Early education

I have read Mr. Zafar Alam Bhuiyan's letter entitled 'Make early education interesting' in The Daily Star of October 20, 2010. I agree with him that a good and caring environment should be ensured for the children from the very beginning of their education. And it is the sacred duty of both the guardians and the teachers to guide them properly. Some days ago my ten-year-old son Taosin, who reads in class five in a reputed school, could not prepare his lesson for the class. His class teacher rebuked him rudely. All the students of the class laughed at him. As a result, he started to flee from his school every day. Because of being service holders, both my husband and I were totally unaware about this at first. When we knew that, we were stunned. His father even beat him cruelly. Priti, a nine-year-old girl of our neighbourhood, also stopped going to school, because the insult was too much for her in the class. My question is - why do the kids of this tender age lose their interest to go to school? How can the teachers become so cruel to these kids? Can this type of behaviour of a teacher do any good to the students? I think both the guardians and the teachers should try to understand the psychology of the children. We should guide them properly so that they can become good citizens in the future.
