Physics Wallah (PW), the popular edtech platform, has come under the spotlight. Footage from a live Physics Wallah session has gone viral, showing a teacher, Saleem Ahmed, reacting angrily to a student's comment, eventually losing his cool to the point of threatening physical aggression. The clip, which has gone viral, has ignited discussions on managing stress, especially in high-pressure teaching environments.
What Went Down
Saleem Ahmed, who previously taught at Allen, is known for his engaging style, but this incident has cast a shadow on his methods. During a live class, where teachers can see comments in real-time, Ahmed came across a remark calling the lesson "a waste of time."
The video was uploaded by redditor Chem-Hater69 on the JEENEETards subreddit on Tuesday. It has garnered nearly 450 comments at the time of writing.
This seemed to trigger his frustration, leading him to lash out verbally at the student with harsh words. At one point, he even threw a pen in anger.

How Are Netizens Reacting
The video has sparked a debate on social media, with many criticising the outburst.
One commenter emphasised the need for professional help to manage anger, while another mentioned that this wasn’t the first time they had seen Ahmed lose his temper during class.
On Reddit, the incident has prompted a discussion on Ahmed’s teaching style. While some users acknowledge his expertise and claim his teaching is solid, they also note that his tendency to react to negative comments can disrupt the learning experience. Despite the backlash, many still vouch for his skills as an educator.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the pressures teachers face in digital classrooms and how best to manage stress in such settings.
