Has this teacher/school been identified. I am in support of caning on the hands ( not more than 6 strokes) but what I see here is unacceptable. It's it totally age inappropriate. You don't lie a child down especially a girl child & flog her.
@ChichebemSP Three on each hand will not make her unable to hold a pen. If that's a concern then the hand not used for writing is an option. I strongly believe there is a difference between discipline & cruelty. That's where the line should be drawn.
