PUDUCHERRY: A 9th standard student of the Government High school in Mettupalayam was expelled from the school after he assaulted his teacher inside the class room.

The incident happened when Subrayan, the Tamil teacher was taking class and had asked the students to write a test. Instead of writing the test, the student on the back bench was watching some video clippings on his cell phone. He also showed it to the other students seated close to him,. Noticing this, Subrayan questioned his behavior and after admonishing him took away the mobile phone. Since the student showed no remorse or took heed of the teacher’s advise, he was asked to come with his parents.

After some time, the student came to the teacher and asked him to return his mobile phone, which led to an altercation and the student reportedly slapped the teacher on his face.

Subrayan lodged a complaint with the head master following which the head master asked the student to bring his parents. However he also entered into an argument with the head master, but was asked to leave.

Subsequently, the matter was brought to the notice of the higher officials of the education department and the school disciplinary committee conducted an inquiry. They also asked the student to bring his parents but he failed to bring them following which he was expelled from the school. The Transfer Certificate was handed over to his brother, who collected it and left.

Incidentally the student joined the government school last year in IXth standard, after he was thrown out of a private school following failure in IXth standard. The student again failed in IXth standard in the government school .
