SINGAPORE — A St Andrew's Secondary School student has been disciplined by the school after threatening his teacher with violence during an argument caught on video.
In response to TODAY’s queries on Wednesday (Aug 24), St Andrew's Secondary School said that it takes a serious view on disrespectful behaviour towards staff members and that the student involved has been disciplined.
A video of an argument between a student from the school and a teacher, in what appears to be a classroom setting, had been making it rounds online on Tuesday evening.
In the video, a teacher is seen scolding a student who continuously argues back.
It is unclear from the video what had initially led the teacher to scold the student.
At one point in the argument, the student pointed at the teacher while walking towards him, with the teacher heard shouting “don’t touch me” as the student approached.
The student responded by telling the teacher to “watch your mouth” before threatening him with the words “end your life right now”.
A third person is then seen partially in the video trying to calm the pair down and break up the argument.
The school told TODAY: “We have also engaged the student's parents, and will work closely with them to counsel and guide him."
