If you like , don't do anything possible to escape poverty .

Private school teachers are indeed suffering in this country. The way the proprietors treat them is sometimes worse than slavery

There's a private school in Ikorodu side where the proprietor always frowns whenever teachers want to go home after school closes by 5pm. If he wants to call a meeting, the meeting won't start until after 5pm and will last nothing less than 2 hours.

Your rhetoric is wack!

A police man has every legal right to shoot at you if you approach with violence, so what are you saying?

If the teacher was a police man, he would have been justified to shoot the child.

toboizilla:
You never thought before, so you wont understand.
I dont know the principles of the school, If the school allowed me as a teacher to discipline the child, I certainly will else i will report to the school disciplinary team.

Would you take your child to a school where there is no discipline ?

Which one is the man walked up calmly to the teacher. He spoke angrily, walked up to the teacher but the slap was what I didn't expect. It was out of way especially because the teacher had apologised. Now the bass voice you heard isn't the JSS2 students voice. Its the Principals voice who I personally know and can recognise even from sleep. Don't be typing trash and saying what you don't know. Worst still the Principal didn't make any attempt to stop the man from hitting the teacher .The woman's anger was prompted by she not knowing Mr Makundu was recording the incident. This is also totally wrong from the Principal. Its was an internal crisis. Why record people without their consent? Its a right violation. Then posted on external platform(social media). Afterall they're not the students attending Starville. It was the fact that the woman realised they were been recorded and the Principal shouting to beat the teacher more that infuriated her which was also wrong for her to have joined in the slapping scene. Watch the video again.
Now my biggest blame goes to the Principal. Immediately the man slapped the teacher, he should have ran towards the man to stop him. What if the teacher passed out and died or something? Principal will be accessory to this incident.
Now the school suspended teacher(meaning school accepted he was wrong and the trigger) and expelled student(also school believe he was wrong too). The school should've sacked the teacher and also expelled the student to create a balance. Afterall the teacher was the trigger from the word GO. Both cause and effect should've received 50percent each punishment! Simple! Even the Principal beats too. Its not new in this school. How won't the teachers slap and beat when Principal does same?
The school's policy on discipline needs immediate review to cover up the gap of physical contact during discipline. There are actually worse punishments than beating or slapping...lol!
However in all, everyone was wrong.
Student...wrong; parents ...wrong; teacher....wrong; school....wrong. Its a case of four wrongs don't make a right!

It's your type that support all sorts of bad behavior by these kids.

So that gives him the right to push his teacher Is that what you are saying? This generation is messed up.

An alleged incident at *Starville School in Jahi, Abuja🙆🏼‍♂️*

.A teacher claimed he slapped a student for reportedly pushing him twice. Later, during a meeting with the principal and the parents, the situation escalated when the parents began slapp!ng the teacher back too 😭💔.

• That's what poverty has reduced the teaching profession to.

*The uncouth and untrained child becomes more arrogant in class; at the effrontery of rudely pushing the teacher again in the nearest future.*

• So terribly pathetic and the ministry of education will see this and will not doing anything about it

What are your views ??

EDGEof2MORO:
so the teacher had no other means to discipline the student than to slap the child?

I support the parent slapping the hell out of the teacher. this nonsense physical abuse must stop. If the teacher is a champion of slapping people that disrespect him in his own house, they should leave that behaviour at the gate when the step into the school.

Originalsly:
Since you are about rights .... does the teacher have the right to slap the student? You slap someone you should be expecting the person ... especially a male to retaliate... except if the slap is from the parent.

EDGEof2MORO:
i do not condone physical violence from anyone! You can be the president of Nigeria, you have no right to slap my child.

Listen, there are many ways to discipline a disobedient child that does not involve physical violence. Times have changed and this barbaric way of beating ourselves in the name of training has got to stop. Are you trying to tell me that it was the beatings you endured as a child that made you a millionaire today?

themanderon:
I pity you for you know not what you are doing. Solomon in the book of Proverbs said spare the rod and spoil the child. He also said that a child you fail to discipline would bring shame And disgrace to you in future. Do you know better than him? He also said foolishness abound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction drives it far from him.
The reason we are having so much moral decadence in today's world is that people felt they were wiser than the people of old but the results we are having today is a generation of godless, mindless and morally bankrupt youths who dare things we never imagined during our time yet they are getting away with it.
I see the effects of not punishing children adequately in all these western countries. Even in South Africa here the result is teenage pregnancy, rebellion, drug addiction and all sorts of reprehensible acts.
We will surely not like what's coming with our thoughtless actions.

HacheNoire:
You nailed it!

Those wannabe’s want to act and sound western but forgetting that same countries churn out more nuisance’s than they can never imagine.

All in the name don’t touch my kids, many kids have lost it to great extent that their own parents can’t even control them. You will be astonished to find a 18 year old who lacks the very basics of manners and etiquette .

Of you don’t want anyone to touch your child, home school him. Don’t put the burden of “Don’t touch my child” on teachers.

They tell you there are many ways to discipline a child than flogging the hell out of his soul. Look at the crip of kids we churning out today? Look at their life style, disrespect and even disbelief in hardwork and patiently climbing the ladder to success.

Parents are the root cause of Nigeria’s problems. Bad parenting is the root cause of EVERY societal menace in our country.

themanderon:
In fact I was discussing with the mother of one of these reprehensible youths this evening. When she was a child I was warning and trying to correct that girl but the mother was not totally appreciative of my efforts. She felt I was being too hard.
Now what is happening? The girl has grown wayward. Doesn't respect and appreciate her mother and now the same mother complains to me about the said girl. It's just crazy.

EDGEof2MORO:
well done



I have taught in the past so I know what it's like to deal with difficult kids in school. If you give me an example of a school without discipline, then i can give you a more definite answer.



not surprised. the typical Nigerian has no regard for human life so it is perfectly ok to say you will support a police officer who shoots someone that is violent.

I am sorry you are thinking this way. If you don't want your child to be disciplined keep him in your house. Train him however you wish but don't cry when he turns into what you don't like in future.

If the parents trained the child well then the child will almost always be well behaved at school. If you support a teacher slapping your child in the name of discipline ... that's on you. And we wonder why some parents allow their children to be brutalized by teachers ... at times leading to death.

brain54:
Well, his actions are inconsistent...

He should have thought his actions through to the end. And if the parents decide to hit him he shouldn't stand there like a coward unable to defend himself.

He was even shaking like a leaf while explaining his reason for slapping the kid.

You can't be a brave hero when dealing with a minor and suddenly start shaking when a bigger bully comes along.


All of them are bullies by the way... from the kid, teacher and parents. Just the biggest bully got his way!

He met his Waterloo...
Why slapping the child in the first place.. a stick would have been better..
