Teacher training college canings
More from the Indian forum I’ve been discussing recently – this time, descriptions of punishments at teacher training colleges:
Vihsal: We had corporal punishment even in our college. I did my B.Ed course in a women’s training college in Karnataka. Some teachers and hostel matron used to pinch and cane us occassionally. Once a teacher pinched my thighs severely for making mistakes in the chart I prepared for seminar. Another day she caned my buttocks in her room for wearing saree as I had to wear churidar as uniform on that day. some days our matron visited our rooms with cane . We had to suffer these at the age of 20 to 24.
Maju: Similar happening to me… I am doing B.Ed. from Women Training college. Our teachers punish us in the kids way. They make us touch toe.
Elsabu: I am also doing BEd. I thought such punishments are in our college only.We don’t tell these to anybody. I got cane four months ago for writing on library book. I was sent to class incharge. She held my saree tightly wrapped around my thighs and slashed cane.
