BUZZHere’s your daily bit of weird education news from across the pond. A British school called police to remove a student who is “obsessed” with studying.
Gagliardi, who was forced to call his mother to pick him up, said, “I have been punished for wanting to do well. I am a hard-working and dedicated student, and this could have such an impact on my future.”
The student went to the library despite being banned from the premises for the day as a punishment for interrupting the school principal during a meeting — to request extra revision sessions.
