Dear Editor,
I must congratulate Stabroek News’ Saturday supplement The Scene for running the series on Challeng-ing Corporal Punishment and for offering alternatives to this dreadful practice.
Keep up the good work The Scene! Remember, the six-month deferment of the debate in Parliament on a proposed ban on school corporal punishment comes to an end on June 7, 2007. By then consensus will have been built among all the parties to bring a formal end to institutionalized violence against school children.
Yours faithfully,
M Xiu Quan-Balgobind-
