Notable variations appear in date reporting, in whether the teacher is described as discharged or still receiving treatment, and in which outlets include reactions or parental accounts.

Where accounts conflict or are ambiguous (for example about the day or date of the incident), the sources do not provide reconciled clarifications, so the discrepancy remains unresolved in the available reporting.
