The scene seems taken from horror fiction, but it occurred in a high school playground. In a context of extreme social sensitivity due to school violence, Jean Piaget School of Ramos Mejía became the epicenter of a scandal after images of the presentation of the divers of the “Promo 2026”. In the video, a student simulates executing six companionswho collapse to the ground before starting a festive choreography.
The ritual, which seeks to symbolize the “elimination” of previous littersit was not an isolated event. At Ciudad Jardín School “Gartenstadt Schule” of El Palomar, the staging was even more explicit: students hooded and carrying replica weapons They toured the classrooms to “kidnap” supposed infiltrators, under a speech that urged a simulated execution of seven students.
What institutions define as a “coordinated action with the authorities” It has aroused widespread repudiation due to its inopportune temporal coincidence. The images were released just hours after the tragedy in San Cristóbal, Santa Fewhere a 15-year-old student unleashed a shooting that ended the life of a teenager.
While at the El Palomar school they opted for delete the institutional video Faced with the wave of criticism, in Ramos Mejía the silence of the managers fuels the debate on the limits of student celebrations. In a country processing the shock of an actual armed attack, the trivialization of violence in pedagogical settings raises an urgent question about school supervision.
