A teacher in Sri Racha district of Chon Buri province has allegedly injured a 12 year previous pupil by forcing her to do 60 squat jumps. The girl’s father says she was hospitalised for six days for “a very bad fever and leg pain”. He mentioned his daughter was discharged from the hospital on May 31.
Covert , 36 yr old Surat Pri-Udom, said the teacher punished the entire class of sixth graders with the squat jumps after somebody spilled liquid ink on her desk. Surat showed up to Sri Racha Police Station yesterday (Wednesday) to press charges in opposition to the trainer.
The girl’s mother, 40 yr previous Potjaman Pathumnangsri, told the press that she had by no means believed someone who she trusted to care for her daughter would harm her like this. She added that teachers ought to use sympathy to take care of children’s behaviour points, and not anger. Initially, Sri Racha police would summon the accused teacher for an interrogation to be honest for each events.

The mother said her son got here residence with a bruise on his neck.
