    Teacher Resigns After Student's Harassment

    A 24-year-old teacher in Yekaterinburg, Russia, resigned after enduring a year of harassment from a migrant student. The student, identified as Ruslan or Masturbek, disrupted classes, fought with classmates, spat at girls' feet, and threatened teachers with sexual violence. Despite the teacher's repeated complaints to the school administration and deputy principal, no action was taken. The final straw was when the student and his friends spat on the teacher's classroom door. The teacher warned the student that his behavior could lead to deportation, but he replied that only his parents would be deported, and he would stay in the country.
