Parents of a primary school, in the Arctic District of Patras, rioted over the action of a teacher to punish students in groups, because on Wednesday, during the presentation of progress grades… they made a fuss!

According to some of those who spoke to “Peloponnisos”, yesterday, it was announced during the morning “prayer” that during the first breaks the children will not be able to play, but are obliged to sit on terraces or in other areas, to eat or drink, without to stand up, play or run.

That is, they will sit like “little soldiers unheard, speechless and unsmiling”, and this is done as a “punishment”, as it was said.

The father was informed of what happened, contacted the Parents’ Association and a member of the Board of Directors confirmed the fact to him, telling him that this was done by order of the principal.

The issue was discussed a lot and everyone wondered if something like this constitutes… pedagogical punishment, since it was done in groups, with the result that students who had no part in the “commotion” also “paid” for it.

The matter is expected to reach, today, the Directorate of Primary Education of Achaia.
