The trend now is for schools to work closely with parents. And
for parents to be more involved in their child's progress and
performance in school. I think there is nothing wrong with
notifying parents of what the child is up to.
The issue here, is whether parents have a healthy relationship with
the child. If the child, when in trouble, fears facing his parents
more than death itself, then something is very wrong with the
parent-child relationship.
Secondly, a child who is so fearful of making mistakes and getting
punished that he'd rather die than to face up to repurcussions,
reflects on his lack of maturity.
Perhaps the teacher should be more aware of how each individual
would react, how much pressure he can handle before he breaks, and
act accordingly. But it isn't easy keeping track of so many
students in a class.
