excited to see one another after two whole weeks . My teacher Miss Eliza wasn’t present in the
classroom so I took the opportunity to express how amazing and cheerful my Christmas had
been and what I got for Christmas this year . As I stood there I felt this sharp and dreadful lash
repeatedly on my lower foot . She started flogging me leaving me no chance to explain while all

my classmates stood there in shock and terrified . I went home after school and explained what
had happened . Following day my parents attended the school wanting an explanation on the
matter . The teacher related to my parents and the principle that children need discipline
sometimes and she was only trying to discipline me . I was given a chance to speak and I told
everyone who was present in the room that I wasn't doing anything wrong. I have never been to
the principal's office or gotten in trouble with any of my teachers or parents . I was only trying to
share my wonderful Christmas experience with my friends before class began . Ms Eliza
apologized to me and my parents for her action and also for abusing the use in discipling
children . I wasn’t the first student to experience this but after the incident and how it was
handled I was surely the last.
