Dear Principal,
This email is written to you with the intention that necessary responsible action will be initiated by your office regarding the use of corporal punishment in your school, as reported by the media i.e., http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=8..250514.may14.
1. The situation is very alarming and I am disturbed to learn that such condemnable incident has occurred in your school.
2. The nature of the incident is blatant violation of ethical treatment of students.
3. Such abusive approach is a wrong way to discipline school children.
4. For better understanding of the matter, you may kindly access the following resources:
