The brawl between two students of the Richard Ishmael Secondary School was triggered after the female student made disparaging remarks about a relative of her schoolmate, a source close to the school told Stabroek News yesterday.
A video showing the two students from a city school fighting surfaced on social media on Wednesday resulting in public consternation. Questions have been raised about what the Head of the school and teachers did in the aftermath of the fight and in relation to the enforcement of discipline.
