A video circulating in the Dominican media shows the moment in which a teacher in that Caribbean country grabs a student by the neck in the middle of a discussion in the classroom.
The events highlighted by local media this week would have occurred at the Marie Poussepin Educational Center, in Villa Jaragua, Bahoruco province.
According to the preliminary information available, the confrontation occurred when the student was going to eat her breakfast and the teacher tried to prevent it. The report from Los Mocanos indicates that the adult started it against the minor after she disrespected her.
At the moment the student got up from her chair, the educator attacked her.
The images show when the woman seems to hang herself to the girl, while several students intervene to distance the teacher from the student.
The CDC report indicates that the campus principal allegedly ordered the students to remove the videos so that they would not be publicly disclosed.
Some students asked the head of the Ministry of Education, Roberto Fulcar, to apply sanctions against the teacher.
At the moment, it is not clear if any action has been taken disciplinary action against the school employee.
