The incident at the capital’s school number 2031 involves a teacher who allegedly assaulted a student during a financial literacy class after an argument over the student’s hairstyle. Reports about the event surfaced through the Telegram channel Puree, which has been tracking various classroom incidents in recent months.
Video footage appears to show a teacher wearing a military-style uniform raise his voice toward the student, then abruptly push a chair away and physically lift the student by the armpits. The uncooperative student is escorted from the classroom into the corridor. In the next moments, the teacher lifts the student onto his shoulder blades and delivers a series of aggressive blows to the head, while bystanders in the room react with laughter or a mix of shock and discomfort. The scene captured by the camera depicts a disciplinary confrontation that quickly escalates beyond what many would consider acceptable classroom behavior.
According to the report, the student sustained injuries to the nose and head, and an ambulance was called to transport him to a hospital for treatment. This development underscores the seriousness of the incident and the potential consequences of violence in school settings. School staff, administrators, and local authorities have a responsibility to ensure student safety and to respond promptly to any signs of harm or abuse that may arise in classrooms or hallways.
Identified by the channel as Sergey Okopsky, the teacher is described as the individual who leads the class and is responsible for teaching students how to manage money and financial skills. The report raises questions about professional conduct, classroom management strategies, and the level of supervision appropriate for teachers in training environments where young people are learning critical financial literacy concepts. Educational oversight bodies will likely review the incident to determine whether disciplinary actions or policy changes are warranted to protect students and maintain a safe learning atmosphere.
Earlier reports mention another incident involving a mathematics teacher, Vladislav Dorofeev, from school number 4 in Ust-Labinsk, who allegedly struck two sixth-graders with a belt in front of other students. The juxtaposition of these events highlights ongoing concerns about violence in schools and the different forms it can take—from verbal aggression to physical punishment—and the need for clear guidelines, staff training, and supportive interventions for students who may be struggling with behavior or safety issues. Ongoing discussions among educators, parents, and authorities stress the importance of creating safer school environments where such actions are prevented and promptly addressed when they occur, with emphasis on due process and student well-being.
