Physical Punishment in Schools/College
<p>A sports teacher slapped my friend twice in the face in front of the class for not attending the sports class.</p>

<p>Should this be allowed? Tomorrow we are going to be on a strike so what points and facts in the light of law I should put on the table.</p>

<p>The school-teacher-student relationship has historically often been given some of the same privileges and legal exemptions that are granted to the family-parent-child relationship, corporal punishment among them.</p>

<p>All I can find on Pakistani law <a href="http://www.corpun.com/rules2.htm#pakistan" rel="nofollow">suggests corporal punishment is legal but discouraged</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>At federal level, corporal punishment is lawful in schools under
  Article 89 of the Penal Code. Ministerial directives in the different
  provinces have instructed teachers not to use it, in some cases even
  in private schools ... but these are clearly not enforced in practice.</p>
