    The children of the world have fallen behind academically because of the upheavals done in the education system as a result of the covid pandemic. The teacher should be given a medal for trying to fix this. The article was not clear on how they were tortured which is a shame and incomplete/shoddy reporting. If POCSO is used here it would be akin to NSA, UAPA and sedition etc. that is being regularly dished out by the ruling dispensation from the centre to terrorise the population.

    Teacher should know that not all students are above average; some are duds and are incapable of solving math problems fast. He should tutor them, not torture them; there is no excuse for harassing or torture.

    Today's education has gone to the dogs. It is commercialized, there is a nexus (modus operandi) - racket behind most of the schools / coaching classes etc. in the guise of imparting education. The common perception is that loading the students with homework will raise the standard of the institution and improve their rankings wherein they will stand out in the top 10 slots for the next academic year curriculum.
