IOL News reports that incidents of pupils assaulting teachers have been reported at a top Sandton high school. Last week, pupils at Sandown High School allegedly locked a Grade 8 teacher in a classroom after complaining that the maths test she had set was too difficult.
“The teacher has been at the school for about two months and this was one of her first exams. She was shaken up badly,” said a teacher. The Gauteng Education Department has disputed the allegation. In another alleged incident, a pupil who was caught cheating during an exam allegedly kicked a teacher. Last week, two pupils from Moletsane High School in Soweto were suspended after they were caught on camera assaulting a teacher in class.
