    Glad the truth came out, but this must have been stressful for everyone involved. Hoping lessons are learned.

    Everybody at school knew Eliakim didn’t do it. The teacher moved too fast and embarrassed him in front of everyone. Now it’s awkward in that class

    The teacher had no damn right to hit the person child. That’s what the principal is there for

    I’ve worked in education for over 30 years, and I can tell you these are the stories that help drive reform. Kudos to Antigua.News for not sweeping this under the rug like others would

    How about if the mother get a fair chance to slap back the teacher, and how was this teacher dressed ? Why the kids wanted to touch her butt? Was it because she was dressed inappropriatly? She needs an adult slap back!

    Real

  • Rashiona October 30, 2025, 7:36 AM

    As an educator this is wrong! Several students in the class and you slapped one boy? Not unless this boy had issues of the same nature before.

  • Antigua Surf October 30, 2025, 7:28 AM

    I will never understand the teacher. Okay let’s assume he did touch your behind. Why did you slap him? Why not report the matter directly to the principal and let it be dealt with from there? I believe she has some kind of personal hate towards the young man. I’d love to know who this teacher is truly. Mr: Greene left and it’s all going over board. What does Rosa Ladoo has to say on this? She been quiet…..

    Clearly you didn’t watch the video…….

    As parents, we trust teachers with our kids every day. This kind of incident shakes that trust. If my son came home with his face swollen, I’d be in the Ministry the next morning too!

    This is why I always tell my children to speak up when something isn’t right. Imagine that poor boy carrying that shame when he did nothing! The teacher should have known better than to strike a student without proof. This could have ended differently what if that slap caused serious injury? I support the mother 100%. There needs to be consequences.”

    Some of them dress so lawless and knowing fully well they are teaching young men change some of them dress code and things would be better

  • Informed citizen October 29, 2025, 8:10 PM

    The real issue isn’t the accusation it’s the teacher’s behavior. Schools must protect students from abuse

  • Tell me October 29, 2025, 7:49 PM

    Sometimes the teacher’s dressing is out of hand everything is showing

  • Tromos October 29, 2025, 7:41 PM

    Teachers are under pressure, yes but discipline must never come before due process. A simple pause to verify what happened could’ve saved a lot of pain

  • Gacia October 29, 2025, 7:03 PM

    WOW so it really wasnt the youtman who touch she behind eh,.

  • Lucky Dubie October 29, 2025, 6:40 PM
