A beloved Bronx teacher had a miscarriage Wednesday after she was hit trying to break up a fight between two students, sources and students told the Daily News.
The teacher, who was four months pregnant, was teaching her fifth period Spanish class at Exploration Academy in the Claremont section of the Bronx when the assault occurred.
A student arrived five minutes late, walked up to another student who was already seated and told him to get out of his desk, students said.
When the seated student refused, the conflict escalated and the teacher tried to intervene. She was accidentally elbowed in the stomach and fell to the ground, crying.
"I can't believe it," said Amaury Lopez, 17, a student at the school. "I can't believe she lost her child over a fight over a chair."
