Kerala Higher Secondary School Director issued an unusual circular the other day to all school heads regarding school romance and indiscipline.
Admitting that love affairs of higher secondary "students of opposite gender" were "creating problems in schools, often inviting stern intervention from teachers," the circular directed principals and educators to be cautious not to push students to suicides through public reprimand.
"Sometimes, the punishment imposed by teachers to refrain students from mistakes hurt their individuality and lead them to suicides," the circular noted.
The circular also laid down some guidelines to teachers to deal with the problem.
