CURRENTLY, the Ministry of Education is involved in a national consultation on whether corporal punishment in our school system should be retained or abolished and from all reports these engagements have received positive responses from both parents and teachers. What is positive about adults assaulting children in schools who are not theirs to begin with?
In today’s environment, many adults feel frustrated about something or the other where most will find the easiest of prey to channel their anger and frustrations.
Corporal punishment is assault any which way it’s looked at which none can deny.
Corporal punishment is just a fancy word for “assault” and the issues should have been dead and buried many moons ago.
Sooner rather than later, an innocent, peace-loving parent will find him/her self in hot water with the laws of the land when a teacher would lay a beating on an innocent child.
My teacher did it to me and my nephew’s teacher did it to him.
That day when I saw what a teacher had done to my nephew it angered me to the point of boiling over, wanting to take the law into my very own hands.
His teacher did admit that it was her anger and frustration she took out on my nephew since her man had walked out on her the night before.
In my case, my teacher wanted to have an affair with my girlfriend so he hit me viciously.
To this day this is taking place with adults.Ban this assault on schoolchildren once and for all I appeal again.
