    Allowing corporal punishment in our educational institutions will further entrench and legistimise the use of violence. I am leading the cultural change by enforcing the policy against corporal punishment in our educational institutions and this must be followed faithfully.pic.twitter.com/1B8mZAVss5

        This is quite a good sentiment, however how do we "discipline the reality"? What new "rod of correction" will we apply to prevent us from spoiling our children? We must be cautious that when we throw away old values we don't adopt new things that do not work.

        Definitely agree that violence encourages violence - corporate punishment is schools must stop - I thought that done with long time. It is more like students beating teachers these days 🥶pic.twitter.com/EDcXaSG1va

        It's a good step forward. There are countries around the world that do not use corporal punishment in their education system and their crime rate is low. Let's look to those best practices and work as a nation to see how best we can support and work with our children and youth.

        With what do you plan to replace it? Why the green tie? Still on the campaign trail? You are not representing the JLP on this occasion but the country; I think.

        That is why we have so much violence that plagued our country today. People think everything should resort to violence for a resolution. It’s been building up from Jump Street.
