Can a teacher slap my child?
In today’s episode, we discuss the legal remedies a parent has against a teacher and school when their child is subjected to corporal punishment.
My child was slapped in school!
Since that day she has had hearing problems which started presenting itself 3 days later. She is having problems sleeping and cannot lay on the side of her head comfortably. The very day of the incident, she had a mark on her face; that’s how I got to find out what happened to her. I called her teacher and she said it was because she was not able to answer a basic question. I have taken my child to hospital and I am waiting on the medical report this morning. The school headteacher has declined to address the issue. So what I want to know is, can a teacher slap my child?
