That was high handed of her no doubt and it's unacceptable. She remained calm and collected all through as she was assisting the pupil with his work which shows that it wasn't done with a malicious intent.
If you allow tribal prejudice to becloud your reasoning and you go on the vengeful mission, you can create a problem where there's non.

It's easy to judge another person when you're not in their shoes. I believe the teacher must have had her record in the school. If it says she's a habitual brute, then it can be concluded that she isn't fit for the job but if not, then she should be queried and left to continue her job. Working with kids can be tough. Passing through the Nigerian schools, things like this aren't rare to find. It shouldn't be condoned but what I saw in the video isn't a scenario that warrants a state punishment yet.

budaatum:
I would fully support you and your law.

nedu666:
I believe this is a private school. The person recording this video should have intervened by confronting the teacher and reporting to the head mistress. If nothing is done, then she can report to lagos state government. But then again for those of us that went to military secondary school. This one na moi moi.

budaatum:
My own mother taught me to read and was much worse. I wouldn't let her teach my own children that way though, because, as jumper524 said, the world has evolved, and there are better ways to teach even what you call "slow to learn", which could be because of bad teaching.

Yujin:
Thank God the video is there and everyone can see what exactly happened. Yes, she was heavy handed which was very wrong. But seeing that it was during a one on one teaching session which probably was the teacher going extra mile to help him get his work right, I as his parent won't be too mad at her. He didn't sustain any injury nor was he crying as to show excessive pain. This shows that there was a level of restraint from her although her actions are unacceptable.
There was no shouting, insults or cursing from the teacher. This shows she was still collected and in control of the situation despite not getting the expected result from the kid. She's at fault though and more should be demanded from her but it shouldn't be an overkill.

Wallade:
Like you have never been punished with a cane or slap before.

achorladey:
It's a pity many teachers don't know or don't want embrace the modern trends as it applies to ensuring learning take place without unnecessary harm to the pupil or student body.

Nothing tribal about anything. A horrible crime was committed and the law needs to be fully applied .

ceejay80s:
let's see the original video,
the one I watched was fast forwarded

GloriousGbola:
Have you stopped to wonder about the fact that Nigerians usually respond only to violence? That the only way Nigerians will do the right thing is if they are threatened with beating?

This is where it starts from. This is why Nigerians have to be whipped to stay in a queue. Because we have been raised like animals from childhood, like animals we can only respond to a stick and cannot be counted on to use common sense.

Ishilove:
I've seen the original video, which is why I'm not exactly outraged. Yujin perfectly described what happened. A teacher was using an outdated teaching method on a young pupil.
