And so it was written (Pt. 2): THOU SHALL NOT SCRIBBLE IN THINE NOTEBOOK!

I have never gone to school in India, but it seems like a lovely place to get an education. But one thing they will not tolerate: Scribbling in notebooks. So be warned- if you enroll in class in India, for your own health I would advise you to not do anything resembling scribbling. Because the teacher may beat you to death if you break this age old rule.

A 14-year-old boy died after his teacher allegedly beat him in class for scribbling in his notebook, police said Wednesday.

"My son's fault was that he was scribbling in his notebook" and writing over his teacher's signature, the boy's father, Satya Prakash, told the Hindustan Times.

The teacher, whose name was not released, then beat the boy until he collapsed, the father was quoted as saying.

Pretty standard punishment for scribbling. And the Education Minister certainly seems concerned:

"There is no scope for corporal punishment in our schools," Education Minister Arvinder Singh told the newspaper. "If the teacher is found guilty, I will take strict action."

Uhhhhhhhh... So I guess "no scope" translates to "it's cool to beat your student to death for pretty much anything whatsoever since there are no laws really preventing this."? And I thought the kid doling out hugs at school was a menace to society. Scribbling shall not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form. DEATH THE THE SCRIBBLERS!
