There was a meeting between parents and officers in the presence of the police/on the day
Once again, violence has dealt a devastating blow to the coexistence of the city’s schools. This time it was Primary No. 80, located in the Savoy area of City Bell, 7bis between 474 and 475. And, as if this were just another piece of information about a problem that still has no end in sight, the main characters are 6th grade boys under the age of 11 and their parents, who come to school facing a conflict between two boys and one girl.
Nearly two weeks after the Normal 2 incident in which a student attacked another student and injured a teacher in the fracas, the state intervened and the assailant was expelled from school. Given the level of violence, students and teachers staged a sit-in to demand safety.
This time too, there was a fight between male students in the school building, resulting in injuries to teachers and parents.
The incident occurred on Tuesday. Education sources told EL DIA that two male and female students got into a fight during recess on the second day in the morning. The auxiliary staff and teacher tried to separate them, but “it was impossible to separate them given their level of violence. The auxiliary staff and teacher tried to calm them down, but they ended up fighting each other,” one of them told this newspaper.
And here, the surprising thing is that the authorities of the facility called the parents to pick up their children. However, education sources said the students remained angry and their parents “attacked the authorities and reprimanded the director,” adding: “They attacked him with punches and kicks, and even grabbed him by the hair. They kicked the director in the leg, causing him to bleed and hit his varicose veins.”
After the incident, the board had to receive medical assistance in the health ward. Additionally, three teachers were targeted for ART.
And what about classes? He was suspended yesterday, and it was announced that he would be returning from today. However, yesterday, in the presence of police vehicles, a meeting was held with officers and parents to explain the school closures.
An education source said: “There was a similar incident between students two weeks ago,” and “despite what happened, inspectors are asking teachers to do the same.” Finally, he concluded: “Some parents have been taking their children out of here for some time now because there is violence.”
overflow
Unlike the recent violent incident at a school in La Plata that involved secondary school students, teachers, and family members, the incident at the Citibel facility involved children.
Among school activities experts, this data is not surprising. Maria Zisman, a graduate student in psychopedagogy, explained to EL DIA: “From a very young age, children are in overflow situations. Teachers do a lot of work to contain them,” she said. However, he later analyzed that “schools don’t know how to prevent this situation.”
“The concept of similarity is missing. The other one can be beaten or beaten. There is no concept of other people’s rights or how they should be treated. ”

In this sense, Ernesto Radice, a sociologist with a doctorate in social psychology and a member of the Argentine Association of Sociologists, told this newspaper that “violence has always existed, but today it happens that the routes through which people can escape are closed,” elaborating: “Evacuation means treatment, and it is treated through mental health, health therapy, playing sports, cultural mediation. Any activity that comforts humans promotes the dilution of violence.”
Similarly, he added, “There is an absence of a state that does not offer an alternative. The net of protection for society is becoming more and more permeable, and the holes are getting bigger and bigger.”
Lujan Luli, a graduate in psychopedagogy and member of the local school leadership team, agreed: “On the one hand there is violence and on the other hand there is a lack of resources and institutional measures.”
Furthermore, he concluded that “issues of authority, asymmetries between adults and children, and the implications of hierarchical status are collapsing.”
