I have heard of punishments, weird ones at that, but this takes the cake. A teacher in Malasia found a 16 year old had cigarettes and lighter in his locker. Instead of counselling the child, she made him smoke 46 cigarettes in 2 hours, 4 at a time in the presence of other teachers and children. The teacher must be mad ! How can they do this to kids. What is the education system coming to these days? The father of the child has complained to the police. Have you ever heard such weird punishments. Sure would like to know what our esteemed teachers are up to.

It is very common to find adolescents boys and even girls trying a hand on smoking, well at this age they are eager to try out lot of other things do which a matured person just cannot accept, I just can imagine being a teacher and imparting good habits or at least as you say or having a counselling session with the child, what immature behavior has the teacher undertaken. This shows her in capability of being a teacher.

That is child abuse if I ever heard it. I can't believe the other teachers watched and didn't put a stop to it. All I can say there is alot of crazy stuff happening in this world today.

You bet, every teacher who witnessed the punishment must also be punished along with that teacher, for the child was made to repeat the act for which he was punished ! The world is becoming more and more weird in its thinking. Thanks.

Its very crazy and not make sense. Is this done by a teacher have good senses ?, I think this is unreasonable and shoul be punished by the authorities. Teachers have the ability to establish and improve the value of personality of the student. Action or punishment for someone aiming to give effect to not repeat the same act in next time.

Exactly ! The punishment was a repeat of the act for which he was punished ? Sounds crazy but true. I hope all the teachers who watched this fiasco also be punished with the perpetrator of the crime. Thanks.

That is so unusual, and most of all, cruel! I don't know about the laws in Malaysia, but if that happened here in the United States, the teacher would probably be sued. This is so horrible... teachers can be so cruel!
