“My dad is a bad man. He beats my mother regularly. Mom and I cry every night,” wrote a class 5 student of an English medium school in Salt Lake in an essay on ‘My Family’.
“No one cares for us. Even our uncles have turned a deaf ear to us. Dad beats me also. This is my family,” wrote the 10-year-old girl, otherwise calm and quiet in class. To say that her teacher, giving a routine assignment to her class, was taken aback is an understatement.
“When I will grow up, I will take my mother far away from my dad,” the little girl wrote, displaying a maturity beyond her years.
The teacher, at first, could not comprehend what to do. Finally she consulted the principal and the counsellor. The parents were called in for counselling and asked to live apart till they could resolve the situation and redeem respect for her father in the girl’s heart.
When consulted, parental consultant Payel Ghosh said, “It is good that at least the student felt comfortable with the atmosphere of the school that she did not hesitate to write those things in an essay.”
“The girl's act cannot be dismissed as childish,” said psychologist Jayranjan Ram.“She vented her pent-up feelings through this essay, which she could not do in any other way so far.”
