A pupil has been given a detention after her iPad was found to be on 93% charge, instead of the school-mandated 97%.
She took to Twitter to vent, and has received hundreds of comments sharing similar outrage at the decision.
The mum says her daughter arrived at Oasis Academy Mayfield in Southampton with her iPad, but had been told the 93% charge wasn’t sufficient.Her daughter was left with feelings of ‘panic and anxiety’ following news of her detention. Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the mum said: ‘My daughter’s initial reaction was to not attend, which she didn’t as she felt it was a stupid thing to get a detention for.
‘She then received an email from her tutor informing her of the missed detention and threatened her with a further 45 minute one with the assistant head if she failed to attend the second chance.‘This caused panic in my daughter and anxiety at the prospect of going to school and having a detention when she had done nothing wrong.’
The girl’s mum then emailed her tutor for an explanation and to receive further information on the detention.The woman added: ‘As a teacher myself, I know the time constraints he must be under but a response doesn’t take five minutes, especially when I have raised a very valid point.
