#Boy needs juvenile refinement
The recent incident involving a class 11 student from Anakkara Government Higher Secondary School in Palakkad, who issued a death threat to the school principal after his phone was confiscated, highlights the alarming rise of indiscipline among students.
Despite the student's suspension, his subsequent readmission without proper corrective measures raises serious concerns about the enforcement of discipline and the role of juvenile courts in Kerala. Such a severe act should warrant a period of juvenile refinement, emphasizing the need for behavioral correction before reintegration into the school. The.higher education minister's concern that the boy should be kept in hold is out of the odinary and smacks of suspicion.
The state's negligence in controlling the spread of drugs and alcohol, which has been a major influence in such incidents, further exacerbates the situation. The responsibility lies with the state to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment, and such lapses only encourage further misconduct among students.
