In a shocking incident, a teacher associated with the edtech company PhysicsWallah was physically assaulted by a student during a live-streamed class. The disturbing episode was recorded by another student who then shared the video online, sparking widespread outrage.
The viral 9-second video captured the harrowing moment when a PhysicsWallah teacher, while conducting an online class, was unexpectedly attacked by a student who repeatedly struck him with a slipper. The incident took place while the teacher was standing in front of a blackboard, leaving viewers stunned and concerned about the safety of educators.
The video quickly gained thousands of views as it circulated across various social media platforms. Many individuals, formerly known as Twitter users, reacted to the incident, questioning the motive behind the attack and expressing their disapproval of such behavior towards teachers. There was a consensus among commentators that educators should not be subjected to such treatment.
As of now, it remains unclear what prompted the student to assault the teacher during the live class. Investigations into the incident are likely underway to determine the underlying cause of the altercation.
It’s worth noting that PhysicsWallah has faced controversies in the past. In a previous incident, a teacher associated with the edtech firm issued a public apology for using a casteist slur during an online lecture. The company emphasized its commitment to inclusivity and condemned the inappropriate remarks.
Earlier this year, another PhysicsWallah teacher made accusations against three colleagues, alleging bribery and citing differences in vision with the company’s leadership. This led to the departure of these teachers from the platform.
The assault on a PhysicsWallah teacher during a live class has ignited concerns about the safety and respect that educators deserve while carrying out their duties. The incident has also raised questions about the motivations behind such attacks and underscores the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment, even in online educational settings.
