Ten-year-old shoots teacher, kills himself in Brazil

[1]  A 10-year-old boy shot his teacher and then committed suicide in southeast Brazil, local authorities reported
Thursday.
The incident took place at the Alcina Dantas Feijão Municipal School, in the city of São Caetano do Sul,
São Paulo state.
[5]  According to the local police, David Mota Nogueira asked to go to the restroom but returned with a gun in
hand. He shot his teacher, 38-year-old Rosileide Queirós de Oliveira, in the back in front of some 25
classmates. The boy then left the classroom and shot himself in the head in the hallway.
Both the teacher and the student were taken to a hospital, but the boy did not survive. The teacher was
injured in the hip and, according to the authorities, is in stable condition.
[10]  The police said the revolver used by the boy belonged to his father, a local police guard.
The police still don’t know what motivated the crime. According to the Public Security Secretary Moacyr
Rodrigues, there was no indication the boy had been bullied. Teachers reported he was a calm child and had
not been involved in any unruly activities.
The incident occurred five months after a shooting at a Rio school shocked Brazil, when a former student
[15]  entered the public middle school and shot several students. He killed 12 children aged 12 to 14, most of
them girls, and injured another 12. After being injured by a policeman, the shooter killed himself.

TEXTO:
 

A class apart, long way home
    A few years ago the residents of San Juan
Comalapa, a small town in Guatemala’s highlands, didn’t
know anything about recycling: they tended to throw
their garbage in the river. But Comalapa, a primarily
[5] Mayan community of farmers, had another problem: most
children ended their education after primary school to
help their families survive. Matt Paneitz, a former Peace
Corps volunteer here, and his organization Long Way
Home are working with residents to tackle both issues.
[10] Long Way Home’s first project was building a soccer
field (Paneitz sold his car to help fund it). Next, it turned
to the waste and education problems. The ingenious
solution: Build a school out of recycled rubbish,
particularly old tires, which make excellent walls. The
[15] school’s not finished yet (though some classes are being
offered), but when it’s done it will serve some 400
students, offering academic coursework and vocational
workshops in carpentry, masonry, welding and other
crafts that will help turn the cycle of poverty around.
A class apart, long way home. Newsweek, New York, Dec 27,2010/ Jan 3, 2011, ENCARTE, p.14.
