We have a serious problem in our hands. I have seen several videos with school kids beating up and chasing teachers. It's heartbeaking indeed. Slapping a child cannot be condoned but who protects the teachers?
Most people be talking about manners but if punishment is abolished and you still apply it how do we deal with you. Why freedom of speech is being infringed but we don't talk about that, why is the kid being denied to use their mother tongue?
It is, the teacher has a role to play but parents play a bigger part. In terms of behaviour, parents must model a child from it's tender age. They don't have to wait for schools to play their part
Media houses who report on Twitter activities should pay the originator.
When a tweet makes it in life. 😴
the slap wasn't good at all but the behavior of the kid wooow i think she should have apologize to the teacher let parents teach their kids respect
The teacher could ve handle better though,I can bet my last 10 rand that she doesn't klap her children and even Anele Mdoda herself ll never klap her kids like that,in fact how many of you can beat their kids like that ?
She didn't take orders frm her teacher. Why was the cellphone on the desk during lesson. This child is nonsense. Ischwensi
well said anele
My sentiment exactly. Discipline is the responsibility of the parents and starts at home.
The teacher was really looking for a fight
So the teacher has the right to assault a child because the child does not have 'manners'!
This child is back chatting when she's suppose to keep quiet when the teacher is reprimanding her, she pushes her desk towards her teacher like that....naa this is downright disrespectful and illmannered. Parents should drop charges & work on childs behaviour
I remember the white girl who got a womb issue after being kicked in the stomach for a similar attitude. I agree with you Anele, the kids need discipline.
Anele...you go and teach and see how you cope.
My teacher sister was telling me gore, in a situation like that, you just walk away from leaner, no teacher is allowed to raise hands to leaner, that is immediate dismissal But for her it's just a disciplinary hearing, why? Because........
says who by the way? she lie
So this white lady was not taught to control emotions by her white parents. Anele yes kids misbehave in school but teachers have to be calm
Shuthi nithi kulungile amadoda ashaye abantu besifazane uma befebile coz owesifazane uhluleka ukuziphatha ngalokho nithi mabashawe akananhlonipho
Ave bengixhaka abantu ngathi umuntu ehlukumeza ingane abantu bathi ingane yonile ngokungahloniphi manje lokho kusho ukuthi mayihlukunyweze
If she was your would you be talking exactly that
With everyone baying for the teachers blood, l wonder if the learner is remoseful, as she was allegedly provoked while using her cellphone in class
True.. and teachers are not social wokers
Parents are no longer responsible in teaching discipline at home, these are reasons they are blaming teachers to instill manners to their kids...
This child is a factory default... her parents are failing her
True
So Anele is an expect that's why her opinion is gospel. Siyaqhelwa apha!
I think The complaining persons blaming the teacher should remove their children from school,if they have any,and teach them at the comfort of their own homes.Teachers are human beings too.
Nah that teacher dropped her level too. She is not immune. She could have been an adult not behave like a brat too.! Now we can talk about it takes a village to raise a child or nizilibele uba ningobani. Plus nabo Anele who are here browning their noses to the masters.
i think Anele is wrong. duty of teachers to teach and enforce. fact that their situation is difficult now does not mean teachers should be gangsta. important that teaching environment should be safe for both not one over the other.
Is it the teachers job to clap her
No wonder teachers are leaving the teaching profession. The abuse is too much.
A person's state of mind is mirrored in the reaction of a person. If the kid was mindless, she would have chokeslammed the teacher. She held back. Are we expected to tow the line just because someone has authority over us? I don't think so.
Anele so you are judging the kid for standing up against a bully of a teacher? For your information, standing up for one self has nothing to do with manners. It has to do with dignity. White black yellow, she had a right to react.
Being a teacher Young myself I don't condone corporal punishment. The problem is most parents are not involved in their children's education.when you call parent to come discuss their children's behaviour they don't come or if they come , they're coming to insult us
When we were young it was
Your child is a reflection of your parenting skills. If he/she respects you as a parent than he/she shouldn't have a problem respecting teachers with whom they spend a huge part of the day with.
That rat called a student had it coming she deserved it. These kids think teachers are their peers... If they dont want rules they must go home where they allowed to do as they please
True
True
Any parent who wants to outsource parenting duties to teachers must stop breeding period.
No teacher has a right to lay a hand no matter what, you have security at school, call them!! She should be fired that one.
So it is justifiable for the teacher to assault a child? In my view the teacher was out of order and allowed herself to be involved in a screaming match with the child. If the teacher felt the child needed discipline she should have reported the child.
People have failed as parents, what they are good at is to shift the blame.
Teacher pushed the desk first and shove phone in her breasts... she’s the one doing provoking and she’s an elder, doesn’t give a right to slap! She should’ve reported the child to principal or something then they can take step further not this! So anele wakhona uyanya
As much as teachers spend most of the time with kids, they must also teach them respect too,however parents must actually play a big role in teaching children manners as well
Kids at their adolescence stage like this can be provocative- and most us have been there . Any Teacher who can’t deal with that appropriately is in a wrong career. If she can’t deal this one teenager- how Many is she going slap 👋 before her retirement ?
Uyanya lo-Anele wakhona. The teacher simply failed to act her age. If what she says is anything to go by then I’d not have made it to age 30 because I was a very naughty child - I’d have been taken to the cleaners by ‘adults’ like her. So much for being an adult 🙃
Parents please heed these wise words...
The Teacher is wrong here. She shld've told the Learner to leave her class with her phone & not provoke the Learner lyk that.
Self control and restrain in the teaching environment is vitally important. You can reprimand without physically assaulting a child. There systems in place to handle difficult kids and physical assault is not one of them. The teacher failed to be mature enough not lose it
Yup. A child's behaviour is a reflection of their parent/ guardian's teachings
I agree, manners you must learn at home.
They’ll come for Anele because it’s a white teacher but she’s right.
I think the teacher could have handled the situation a lot better, but having said that the learner's behaviour was very bad and if she was my child i would be very embarrassed, hope her parents will discipline her in some way
Yes he's correct, a teacher must add to what has been thought by parents.
I for one wudnt allow my child to b humilliated lyk dat...she gets paid to teach not to smack down our kids
.... like clockwork Sowetan kwaaaaks
Discipline is one thing, assault another.
I'm glad that my kids knows where I stand when it comes to behavior at school
I;m with you there my sister
Very true, parents must work hard to teach kids morals.
She must be high on something! Teachers are the people who spend most of the time with the kids hence have to show them the right path with the help of the parents ofcourse but teachers hold an upper hand
I agree 1000%
Well ya di manners we will attend to it later. Let's attend mpama first
Teach ur kids respect “Finish” had she kept quiet as a learner and listened while being reprimanded for being wrong, this wouldn’t have escalated this far. I would do the same in this teachers shoes😶
What irks me the most is when these children are brought in front of a disciplinary committee ......and their parents try to defend their children's unruly behavior! It blows my mind!!!🤔😤
I hear no lies☝
People forget easily a learner stabbed a teacher to death, because of these kind of behavior by our kiss
Anele I couldn't have said it better 👌👌👌
Whose job is to teach teacher not to be violent with kids
On this one I agree with Anele
Correct and 120 % support you. This children don't have respect and manners
What does manners got to do with anything here. The teacher had no control of the situation period and in the process she traumatised other kids and humiliated this child.
I;m with there my sister
That’s utter non-sense that the teacher was wrong, I suspect people who say that don’t have kids, if you reprimand a child and pushes a table to you, do I really have to be emotionally matured , come on please , would definitely slap haaard
Qatar is looking for teachers n the pay n benefits are to die for. She must leave the country n go teach where she's appreciated.Those who have a fat lot to say against the teacher, well your kids can stay uneducated n ignorant. Good S A teachers are sought after tru out de world
It’s not their job to slap children around
It's not the teachers job to slap them as well
That teacher had no self control she was an emotional rack nje screaming and shouting that's not how u command respect
Can't be true , it takes a village to raise a child . Parents also needs to teach their kids manners , it's for their own good . You dnt wanna breed some nyaopes coz you confuse love for spoiling
Now the question is, if this was aneles child would she feel the same? It's easy to judge when u far from the situation
but again is not right for our children to be abused at school
But the teacher was justified in hitting that spoiled brat, the pushed the desk into the teacher and was acting in self defense
wat she said is true though
Government must implement cameras is lol classes to catch bad behavior
And why are we reading about Anele's opinion on a national news paper ? are you running out of stories to cover?
Mxm and the sad thing is dat the teacher is gonna get suspended for slapping the girl... Teaching is a horrible career
And it is a teachers responsibility to be more emotionally matured ...the teachers reaction was not necessary .Who is Anele to say that
I'm not surprised, anele is a lap dog of privilege beneficiary and primedia product. Unganya nyi if you were to hit my child like that, irrespective of mannered or ill-mannered. When it's man vs woman, there's no excuse, but when it's woman vs child we must find reasons? Tsek
if teachers dont do the job parents dont have time for, who will?
But the teacher has no right to use corporal punishment
Nah.
