A grade 1 pupil from the prestigious St Stithians College has been left with hearing problems following an alleged bullying incident by a fellow learner.
The boy allegedly shoved pencil shavings in her ears and threatened to put the entire pencil inside one of her ears if she told anyone.
The childs mother said this was not the first time her child had been bullied at the private school in Lyme Park, Sandton, in the 10 months she had been there.
