In the United Kingdom, days after a number of schools barred use of toilets during lessons and partly during break times, reports of “rioting” by students are dominating the news cycle.
Reports say that the situation forced many schools to call police after the pupils “went on the rampage”.
A report in The Mirror claimed that a school in North Yorkshire had teachers allegedly pushed over while a tree was set on fire.
Kids let off fire extinguishers, kicked down doors and smashed windows on a day of disorder, the report added
According to reports in British media, students “planned” the protest on TikTok shortly after the new toilet-use rules were announced.
The visuals currently viral on social media show large group of teenagers in uniform gathered at a Cornwall school’s fences, with some attempting to scale them down. One parent told The Mirrorthat part of the fencing was broken and at least one student was reportedly injured.
Amid reports of violent inside-the-school-premise protests, hundreds of students staged a protest outside a school in Yorkshire.
The protest was against a decision by the school authorities to close most of its facilities during the lesson time.
