All three parties, Principal,Parent and Teacher are wrong on this occasion.
The one, I am much concerned about is the role of the principal.
This matter should never have gotten to this stage, you are not just a figure head, you are your school's first representative and its leader.

To allow this incident escalate in the first point to this stage shows a lack of understanding of the basic roles you are to fulfill as a principal.

Its a shame for me.

There is a reason we have a school counsellor, behaviour assessment for both teachers and students.
Conflict resolution and legal and constructive means to enforce obedience and correction.

This matter has been ongoing for a while as it seems.

All parties here are wrong and the principal sorry to say, is to be blamed.

For context, I worked in a school where issues regarding teachers and students conflict are handled by the school counsellor after a proper investigation and the information has been passed to the principal herself who is always an active part of the investigation.

There are always constructive and better means to go around this things.

I also blamed the principal for not protecting their staff but if all that is reported is true, they said the principal recorded the video. That is one good thing I can commend the principal for. The thing with powerful people is that they get carried away by their might so maybe the principal is helpless (it is still wrong sha) and rather than do anything, they recorded it.

This is why people in the so-called abroad pick up the phone immediately. They record the incident because the person committing the crime go explain taya. That school needs to review their procedures. Disciplinary procedures, security and meeting procedures.


We still have a lot of baby parents from the comments I can read here. I read every page here and remembered that even though I was a good student, I got into trouble and absolved myself of blame then. So the people commenting about children are absolutely right, children do not usually accept responsibility because they don't have one yet. It is best to investigate what a child says as a parent instead of reacting emotionally. In your response as a parent, you have to remember that the kids are watching you too. I pity these parents because as they have done this, e fit be the boy uncle go chop beating tomorrow and the boy will expect the parents to defend him. Pikin wey de no train for inside, na for outside dem go teach am.

If the child was in Martial Arts, they will teach him the importance of discipline. It is not that you cannot react with your power but wisdom is more profitable to direct in situations of life. Wisdom is the teacher not responding to the beating but having the video as proof. Wisdom is the parent knowing they can beat the teacher but restraining themselves from that because of the child in front of them, the respect to the school, respect to the person and respect to the authorities. They could have spent that money suing the school after the incident but they chose the money miss road highway. Wisdom is the principal recording their behaviour and letting them know they are on camera. I heard when the parents were reminded and they replied like do your worst. Na the result of the worst be dis.
