Teacher throws two students out of window
Morocco, Local, 10/7/2003

A teacher, who had a fit of hysterics, threw this Monday morning two of her students from the 2nd floor of a primary school in Casablanca.

One of the two pupils, aged 9, was carried to hospital in a critical state after he lost consciousness due to serious injuries in the head and a fracture in the right hand while the other, 10 years old, suffers only a shock, MAP reported.

Students and families of the victims said the teacher had threatened all her students to throw them out of the window if they don't keep quiet.

The teacher was suffering from frequent depressions and had already submitted medical certificates showing her state of health, said the parents who criticize the school administration for keeping the teacher despite her unstable situation.
