EDUCATION IS NOT ABOUT SPANKING THE CHILD.

What has gotten to our norms
Of taking cane out of the four
Walls of the classroom in cannot
Impact knowledge under a fearful environment
Spanking or flogging a child.

All because of the child
Not able to comply to what is being taught
At that moment in the classroom
Of what end will what is being taught
Gets into the brain talkless of applying it.

To real life outside the wall of learning
There has been video circulate
The whole online space
Of an educator beating a pupil
Because of the number six during numeracy class.

To what ends is that in education
Fine spear the road and spoil the child
But to what end it is I saw the video
At the sight of watching I develop
Goosebumps it ran through my spines.

NB: With focus of a teacher beaten a pupil today at a school in Ikorodu.
