Chinese teacher receives SMS threat over grades
August 2nd, 2011 - 2:52 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, Aug 2 (IANS) A teacher at a university in China received an SMS from a student who threatened dire consequences if better grades were not awarded him.
The teacher from Nanjing city in Jiangsu province received the SMS message July 17, cursing her family to death for giving a student a low grade.
Thereafter, Yang received three more text messages demanding she enhance the scores or face retaliation, the China Daily cited China Youth Daily as reporting.
