A parent yesterday sued a Nairobi school for suspending his daughter for allegedly daydreaming in class.
In his case filed before High Court Judge Pauline Nyamweya, the parent claimed his daughter was kicked out of Moi Girls School Nairobi after she dozed off in class, entering into the dream world, in which her classmates started shouting.
The Form Two student is said to have slept during class hours- 10.30am and 11.30am on January 21, while teachers were attending a meeting.
The shouts attracted the school’s secretary, who asked the girl to go to the matron’s office for further action.
“I met the principal’s secretary at the school in company of a counsellor, who told me that the petitioner was sleeping in class,” narrated the parent.
He told the court he was informed by the school’s secretary to take the minor to a counsellor at Kenyatta National Hospital.
