A white chalk
A black board
A mean teacher
A man-god
Canes and belts
Strokes and lashes
Tears and blood
Casts and patches
Slaps and kicks
A vile senior
Wounds and bruises
A broken junior
Are we hear to learn
or to be abuse?
Tell me when un- sparing the rod
Meant breaking the child.

In European countries especially the United States, I hear so much fuss about bullying in high schools, but in Nigeria, nobody is making a fuss about the practical terror junior students face in our secondary schools. The beatings, the the outrageous punishments, the breaking of self esteem, the lose of self confidence and the likes, our children suffer in schools where parents pay their had earned money to have their children educated. Some student have even lost their lives to the inhumane treatments meted out on them.
Yet nobody says a word, nobody cares.
