Teacher Loses Baby Breaking Up Class Fight

A popular Bronx teacher who stepped in to break up a classroom fight lost the baby she was carrying when she was accidentally elbowed in the stomach. The tragedy occurred shortly after a late student marched into class and ordered another teen out of chair. As the confrontation became heated the teacher, who was 4 months pregnant, intervened. She fell to the ground crying when she was elbowed and was rushed to a local hospital, reports the New York Daily News.

"I can't believe she lost her child over a fight for a chair," said one student. Another added: "If I could talk to her, I would say I'm so sorry for her loss." The two students involved in the fight have been suspended. Another teacher in a different city school was punched in the eye yesterday by a 14-year-old student. (More New York City stories.)
