Stefani M. She is an eighth-semester student at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Central University, who received screams from Professor José Augusto D., which went viral. From the age of 5, she wanted to be a doctor mother died a year later with uterine cancer. “In the last memories I have of her, I pretended to be a doctor,” she says.
On Thursday, January 14, 2021, he spoke with EL COMERCIO. “It simply came to our notice then Quiet. I have never suffered like this mistreatment neither at home nor in classrooms. This time what he tells me transcends the broadcast video. At no time did I lie to him. I have no doubt it could be good doctorbut I did not have the opportunity to meet the teacher which many are talking about, because in this semester we did not receive a single class and the moments when it was addressed to us he was pushy and rude. In this interview I want to thank you the rector of the Central University, Fernando Sempértegui; at the doctor Lucy Baldeón and more than anything to my colleagues. I never wanted this to become an issue controversyJust to point out that these things can’t happen. “
What happened before the two minutes and 29 seconds in which part of the pharmacology class is observed? The student reports that he had to make a presentation. She was part of a group of six comrades. “We organized, everything was ready, I don’t know what happened at the last minute, but my partner disconnected. He had to state, after I did it, that I had already finished my part. Suddenly I noticed that interrupted, He disconnected.I continued, even a week before I had another problem like this, the teacher said that the group should come out as it is, that we should support each other.The problem should not be with me , I’m not a liar, everyone in the chat was ready, everything had been shared. As they realized, I never imagined that this would end like this; I didn’t answer anything, thank God, otherwise the story would have been different. “
Before what happened on Tuesday, the 12th, in class, did she or her colleagues receive screams or other types of abuse from several teachers? Stefani never says. He admits that, like everyone else, he has received calls for attention from respectful teachers. “So, I think that’s why, at the time of this class, I didn’t know how to act. It’s the first time this has happened, fortunately, the video is cut because I ended up crying. Maybe some would have taken it as a joke. I didn’t know how to act, I lowered my voice, I had never been exposed to this type of situation; my father never raised his voice to me. We had very good teachers, they did not resort to these measures, they did not lose control during these years in college “.
Fifteen students They are part of this group of eighth semester, which clashed with screams teacher who says fuck with student; He yells at her not to raise his voice, but she always stays calm, with a very low tone of voice. They practice in a hospital in Quito. “We felt tired because it wasn’t the first time. That’s why everyone supported me and denounced me. It makes me feel good to see that from the beginning I had support from the authorities. Dr. Lucy Baldeón, Student Welfare and the Rector shook hands with us in an impressive way, the process was very agile. They opened many doors for us. Today I received the first class with the new one Professor of Pharmacology“.
Stefani’s father remained calm. He hurried into his room when he heard the teacher screaming in the living room on Tuesday afternoon. “He even advised me not to resent; he tells me that people are wrong. “Forgive him even if he did not apologize.”
The girl makes sure that she and her classmates from the eighth semester at Central University only want her people become aware about what bullying is in the classroom. “It is not fair for someone to be arrogant, disrespectful. He will have his problems, you must have a vocation to teach. I am glad to feel the support of colleagues from other faculties. Thank you all.”
