@olumax3028, “Let’s get this straight. It’s my job to train my kids and it’s your job to teach them. If you decide to use your job to do my job, you and I will have a problem.”
@SONof_AYELOJA, “Your child can push the teacher, but the teacher cannot slap your child to warn him. The moment the wife slaps the teacher too, I can already see where the child learns this habit.”
@AseneBangoura83, “As a man, the teacher was too respectful, too shy, qualities that are the product of poverty. At that moment, he was slapped, and he thought about the consequences of losing his job and revenge. Hunger, rent, responsibility for the children. All these thoughts confused him.”
The incident raises questions about school discipline and the role of educators and parents.
