A shocking video has gone viral, showing students smashing their phones with stones, allegedly at the behest of their school’s Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) following poor academic performance.

The drastic measure that led the PTA to compel the students to smash their phones was reportedly taken due to their poor academic performance, with mobile devices deemed the primary distraction.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and debate online, with many condemning the PTA’s actions as excessive and misguided.

According to reports, the PTA attributed the students’ subpar performance to their mobile phone usage, leading to the drastic decision. The students were allegedly instructed to destroy their phones in the presence of teachers and parents.

The video, shared on social media, showed students systematically destroying their devices, one by one, using stones.
