When we went two days later, she was asked to either pay a fine or face suspension for 10 days,” she said. Parents summonedG. Elangovan, another parent, claimed that all the students who missed the function were asked to call their parents and stand outside the school. “When the parents finally reached, we were not allowed to meet the headmistress or even allowed inside the school campus by the watchmen. It is extremely unfair to demand such a high amount as fine as my daughter could not attend the event that day for genuine reasons,” he said. My daughter did not attend school today and we are scared that the students will again be sent out of class on Monday,” Mr. Elangovan said.
