I was studying in second standard and I was one among the best students of our class that time. This incident is about my maths teacher. During 2nd monthly test, when my parents checked my maths test paper book, found my marks very low. The problem was that, my writings written in pencil were not clear and so, teacher couldn't read it. My aunt wrote a letter and asked me to give it to her. She checked my test paper book and I got 24 out of 25. It occurred one more time... I think, monthly test after Onam quarter exams. But this time, things totally changed. Still now, I remember I got first rank for Onam exams for which my father gifted me a watch as promised, which I used till PDC.
Teacher told some words angrily....I can't remember...Actually, I couldn't understand at that age. After sometime, in the class room, my class teacher told me, "Your Mathematics teacher has asked Principle for his stick to punish you". I was thinking that it's a mistake to ask teacher to correct my test paper book. I was shivering in fear.
I still remember it was the last hour of our class, after 3 pm. As soon as she entered the class, she asked one boy of the class to take Principal's stick from the office. How many beatings I got in the thigh...still now I can't remember. Till now, I remember how much I requested her not to beat me. She continued it till the stick was broken and I didn't know the reason why I was punished. She just repeatedly asked, will you do it again???? Actually, I felt ashamed of being beat in front of the whole class than its real pain. She punished me thinking, I corrected the answers at home to gain more marks.
Yet, when I reached home, I just told, she didn't give me marks and hid the whole matter. Later at Christmas quarter exam, when my mother came to school to drop me, this teacher scolded my mother also a lot for teaching me wrong things. Then only, my parents were able to know about the punishment.
I often doubt, if that teacher cursed me in anger. I was never able to get first rank whole through my studies, except once later.
More hurting is that, till now, she may be believing I have committed a mistake. :( :(
Whenever my friends say, If that matter is told by Sandhya, it's 100% believable, I remember this incident.
Do you have such experiences in life?????
