One of the little angels was scolded by the teacher for standing on a chair.
Ping.
Another article said there were a total of 13 kids in the class, and that article said 11 of them were involved in the plot. This article says 9 have been disciplined, so perhaps the other two had insufficient involvement to warrant discipline. At any rate, we’re talking at least 2/3rds, and maybe over 4/5th of the students in the class, who were eager to harm this teacher. I think school officials should be focusing on the teacher’s behavior more than the conspiring students’. Something has to be very wrong with how a teacher has been treating her young students, for a solid majority of them to want to do serious harm to her in response to her “scolding” a single student.
