In a school in Moscow, a teacher who humiliated fifth graders in classes was reinstated due to a lack of teachers.
At School No. 1,527 in Moscow, the teacher of Russian language and literature, Lyudmila Onsin, was temporarily suspended from classes after parents complained about insults towards fifth graders. However, two months later she returned to the children, because the school lacks teachers.
From the beginning of September, the teacher yelled at the students, said they were "nobody and nothing" to her, complained about the children's smell and forbade them to go to the bathroom. Parents said that the students of the school began to fear her lessons, some of them developed insomnia, anxiety and nervous tics. On the Internet, reviews of the teacher's work were divided - from enthusiasm to sharp negativity, where she was accused of humiliation and name-calling.
On September 9, parents of two 5th grade students contacted the principal, Yevgeni Varshinin, with a request to change the teacher. Onesin then stopped teaching classes with them, and the headmistress promised she would. However, at the beginning of November the teacher returned again. Parents claim that already in the first lesson she called them "abnormal" and their children "retarded".
The school principal explained the teacher's return by saying that she works as a substitute teacher. According to him, a new teacher of Russian language and literature has not yet been found, and the primary school teachers refuse to replace them. At the same time, Vershinin noted that some parents were in favor of Onsina continuing to work with their children. She now teaches separate classes, and a decision on her future work at the school will be made soon.
