June 14, 2018The parents have been summoned to school to communicate the rejection of their 15 year old son. But they didn't take it well: the young 24-year-old teacher was attacked by the student's parents. The father, after having beaten him, filled with kicks and punches, tried to strangle him. The teacher, transported to the hospital, reported a head and back injury with a principle of suffocation.

It happened in a technical institute in Rome, yesterday afternoon during the school polls. The professor, a native of Aversa and in his first year of teaching, technical assistant of the drawing workshop, was in the institute to communicate the news to his parents. The school, as a coordinator says, had already announced the boy's progress during the year.

After a short preamble of the drawing professor, the confirmation arrived: "Unfortunately your child will have to repeat the school year". The two parents stood up and started to insult the professors present and the principal. The parent of the rejected student tried to hit the headmaster, who had moved away, from behind. The young professor intervened and moved the principal away to avoid the surprise blows. He was struck at first by a punch in the face while the boy's father went on killing and punching. He stopped only when the young man collapsed. "He could not break free," witnesses said. The teacher was taken to the hospital by the ambulance, hospitalized under observation. "It's a problematic family," they say now at school.

Also yesterday in Treviso a similar episode happened. A parent, when he learned that his son had been rejected, showed up at the school and began to rail against the teachers. He argued angrily that the boy this year, followed by specialist centers, had not been followed by a support teacher. Last week instead in the province of Padua, a mother, after a bad grade remedied by her son, went to look for the teacher by breaking them in the lip.

2018 was a very difficult year from this point of view. Last April, 24 assaults on teachers by pupils and parents were recorded.
