Threatened by a 13-year-old student and pelted with a glass jar: for teacher Gino de Cock of the Sint-Guido Institute in Anderlecht, it is bitter reality. But especially the way in which the management deals with it comes across him. “If you as a student can threaten a teacher and then even throw something at his head without a real sanction, what does that say about education?” One of the two students involved was suspended for five days after the first incident, but did not get a punishment for the second incident.
