TAIF, 2 May 2004 — An elementary school teacher may face disciplinary action after making his class crawl across an outside area as a form of punishment, Okaz newspaper reported yesterday
Other students at the school were surprised to see the class of 29 crawling on their hands and knees under the heat of the afternoon sun. They thought that the students were practicing something.
One of the parents said that he took his son to hospital for injuries to his hands and knees. He was angry saying that he sent his son to school to get education, not to get punished like this.
Students complained to the school principal who promised to investigate the incident. He said if the teacher was found guilty, he would be punished according to the regulations.
