It is believed the boy was punished for not completing his homework
"Tomorrow (30 September), PPD will go to the school, we'll do a meeting with the headmaster, with the teacher, the parents, and the student for a resolution," said Misterine, reported The Borneo Post.
"What is certain, this teacher will be sent to counselling," she disclosed.
Misterine advised teachers to adhere to the rules of disciplining students, adding, "It is not in the rules for us to use staplers, that is one thing. It may be necessary for teachers to avoid harming their students for the purpose of educating."
