Shocking news of violence against students in today’s Al Rai newspaper [Arabic link]. Two citizens used a mobile phone to film an act of brutality by two female teachers against a little girl (2nd or 3rd grade), after their heard the girl crying and screaming for half an hour. This happened in Amman, in Al Arwa Bint AL Harith school near the First Circle.
Apparently the girl was tied to the ironwork of a window and was being hit and verbally abused by the teacher.
Al Rai says it has sees the clip and that the citizens went to the Head of Education of the First Amman District Ahmad Al Hawamdeh to show it to him, who in turn promised an investigation.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
What is needed is not an investigation, but an outright REVOLUTION in the governmental educational system.

Thank God for people who were willing to expose this atrocity. People who intentionally inflict pain on children need to know they will be exposed and dealt with.
they put the whole thing on video, and did not think of going there and stop the teacher???? regardless of how fruitful an invistigation would turn if a video is present, i cant justfiy their numbness!
by the way, i noticed that u approve comments manually but u dont seem to tamper with them let alone respond to them, so im wandering, why are u not allowing automatic commenting? (if its spam, u can get a wordpress spam blocker, they are great)
