Nellore: Fifteen girl students of Gudur municipal high school were admitted to a private hospital after their teacher punished them for not reciting a poem. Police on Tuesday slapped a case against teacher Pratima, a resident of Nellore, for meting out harsh punishment to class VI students.
Pratima, who takes part-time computer classes, was reportedly asked to handle Telugu class by
the headmaster on Monday as the subject teacher was absent. The teacher
lost her cool when some 15 girl students failed to recite a poem and they were asked to do 150 sit-ups. The students had no option but to bow to her diktat. The students barely could walk on Tuesday and the hostel authorities rushed them to a private hospital where they are recovering.
Local legislator Balli Durgaprasada Rao and municipal commissioner Seetharamaiah who visited the hospital said that stringent action would be taken against the teacher. The doctors said that though most of the children would recover from the trauma and pain, two children were kept under close watch following development of other complications.
District collector Sridhar asked the commissioner to provide all assistance to the hospital authorities and children till they recover.
