A mother is demanding a full investigation after her teenage son was allegedly assaulted by a teacher at the Princess Margaret School, leaving him with facial swelling and requiring medical attention.
The incident reportedly occurred last Thursday when the student went to speak with his form teacher about a previous suspension. The teacher allegedly accused him of inappropriate contact and reacted by striking him across the face.
The student is said to have returned to his classroom following the altercation. His mother later discovered that his face was swollen and contacted the school’s administration. When she met with the principal and assistant principal the following day, they reportedly had no prior knowledge of the incident.
A meeting was later held, and the student was instructed to prepare a written report on what had taken place. The mother sought medical attention for her son and has expressed concern that the teacher acted without verifying the facts before taking physical action.
Lambert is calling on the Ministry of Education to conduct a thorough investigation. She maintains that no teacher has the right to physically assault a student, especially over an unconfirmed allegation.

This is bullshit!!! She strike him in the face smh lady your lucky your calling for justice I would a find her an beat her down
Very likely that the student committed the infraction and received the unfortunate consequence for his action. Why did he not indiignantly report the matter to the Head and/or the Deputy Head immediately following the incident, especially knowing, as he claimed, that he was innocent!? It is obvious too, that he did not immediately inform his mother who “later discovered that his face was swollen” So now in typical Antigua fashion, the student is about to be elevated to martyr status and the mother will no doubt milk her fifteen minutes of fame for all that it’s worth. Yes Johnny was a good little boy, a good little boy was he…… I wonder just how many of mommy’s good little boys are currently dead or serving time up at 1735ì!
