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 urself,
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
their 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 embarrassed 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...hmmm...y do female teachers seem to believe
in psychological punsihments rather than physical ones?
