Prof Dr Md Abdul Mannan, director at DSHE, said: “Teachers often take shortcuts and simply expel students when they break the rules. It is the responsibility of the teachers to ensure that the students learn from their mistakes. “Young people need to be given the chance to correct themselves. If they are not nurtured properly, they could become psychologically unstable. Sudden TCs like this affect them severely. It also affects their family and social life negatively.” Dr Mannan also said that he did not know why the Willes Little Flower authority expelled the students. “If the guardians file complaints, we will take necessary measures against the institution.” When asked about the possible mental and emotional state of students, Assistant Professor of the Department of Clinical Psychology at University of Dhaka, S M Abul Kalam Azad said: “When a child is responsible for a mishap, it is not called a crime. It is considered to be a mistake that they should be given the chance to correct. “Teachers and guardians are responsible for handling these matters and teaching them morals and ethics. Instead of doing that, if the teachers immediately expel them from school, the students feel extreme psychological pressure. Young people do not have the ability to cope with stress the way older, more experienced people do.”This article was first published on banglatribune.com
