Parlo Subramoney: Children must be disciplined. If there is an issue between a teacher and learner, they must find an effective way to resolve it. Violence is not the answer.
Tahvier Cheema: Parents should discipline their children and take note of their behavior. Teachers should have the upper hand and learners should respect their teachers.
Francois Reichmann: Disciplining children will help to resolve this issue. Schools can maybe arrange for extra security and they can do like a body search on the children before they enter the premises.
