Reactions as a teacher is arrested in Lagos
@EbituPromise said:
"This one was caught on camera, there are many that was not caught on camera. Teachers are trained to have patience with kids. You shouldn’t be beating a kid like a common criminal."

"That's commendable. No normal woman will do what the woman did to the child."
@AGINAS said:
"Most of these teachers are going through a lot at home and they will just carry their frustration come dey punish students as if they're the cause of their problem. NJ."

Is corporal punishment okay for controlling school children?
Experts in the field of education think that beating children does not really serve any good purpose.
In a research carried out by Katrina A. Korb and Danga Luka Amos, teachers who were sampled said beating did not help stop bad behaviour in their students.
The researchers wrote:
"Since most teachers believed that beating has many disadvantages, including that it can lead to stubbornness in pupils, beating should be discouraged in schools. Instead, alternative disciplinary measures that are more effective should be used by teachers in schools. Experts in education have identified many other disciplinary interventions that may be more effective than beating, such as setting clear rules, counselling, and negative punishment, such as taking away something enjoyable that children have earned."
