Ohhhhh! Now you are in my territory. I am a proud, India educated, Microbiologist. Never got caned, never made to stand out side in the sun or whatever. Child abuse is not limited to any country, race or profession. It is done by sick individuals. So please do not comment on things you have no idea about.
We all can Google. The net is full of News like you mentioned. It even says we are all in an Alien's petridish!!!! It is a news! You do not believe me? It is a news I can create and float it on the net and in ten days there would be extremely stupid people believing in it. Responsible Journalism or fake trash like Jordan's .......
Or are you one of the disgruntle parent whose kid did not pass the 11 +.....point to ponder....that's the reason why we are subjected to...you.

Caning rife in Indian schools :damaging children for life

Too young to understand the complexities of a modern world, yet traumatized enough to not want to belong to it anymore .He committed suicide four days after he was caned by the principal of his school, La Martiniere, a prestigious private school in Kolkata, over disciplinary issues.

WOW oilfxpro, I'm very impressed... that you have so much time to read all these articles you have attached - unfortunately I don't have time to read them all because I'm too busy pushing my children into the depths of despair in a bid to ruin their childhood forever.
Must go now because one of them is trying to escape out the front door and must be dealt with immediately.

Forget uni fees better start saving for the shrink that my dc's are obviously going to need given that they have to get, horror of horrors, a BUS to school!!! And oh heavens no, the chaos caused in their lives by the fact that I work part time as a teacher!

[goes to sob quietly in the corner because of the pain she is inflicting on her children]
When a child goes through 5 years of horror and cries quietly in bed , hiding the truth from his parents to protect his parents , the father eventually ends up with his ashes cause there are no more tears to wipe.

That poor thing suffered cause his parents were not there to take off the stress and his stress, stress unduly put on a little one to gain our materialism.

My kid passed the 11+ for a fact.

Most Indians cover the truth under the carpet , every bad deed in the family is hidden under the bag of skeletons.That is a true Indian .

A little change of style and the childhood may not be ruined.Just like we were raised forty years ago playing outdoors all day , and playing conkers and mending oily bikes.Don't lock them in.

I am truly sorry for your experiences oilfxpro but I think perhaps you need to acknowledge that, thankfully, not all parents are like yours and maybe addressing your issues would give you some peace.

oilfxpro, I do what I do for my children out of love, the best I can for them.
If what you are saying is true then you have had a horrible time as a child and I can understand your issues, however, what you are describing is not the norm and certainly not the way any child should be treated.
Move on, you are an adult now and in charge of your own life. I find the things my parents did wrong are the things that have taught me the most and I don't repeat them.

As the parent of one who has not passed, and was gutted, I can honestly say he is not damaged sufficiently by the process to require medical attention for depression. I may be, but not him. Parents do what they do as others have said because we care about our children, and more often than not it is the parent who suffers more when things go wrong. Because we care about our children we shoulder the stress and anxiety so that they do not have to.

A lot of your articles were at the very best 4 or 5 years out of date, and sensationalist, something the News of the World probably paid someone to say.

I think if parents don't try to get thier children get into good schools, then they are essentially limiting their childs potential. There may be very bright children in classes but amongst rowdy children, these kids won't be able to learn effectively and that at times can only be achieved through entering the race,unless your blessed with good alternatives.
And even then you may get a brilliant school but you don't know how things may change in the future.Even if the child may not pass they will have still benefited from the whole process and this can make a difference to confidence.

Children are unique with their own learning paces, but having been in a class myself of very high achievers, I always aimed higher for tests, and it was fun in a sense to get rewarded.I think not being able to keep up can lead to feelings of inadequacy but more support should be avaliable for these children.But there are a wide range of factors that can lead to depression,not just one alone, whilst social interaction is also important and having local friends can help but often if children get 1h homework it's often not due the next day leaving children to free a good deal of time.

Some children may enjoy complex challenges to simple tasks and not pushing them and letting them play all the time might not lead to happiness. It would be howthe whole process is handled and parents often know how much their children can take.

Such doom and gloom, and negativity.

My sons' journeys to and from school take 45 minutes each way. They love the journey and view it as a social occasion and have, in fact, made friends with other young people on the bus. They all have local friends. Out of choice mine tend not to go out with friends in the evenings as they do have some after school activities and when they are at home we make the most of family time. I can assure you my children are extremely happy and you can post as many articles as you like to try to insinuate otherwise, but it will not change the fact that they are happy. My husband and I work very hard at being involved in their lives and we talk constantly and we have lots of laughs.

I feel sad for that you have such a negative, judgemental attitude. I have always found it best to have a 'glass half full' type of attitude to life. Luckily, my children are the same. By the way they don't silently cry into their pillows, after their long bus journey home, three hours of homework and compulsory rather than voluntary activities they are far too exhausted to cry. :lol: :lol:
