Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has said that his administration will not tolerate the negative trend of parents going to schools to harass teachers who discipline their children and wards.
The governor, said this when members of the Parents Teachers Association of public schools visited him at Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
He appealed to parents to allow their children to be taught noting that when discipline is removed from a child’s upbringing he/she cannot be well brought up.
He said, “Government is deserious to turn around the fortunes of our schools. Parents, please allow your children to be taught. I hear that some parents go to schools to molest teachers. This administration will not tolerate that. We cannot, in any way, condone indiscipline.
“When you remove discipline from a child’s upbringing, that child cannot be well brought up. So, when you bring your children to school, allow them to be taught.
“And to you teachers, when parents also bring their children, treat them like your children. There should not be any difference between your biological children and other children.“
