So much so about 'children rights'! From now onwards, teachers cant advice, punish school kids for any wrong doings. Attention pls the "liberal" education minister!

Please do not try to justify the abolishing of corporal punishment with this incident!

Student has already started using his privileged status given by the pacha government. He was probably typing comments agaist social or other mefia posts critising the pacha government. When the teacher inquired about it he applied his JVP mindset. What a rich and good country we live now after Pachawatte Brothers were given power.

Agree with your comments 100%, as a kid I did face corporal punishment at home and school . I turned up to be perfectly sane, completing a PHD and working in UK without any criminal records. We try to emulate the west without understanding our culture. There is a delicate balance freedom and responsibility. Government by abolishing the corporal punishment has put both the student's and teacher's future in jeopardy. The lady minister from central Srilanka, does not have much exposure both education and experience wise. Like many I see in the NPP and previous government.

I believe that someone who doesn't even know how to spell "Srilanka," their own country's name, has a PHD - maybe a "Pinata Hambuna Degree":)
