- The teacher decided to use the fire extinguisher to wake him up
- Online users reacted differently on whether the teacher’s reaction was right or wrong
GRONINGEN, Holland – Remember those sleepyheads during our school days? Who fall asleep on top of the school desk? Those drowsy students who’d been caught by teachers might have been asked to step out of the room to stand in the corridor or taken to the prefect of discipline. However, one teacher from Holland thought of something truly different as a sanction.
A teacher from a school in Groningen was recorded in a video footage picking up a fire extinguisher and spraying it to a student who was dozing off while a class was ongoing, TMZhas reported.
The less than 30 seconds video features a boy resting with his head on the desk; who couldn’t be roused despite attempts by his friends to wake him up.
On the video, the teacher is seen standing in front of the class and conducting his lessons when he suddenly appears to spot the sleeping student.
The teacher approaches the student as he starts screaming; ignoring the other student who was bent on filming the incident. The teacher then reaches for the fire extinguisher, and much to the surprise of everyone there, he sprayed at the sleeping student – still fuming mad.
Online users reacted differently with regards to the reaction of the teacher; with some of them saying that the student deserves what he got.
“Seems like a reasonable response,” said online user ravishing from Cleveland, as reported byDaily Mail.
“Good one for the teacher,” said online user MarmooUK, while C. Meyer said, “Great disciplinarian! All teachers should do this.”
However, there are online users who criticized the teacher’s action.
Online user jr23 said, “Cannot tell what type of extinguisher but if its power that’s not good for someone’s lungs, the teachers(sic) an idiot as was the person who cannot use a video camera phone correctly, if it going to news or internet turn the camera just like your TV or computer screen.”
Meanwhile, online user Stoke believed that the student will learn his lesson after the incident; saying, “Short sharp shock treatment. Bet he won’t go to sleep again in class.”
