More sinned against than sinning!

Governing body of La Martinier school has taken correct decision. They've decided they'd take no punitive action against the teachers who have been accused of awarding corporal punishment to Rawla who happened to have committed suicide later on.No clue has been established that corporal punishment led to boy's suicide.Now the matter boils down to the fact three teachers along with the Principal were arrested and subsequently released on personal bond as because awarding physical punishment to student is a cognisable offence.Such routine or mechanical use of this law would do more harm than good to the students.It'll be difficult for teachers to enforce discipline in class room.There are many pupils who're by nature naughty and mischievous.To tame them only by counselling is not possible.In their cases harsher measures are warranted and otherwise they'll not only spoil themselves but spoil others too.But after La Mart episode, teachers would not even dare chide a boy lest he could commit suicide.If teachers are often grilled for taming an unruly element in a class,how would the head of the institution run the institute properly?It's high time we could pause and ponder over the matter seriously and dispassionately.I think teachers are being more sinned against than sinning.
