Should Kids Be Punished In Home Or School

Sanwi, the 11 year old girl looked to be very enthusiastic about joining a new school

. She had just completed her primary school and got admitted in the middle school. Sanwi loved to go to school. In her previous school, all the teachers loved her because of her polite behavior and her devotion towards her studies. For the new school, Sanwi bought new school bag, pair of shoes, pencil box and other accessories for the school. Sanwis mother took her to the school on the first day because they wanted to mentally support her.

She also found the new school a good place to learn new things and got good peers also. She was passing good days in the new school. Just before her midterm, Sanwi fell ill. So she was absent for a week. When she rejoined the school again after she got recovered, her math teacher Mr. Raghav asked her to solve some mathematical equation. As she was absent for a week and couldnt attend the classes, she failed to solve the equation. Out of anger Mr. Raghav humiliated her in front of the entire class and chided her. This incident left a grave impact on Sanwis psyche and she developed a fear towards school. It seemed that the radiant smile in her face had lost somewhere.

It has become a discussion topic in recent time whether kids should be punished or not. We often come across discussions where educationists stress on making kids realize their faults not by punishing, but by making them understand. Contrary to that, a good portion of parents support the idea of giving punishment to their kids who develop an annoying nature. But if we consider child psychology, we certainly can say that any type of punishment, whether it is mental or physical, should not be used in case of children. Every human being loves the self respect and a humiliation by any one in front of others may develop some psychological problem also.

It is very true in case of children. We adults, often punish our kids because we want them to accomplish some tasks. The whole purpose of punishment, in the case of children, is intended to change their behavior. But the question is that whether these really can change their behavior or bring any positive change in kids or not. In a research it is found that kids, who are often punished by their parents, develop a snobbish in nature. Such kids can also be lead to evil ways by the negative forces very easily.

This also causes detachment in the parent child relation. Emotional scars are left on children who are disciplined with pain. Many criminals that we read about have turned out to be those who had been abused as children. Moreover, mental or physical punishment in school should not be given as this may hurt the self esteem of the children. The Government has already banned the corporal punishments in school; its the time now to stop humiliating the students or doing any metal harm to them.
