GIMME MY PHONE BACK! A 19-year-old Matriculant of Imbali outside Pietermaritzburg has been arrested for hitting his teacher with a desk plank
The Witness newspaper reported that the pupil had assaulted his teacher after an argument over a cellphone.
His cellphone had been confiscated on Monday and he was demanding it back when he got angry and attacked the teacher.
The school did not allow cellphones on its premises, the publication said.
Police spokeswoman Lieutenant Joey Jeevan said the boy was in custody and was due to appear in court soon.

Too much rights to the kids......... they forget that rights also come with responsibilities
