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