Although the teacher who intervened in a school fight last week between students at Moruga Secondary is being hailed on social media as a hero, TT Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) head Martin Lum Kin is warning teachers against intervening in such incidents.
Multiple videos of the fight showed at least three girls and one boy kicking, slapping, punching and throwing things at a girl on the floor as a male teacher with a broom in his hand tried to intervene.
One of the assailants tried to grab the broom from the teacher but it broke. She then took the broken part and began beating the girl as she lay on the ground.
