare Act 2010.

delhuss | 7 years ago | Reply Bullied children will only obey out of fear. We are taught to respect our elders and not ask questions. This is a recipe for disaster. Children should be encouraged to speak up and ask questions in a supportive and loving environment otherwise they become meek and obedient servants, like the children of Nazi Germany, and will obey whatever orders they are given. School should be a place of learning with encouraging support from the teachers, not a place of fear and intimidation. This man is a bully and not fit to call himself a teacher. He needs educating himself to be a better human being.
