A bunch of pupils from Hoerskool Jan De Klerk are the talk of social media after their classroom brawl was caught on camera and posted online.
Hoerskool Jan De Klerk classroom brawl goes viral
The Krugersdorp-based high school prides itself on upholding respect, excellence and accountability, and while for the most part, these values are exhibited through their performance — the school’s 2021 matric class achieved a 92% pass rate — the same cannot be said about the discipline, or lack thereof, shown by some pupils.
In a video clip that has since gone viral on social media, a group of boys was caught on camera in a fiiery.classroom brawl. It’s unclear what prompted the violence, however, one of the boys, who was not only in violation of the school’s dress code, but also sucking on a lollipop, was pummelled in the face by his classmate repeatedly.
Some pupils watched on, some with their phones out, as the bout of fisticuffs rumbled on, with the school boy dressed in a blazer clearly overpowering the pupil sucking on a lollipop.
Other classmates made a valiant effort to separate the two boys, and shockingly, all of this occurred in full view of the teacher, who helplessly watched on as another boy jumped on his back, throwing fists in the air in excitement.
It’s unclear if the boys were punished for this fight, since our requests for comment were not returned at the time this article was published.
Here is the video footage of the classroom brawl that’s since gone viral:
