Teachers in Uruguay are going on a 24-hour strike to protest a wave of physical attacks on educators by students’ parents. The local teachers union called the strike on Wednesday to draw attention to six attacks since March in the capital, Montevideo, and other cities. In the most recent one, a woman punched a school director in the face on Tuesday for having called a doctor to examine her son for behavioral problems.
