Under the article of “teacher rubs medicated oil on students” is a short article about a man and his daughter apparently hitting another female school student. Honestly, first of all hasn’t the country heard enough stories and incidences where parents get physically involved with other school children just because their children can’t fight their own battles?
Its about time where a general rule was made across the board for all schools where no parents are allowed to step into school grounds unless they are there for reasons such as seeing a teacher or picking their child up from school, even with that, the parents should be escorted by the schools security guard or by a teacher to and fro so that incidences like these don’t get repeated.
To think about it, it’s bad enough that the age group between the father and the student would probably be about 20 years apart, to top that up he is a MAN and the student is just a GIRL but yet he chooses to get physical with her. I don’t think he would like it if the situation was switched and the other girls parent had man handled his daughter now would he?
But then again, in the defense of the father, the article had only written about, in very brief description on what had taken place, God only knows what the girl would have done to provoke the parent till the point where he was forced to get physical with her. I’m pretty sure the parent was matured enough to think of other alternatives before deciding to get physical. But nevertheless, the bottom line is that the parent DID manhandle her and he should be charged no matter what for doing what he did. Lets not forget that the student is still a minor and shouldn’t be allowed to be manhandled by a person who is 20 years her senior.
To think about it, If the female student could start fighting with the other student INFRONT of her parent, IN the schools compound then it just proves how much respect she has and how undisciplined her upbringing is at home, and to say that her father got involved in the scuffle, again, it just proves how the upbringing at home is. The law should be tightened and a harsher punishment should be made before something worst were to happen, because not all parents would stop at just a slap.
