@olumax3028, “Let’s get something straight. It’s my job to train my children, it’s your job to teach them. If you decide to do my job with yours, me and you will have problem.”
@SONof_AYELOJA, “Your boy is allowed to put his hands on the teacher by pushing him, but the teacher isn’t allowed to slap your boy to caution him. The moment the wife also slapped the teacher, I already saw where the child learned the habit from.”
@AseneBangoura83, “The teacher is way too respectful and sheepish to be a man and these attributes are products of poverty. In that moment he was slapped, he considered the consequences of losing his job to retaliation. Hunger, house rent, children responsibility. All these thoughts perplexed him.”
The incident has raised questions about discipline and the roles of educators and parents in schools.
