The world I live in

Some times wish had the magical skills from the Harry Potter series. At least when in danger of physical harm here, could turn myself into a tiger. Nope, not a cow. That would give the word cow a more negative context. But then what do we educated intellectual masses know. We blindly follow our leader. And yes waiting to see some Major festivals in India turn into some 'celebrated' day because why should only a certain religion have all the fun.

Yesterday my daughter 6 had a bad day at school, thanks to 2 incidents that she never expected to happen to her. In the first one, the teacher denied her request to go to the bathroom thrice. She landed up wetting herself and staying in the soiled clothes till she came home. The next incident makes me wonder at the teacher's ability to handle students. I do understand that every teacher is a human being first, and goes through a whole taxing process of handling multiple issues as best possible, trying to balance expectations and delivering the education that needs to reach young minds. So I really do understand why a teacher could snap. Young kids aren't easy to teach. So what's a teacher's reason to whack a kid who is not a troublemaker?
