"Can you please explain why not having 100 percent battery is a viable basis to give a pupil detention?" the mother requested in the email. She emphasised that her daughter's iPad's 93 percent battery did not interfere with her studies in any way, and she continued to work on the device while at school.
The mother called the punishment "archaic," claiming that her daughter had done nothing wrong and hence did not deserve the penalty. She went on to say that such regulations instill "unnecessary dread" in pupils and are not an appropriate approach to operate a school.
As the story spread on Twitter, some individuals were perplexed by the unique restriction. One user mentioned how her son was once punished for having a dull pencil.
However, one user thought the rule was appropriate and pointed out that children struggle to charge their iPads at school, which hampers their learning.
