Dhaka, Feb. 24 -- Common sense is fake. a blatant lie. It's not common at all!

If there's one thing in the world we're guaranteed - apart from death and taxes - it's the lack of common sense. Many minds are so small apparently they cannot accommodate it.

The one place one would hope and expect to find it in glowing abundance is in our educational establishments, but that is not the case. Take corporal punishment as a prime example.

Political leaders worldwide declare children to be the future of their nation. If that's the case, beating them just doesn't make sense.

It's a scientifically proven fact that children learn much faster in a friendly, happy, fun atmosphere - one that embraces friendship, encouragement, and appreciation.

Si...
