Some politics , few stories from the scatrred country

Hi all,
Many people would say '' is this really his first post?'' but , truly, it is.

I hope up forward you are going to find a smile or a rest in the English discussion board, as i intend to post every other day a new post.

Haja Nafesa is one of thousands who work on the streets making and selling tea to citizens in the capital Khartoum... One day as she started early in the morning making 'Ligiemat' for those early birds who struggle to fulfil a decent life, she heard someone who was crying . She looked at the direction where that sound came and found a teen age girl...... As a mother of three she went to her trying to comfort her ..... the girl explained how scared she was of going to school and that's was because her father couldn't afford the school fees - which was not her fault of course ....Haja Nafesa said to me later after she took the girl to school and spoke to teachers there about the problem '' the poor girl was shaking, imagining the teacher or whoever is going to whip ''punish'' her .......

MY question is
'' Do you think hitting a child encourages him/her to continue education?''
in other from:-

Is it neccessary to hit a pupil to help him understanding a lesson''


Note :-
I have been teaching for 11 years in Sudan and outside .....


Correction:-
scattered is the correct spelling for the word '' scatrrec '' in the above title..
sorry for that
