Something is wrong here--the kid is 11 and listed as high school? What ages are in high school in that area? And, if the kid is 11 and can't read or write, he needs to be in a special ed environment where his particular problems can be addressed. If he's in mainstream classrooms, he is creating a problem and should be removed.

As for the tape--shouldn't happen, but the teacher should be able to have the student removed from his/her classroom so as to keep him from keeping others from being taught and learning. Disruptive students cost a lot as they hold others back by making the classroom inhospitable to those who want to learn.

This is from BBC -- the British have different terms for describing grades and schools.

This is a British school. That may be the reason that he is listed as "high school." I THINK that England has elementary and high.
