In the video, which appears to be taken from a cellular phone by one of the learners in the class‚ the teacher is screaming at a pupil, using inappropriate language.  She also questions the pupil on where his book and notes are.

Facebook users shared their views:

Steven Jagga commented; “Female teachers in an all boy school have every right! People in SA need to stop playing victim! If she went off at my son I say, give that woman a bells! Harden up!”

Tatiana Valente said, “I don’t blame the teacher.”

Leigh du Preez commented; “Trying to take something off the internet is like trying to take wee out of the pool. I saw the video. Wow! That teacher lost it! Very undignified and I’m not surprised the school doesn’t want that video spread.”

Caroline Booysen commented; “You don’t think the teacher may have been provoked? Pushed to breaking point I’d say.”

The NEWS has taken the decision to not publish the video based on our own integrity as the visuals do not add value to the story but rather focuses on the audio content containing inappropriate language.
