Ironically, incidents relating to tin tots are being reported time and again. Teachers, who are supposed to nurture and care for the kids sometimes resort to harsh punishments without realising the consequences. It's high time that teachers act responsibly as the lives of children are precious and their kith and kin will not bear the loss of their dear ones. Though being strict is necessary, teachers should not cross the limits as the kids can learn in the meantime.
