Many parents raised concerns that no teacher was present in the classroom. “I am so shocked and saddened by the news. I hope God grants his family patience and relief,” said Emad Ahmed, a Saudi father in Jeddah. “I am really angry that kids were left alone in classrooms and that no school authority came into intervene or supervise the kids. This is so careless, unprofessional and detrimental to student lives.”
