Boy suspended from school for breaking wind

THE MOTHER of a 13-year-old boy yesterday said he was suspended from school for two days simply because he broke wind in a classroom.

Deirdre Ring said her son, Dane, was suspended by the principal of the VEC school in Co Cork.

“He was in his class and the teacher hadn’t turned up. The principal came round and when he came in he asked what the foul smell was,” Ms Ring said.
