well, from my experiences in sch, its stil proven to me tat
female teachers r more ‘creative’ in punishing students…they r the
ones who inflict punishments which r more psychological rather than
physical…when i was in primary sch, i encountered several female
teachers who had a wide variety of punishments. they include things
like ear-pulling, standing wif book on top of ur head,
recitation(repeating a statement again n again until they tell u to
stop), doing half-squats while pulling ur ears, slapping ursel,
walking up n down the corridor for 1 whole period cos u were caught
walking ard the class without permission…i myself was a victim of a
few of these…i recall an incident in primary sch…it was during a
prize presentation rehearsal…when we went to the hall for
rehearsal, we saw 2 boys each standing at 1 corner of the stage on
top pulling thier ears…we later found out tat they were being
punished by the teacher-in-charge of the rehearsal. to make it
worse, the teacher made them stand facing us. we could see how
embarrassed they were. n the teacher kept thenm there thru out the
entire rehearsal!!! so while we were rehearsing, those 2 boys were
being punished. can u imagine how embarraseed they muz have felt??
n how tired they muz have been for standing for such a long
period??? again, it was done by a female teacher…
