QUIRKY WORLD: 14-year-old suspended from school for wanting more homework
A 14-year-old boy has been excluded from school for two days after leading fellow pupils in a class walkout — because he wanted more homework.
Aaron Parfitt organised the mass gathering on the playing fields of his school in Blackpool, Lancashire, after complaining he was not getting enough homework to help with his maths after he had failed an exam, and about a high turnover of teachers in the subject. Up to 100 pupils joined him.
