My child studies in primary section of a reputed school which has chain of schools across India. Last week he was hit by a fellow student in his class. that boy caught hold of my kid's neck so tightly that he was choking and suffocated. apparently my kid was hit because he made his claim on something which belonged to him and which was robbed by this other child. on inquiring with the teacher and school counsellor I was given reason that the kid has a psychological problem and gets very angry and does not have control over his temper. this was not the first time my child was hit, on other occassions he was hit with a pencil near his eye by this same boy. other children of the class have also been at the receiving end from this mad kid. What irked was the attitude of the school where the teacher and counsellor sympathized with the kid and pitied the mother who had come for the PTA meeting. My question is to what extent this kind of behaviour is tolerated in the school?? Should parents of other kids live in constant fear that this mad kid doesn't get made and harm our kids. Today the kid is small but what about tomorrow, what about when they turn teenagers. Shouldn't schools be giving an ultimatum to parents of such kids to either get the child's act correct or remove him from school for the safety of other kids. I am contemplating taking up the matter with the school principal for I like any other parent wants to see my child safe & secured.
