A Lagos-based school, Bookworkshop Schools has been called out by an unnamed woman who accused the school of sending her daughter back home alone for resuming to school by 8:30am.
In a video shared by an X user, Oyindamola on his personal page, the woman stated that the school had sent her child, Favour, home for resuming school late not minding whether she was home or not.
The lady said, “Guys, I am calling out this school for sending favour home because she resumed to school by 8:30am, they don’t know if i was not at home or not not for any reason but because she came late.
“If i was the one that drove Favour to school, i am definitely sure they would not throw her out of the school. If she came with the school bus, sometimes the school bus won’t get to school until 10am and they will definitely not throw her out because of that.
“And i called the principal immediately Favour got home because i was shocked, i was about leaving the house, the man started insulting me and dropping his phone.
“I had to come to the school and the school is still doing the same thing.”
Reacting to this video, some X users have shared their experience and opinion about the matter.
An X User, H. E. Perekeme who tweets as iamsunnytheking wrote “How can you be attempting to physically abuse a school fee paying parent??? Like how??? This is a mess. Let her make a video, as a school, release a press statement and tell your own side of the story clearly. Video na gun? Why are they so afraid?”
Oluwafisayomi_Arike who writes as OluwafisayomiKD said “Had it been she has denied seeing the child and ask them to find her. They would have learnt the hard way. Yeye people 🙄.”
Another X user with the username, AY Nana said, “A responsible school would call the parent first, you don’t send a child home for coming late.
“People just open school and hire anything, no training, no orientation or whatsoever. That they even touched the lady is enough to flag this school and sue them, but we know how that works.”
Another X user, Haphyz who identifies as Iamfizzle123 also wrote, “Guys I can tell you the lady is not capping the school bus usually get to school late.”
The Apple of God’s eye who writes as ugo_himself in X wrote, “Quick one on what happened. This woman came to the school trying to explain why her daughter came to school that time instead of the principal to listen to her, he just spoke to her rudely and jammed the door, which got her furious. Why will you treat a fee paying parent that way? Let’s not forget that assuming the child came with a school bus, they won’t send her out of the school even if the bus arrive around 12. All this stuff happened at the present of the students. Just imagine your child watching how the teachers and a parent are fighting and abusing each other outside.Typical nonsense.”
