THE Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) president Martin Lum Kin said teachers should be trained to de-escalate situations in the classrooms. He was responding to questions from Newsday surrounding incidents of violence at schools.
Police visited Arima North Secondary school and addressed the students at an assembly on September 11, a day after an altercation between a teacher and a student ended in a vicious hair-grabbing fight.
The brawl between the female teacher and female student was captured on video by students and uploaded to social media.
