Ehipassiko School BSD Student Unilaterally Expelled from School Due to Argument with Friend on WA

TANGERANG – NCW, a 7th grade junior high school student (1 SMP) at Ehipassiko School in BSD, South Tangerang (Tangsel) is suspected of experiencing persecution at her school. NCW was expelled by the school after fighting with her friend, NA. As a result of the commotion, NCW was expelled from school unilaterally. This disappointed NCW's parents.

NCW's father, Felix, said that initially his daughter fought with her classmate, NA, via WhatsApp (WA) chat. The content of the conversation allegedly contained harsh words. However, it is not yet known what problem NCW and NA were arguing about.

"The words were harsh. Then NA reported her parents. Printed out proof of the chat. Then the school responded," said Felix when confirmed, Tuesday, August 6.

Not long after, the school called NCW. In the meeting, she was asked to sign a piece of paper. Felix said that she signed the paper without any assistance from her parents or guardians.

"After school, my child told me about the case report, and the contents of the sanctions that she had to sign. They stated that my child would be given a first warning letter (SP)," he said.

Then NCW was asked by her homeroom teacher to go to the principal's office. She was punished not to attend lessons until 14.00 WIB.

“Luckily there was a class leader who was willing to help buy her drinking water. My child was released from the room during the last lesson,” he said.

Long story short, Felix received an email from Ehipassiko School that NCW was expelled from school, with the sentence ‘returned to parents’ on Thursday, August 1.

“I am worried that my child has dropped out of school early. Even though the teaching and learning process has only been going on for two weeks. What will happen to her regarding her education rights. Even though the child’s future is still long,” he said.

After the incident, Felix admitted that his child was often sad and admitted that she was embarrassed to meet her school friends.

“She is stressed not receiving any more learning. Let alone meeting and playing with her school friends. Why is the school so cruel to fire or expel Niken from school,” he said.

Felix questioned the school's attitude that easily expelled his daughter.

VOI reporters tried to contact the Ehipassiko School in BSD, Tangsel. However, until this news was broadcast, the school was reluctant to provide information.
