Colégio Pedro II suspends classes after teacher intimidation

Colégio Pedro II suspended classes at its Realengo I campus in Rio de Janeiro following an incident where a student's father allegedly intimidated a teacher. The confrontation occurred on Monday, May 5, during student dismissal. According to reports, the man approached the teacher to complain about her allegedly shouting at his daughter and subsequently followed the teacher through the school courtyard.

The institution has filed a police report and restricted the individual's access to the campus. School authorities expressed solidarity with the teacher, stating they do not tolerate verbal or physical aggression, intimidation, or disrespect toward educational professionals. The school administration plans to hold a meeting with the father in a neutral location, accompanied by the Rectory, and will conduct a pedagogical review of the situation.

The Civil Police are currently investigating the threat. Authorities intend to interview the involved parties and witnesses to clarify the facts. While classes were suspended on Tuesday, May 6, as a response to the violence, activities resumed on Wednesday, May 7.
