The Primary School child was given 100 lines for not doing her homework

An Alicante teacher, in the sixth level of the Juan Bautista Llorca primary school in the city, who set 100 lines for an 11 year old pupil who did not do her homework faces charges in court of ‘ill-treatment’ and of ‘harassment’.

The girl had to write ‘Debo hacer lo que me manden’ 100 times.
The denuncia, placed against the teacher by the child’s father, alleges that the pupil had to do the lines in class time, and was so humiliated by the experience and being told to face the wall she ended up vomiting. The family is demanding 1,000 € in compensation in the case.

UGT-PV union spokesman, Francisco Crespo, described the charge as ‘very exagerated’ and ‘out of place’.

At the oral hearing held in Alicante on Thursday however the judge considered there was a case to be heard.
