Violence in Israeli Schools Escalates Beyond Playground Fights, Impacting Teachers and Staff

Violence within Israel's education system has grown far beyond simple playground altercations, now involving teachers being humiliated online, students throwing chairs, parents issuing threats, and school principals lacking support. In the first episode of the "To the Limit" podcast's back-to-school series, host Keren Neubach discusses these issues with school principal Sagie Cohen and education policy researcher Dr. Roni Ramot. They explore how societal violence is infiltrating classrooms and the challenges faced when the perpetrators are children themselves. The conversation highlights the difficulties the education system encounters in addressing this problem and questions how to begin repairing a system where both teachers and students feel isolated. The episode also touches on Mansour Abbas's historic political ambitions and the complexities of maintaining love and family amid deep disagreements.
