Tired and fed-up with their teacher's incompetence, a group of primary school students in Satun, Thailand staged a protest to demand her resignation
Students holding signs and banners circled the teacher's car as soon as she pulled into the school compound on Thursday, 21 June.
They were furious, and nothing was going to stop them from spelling out the shortcomings of Chantan Sutaphanit, the educator accused of being rude and lazy.

Some of the signs read "Kru (Teacher) Chantana, get out!", "I don't want to study with Kru Chantana", and "I'm not a brat"
Khaosod English reported that the students were joined by parents, who said Chantana has used profanity and cursed her students, poked them with sharp pencils, and used her phone all day instead of educating them.
