Pretoria - Partial relief is what the family of a 12-year-old Springvale Primary School learner have been left with after the teacher found guilty of assaulting their son was finally sentenced by the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court.
This follows her conviction of common assault by the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court in April this year regarding the incident which took place in February 2020. The altercation between the then grade 6 learner and the teacher was over the alleged theft of a bottle of sparkling water from another learner.The magistrate agreed with the state and questioned the teacher’s actions or method of disciplining the learner, as Boot's defence attempted to argue that the teacher's actions were in a bid to protect the learner from harming himself.
The uncle of the boy, who is not being named to protect the learner, said they were disappointed with how other education stakeholders did not treat the matter with any urgency or significance.

There are some awful teachers. At Valhalla Primary school my grade 1 teacher constantly called me a baby in front of all the class. On my 6th birthday I went upmto her table and proudly told her that I had turned 6. Smiling she said ' oh i have a present for you.' Naive I...
Flo_Letoaba Institutions like SACE9 continue to embarrass us... Many teachers lost their jobs and licenses to teach for doing that..
She deserve this punishment, these are the teachers who discourage children from attending school, they are bullies
Wow.... Quite a surprise to see my primary school mentioned as I sit here in Ottawa, Canada 40 years later! I still think of the place. I started in 1981, it was a brand new school. Ms. Werner was the principal. Crazy!
