Overview
- In La Plata’s Normal 2, a student entered the campus during a melee, a preceptora suffered a head wound requiring stitches, and the education authority said the youth will no longer be enrolled while an internal investigation proceeds.
- Videos of the brawl circulated widely as students and families rallied outside the school, pressing for tighter security, police presence and tougher disciplinary tools.
- In Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Instituto San Buenaventura confirmed a student threw hot water on a preceptor, imposed a three-day suspension and a division change, and reported the staff member is on leave under psychological care.
- Unions and educators condemned the attacks and argued current guidance that favors restorative interventions has weakened schools’ ability to deter and sanction violent behavior.
- Police were notified in the La Plata case and inquiries were reported, while schools urged respect for privacy laws that bar identifying minors or affected staff.
