882. Chennai schools

The Chennai shools offer top education but they run their schools allowing system of shaming and attract teachers who exploit the unsecure teenagers and some of the teenagers take sexual advantages of the teenage students.

As result many of the students felt that it was their fault that the teachers touched them in an inappropriate way and in some cases even went further.

Now former students call for a reform.

Until this has happened it is safe to say that it cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.

662. The Lucton School

The Lucton School might have provided decent education and had been around for many years. However it the male student got the attention of now convicted David Panter who groomed seven pupils into sexual activity, things could look very bad despite getting fine papers in the end.

The school administration did not act for all too long. It could not have been fun to study there coming this unwanted attention.

Later a person named Michael Carrigan was jailed for having abused children over the Internet, but this time the student body was spared.
