FIR for scolding student in class

Expanding the definition of corporal punishment to cover any form of adverse treatment—from scolding to death—the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has urged parents to be fearless in filing FIRs against schools if children complain of such abuse.
Do you think that
scolding a student for his/her mistakes is a crime?

Children come to school to learn. If they make mistakes in the classroom and surely they would, the teacher should focus on the learning opportunity of that moment. Because the greatest lessons can be had and learned through one's honest mistakes, whether inside or outside of the classroom.

Spare the rod, spoil the teacher? Use it on his/her behind! Teachers need punishment. They don't learn nothing! Esp, to deal with cute little goon.da(i)s.

Even though I am totally against hurting/abusing a child or student but there should be some sort of consequences for misbehaviour otherwise kids will get out of hands and India will face the same situation as most of the western world where parents or teachers cant do much and the teenagers are getting into crime and ending up in prisons. may be encouraging positrive behaviour, talking to parents or counselling should be considered as some of the options but children should know that there should be some consequence if they dont follow the rules.

Schools are temples of learning, and apart from bookish lessons their are moral lessons to be learnt, which include that if you make mistakes without learning from them, you are bound to be punished .. so if we take the scolding or punishing part out the equation, children might be inclined towards making same mistakes again and again and not learn from them. There have been rare cases of teachers who have gone to extremes in punishing the students (which are bad) but the whole thing has been blown out of proportion (again by media), and people are now using it to tarnish the image of Teachers in general.

Hi Shrawan, coming here after a long gap - life got a bit busy :-(
