  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    The two deserve to be arrested for taking the law into their hands and beating the Teacher but these Teachers should be careful the way they treat the children under their charge.

    The teacher and the perpetrators of the act must be arrested and an amicable solution found.

    did you read the story well? the said school is not in the town. those ladies and the boy must be sent to prison for like 6 months. this are some of the reasons why teachers refuse postings to some places across the country.

  • CARDINAL 10 years ago

    I have already said those thugs need to be punished.

    Do 11 yr olds manage to get to school by themselves? If so why is it suddenly so dangerous when a teacher sends
    her.

    Yes, 11 year olds get to school but are you aware if something happen to this girl this Teacher and the whole school can be sued and the Teacher can be criminaly prosecuted? Most of you people commenting here live in Europe o ...

    What an irresponsible thing to say. Where is your 'head'? If Rawlings 'taught' you how to disrespect laws and ethics, where is your brain to help you act ethically and lawfully? Why is it always somebody's fault?

  • Issah Mubarak 10 years ago

    they should put them on remand for two weeks to serve as a deterrent to others who have that intentions.

  • Nana Kusi 10 years ago

    They should be made to realize their real size by the law. THE TEACHER should be respected in Ghana. Can any one go to the office of a Doctor, Lawyer or M.P to assault him/her?

    This barbariic and uncultured behaviour should not be compromised.This culprits must be brought to book.

    I totally agree with you. Such barbaric acts should not go unpunished at all. I would prefer tougher sentences to serve as a lesson to all.

  • Kofi Wiafe-Sekyere 10 years ago

    But the teacher did not send the child to the shop to buy anything for her personally. Sending the child was part of the learning so why beat her? It's true that 'a teacher's reward is in heaven'. Teacher don't give up the go ...

  • Kwame Obonti 10 years ago

    The practice of teachers sending students on errands (except when it is for a class project) should have been stopped long ago. We were all victims of this stupidy in the 60s and the 70's.

  • General Bugov 10 years ago

    Irrespective of what previous feud existed, attacking a teacher at school is an abomination and the attackers must be severely punished to serve as a deterrent to others. They must also be fined to compensate the teacher.
