In St. Petersburg, the teacher demanded that the student apologize on his knees

The prosecutor's office of the Krasnogvardeisky district is conducting an inspection at school No. 233 after reports that a biology teacher demanded that a student apologize on one knee. This was reported in the press service of the department.

“The biology teacher during the educational process, during which the student allowed himself to be rude to the teacher, demanded that the 11th grade graduate publicly apologize by kneeling,” the report says.

According to the prosecutor's office, the school administration and the district education department analyzed the situation. As a teacher, she realized that she had committed a “gross violation of pedagogical ethics” and quit.

"The prosecutor's office will evaluate the activities of the educational institution in terms of compliance with the requirements of the legislation on education and the basic guarantees of the rights of minors," the department added.

However, in a conversation with the 360 ​​TV channel, the teacher stated that she did not feel guilty and explained her actions as an “educational moment”. “This is not humiliation. It's such an educational moment. If his parents did not tell him that women should not be humiliated. A man is impossible, and a woman is even more so. And teachers, all the more, cannot be humiliated in the square, ”she added.

The incident at the St. Petersburg school became known on May 19, after a video of a conflict between a student and a teacher appeared on the Web. The video shows how the teacher in front of the class demands an apology from the student on her knees.
