19 children were injured
After the music teacher’s actions were announced, Kauno diena was contacted by a mother whose son is studying in the same class where the children’s hands were stabbed. The woman said the music teacher’s hands were stabbed by nineteen elementary school students last week.
The mother said there were 21 students in the fourth grade, two elementary school students were fired on the day of the accident and the remaining nineteen were lined up and the music teacher stuck five pencils in their palms or hands. The reason is that the fourth graders were very undisciplined and she could not teach the lesson.
“They released two, then locked the door to the classroom and stabbed the other nineteen with pencils. He cut those pencils and prepared them for the kids. Each of them starved five times and one for each. one was fired from the class. This kept them awake throughout the break, some of them were late for other lessons. The children did not want to shake hands, they asked not to stab. It felt like an execution where the kids they had to wait in line to get their hands stabbed. The teacher touched her hands, but some children turned their hands away. My son told me he also clenched his hands into fists because it hurt so much, the The heart of the pencil is broken “, said the mother of the elementary school child, the horror experienced by the children.
He disagreed with the principal’s assertion that it was a momentary decline in anger on the part of the teacher. “After all, the teacher specially prepared the pencils, lined up the children in a row. It didn’t last a minute. If it was instant, he could have raised his voice or grabbed a sweater, but here everything was thought of and had the time to prepare for that action, “said the elementary school student’s mother.
Didn’t you even apologize?
The mother noted that there were no complaints about the teacher mentioned earlier. It was at her home that some students took extra classes, so it was a big shock to everyone that this happened, so the kids were very shocked by the event.
“The children didn’t want to go to school the next day, they were scared, they didn’t know what would happen to them, so they told their parents,” said the mother of how the fourth-graders felt.
The children themselves complained to their parents about their injured hands after school. Some were barely able to speak, they were afraid, they showed their hands with pencil marks. The next day, the parents met with the music teacher, but received no apology.
“The parents had a confrontation with the teacher and she told us that she could not start the lesson for 20 minutes, the children were very undisciplined. But the teacher did not feel guilty, she did not apologize, she just said that perhaps he did the wrong thing, that he wanted to prove that even the teachers are suffering “, continued the mother.
She added that they are satisfied with the Veršvai Gymnasium itself, children like to attend classes, various activities are carried out. However, after this behavior of the music teacher, they don’t want this pedagogue to continue teaching both their class and other children. Parents want to prevent such incidents from happening again and for students to feel safe in the classroom.
