Mixed reactions after punishment at Vihiga School

A video of the punishment at the school shared by Channel 7 News TV EA shows a teacher holding the reluctant student by the waist and forcing her to bend and smash the phone that was already on the ground.

The girl finally squatted before the phone and started smashing it, and the hawk-eyed teacher watched her until the end.

Kenyans who saw the video shared from the Vihiga-based school had mixed reactions about the act, with some saying she was too harsh and others thinking that it served the young girl right as they are not supposed to carry phones to school.

Some people also thought that such punishments would strain the relationships between teachers and students.

They advocated for the teachers to take the phones until the students went home as they cost a lot of money.
