;the money was still here during lunch, but by the time I finished doing the dishes, it had disappeared:
School officials searched the classroom in the afternoon
and stopped two school buses after school to search the students
Male students were frisked
One boy was asked to take off his shoes
Later, the class tutor received two envelopes containing the missing money with an additional NT$800
Some parents were offended that the school had treated their kids like thieves. They called Apple Action News
The school said it didn·t call the police because it didn·t want a student to end up with a criminal record
It said it will continue to stop school buses for inspection but will not frisk students again
The Humanistic Education Foundation condemned the school for violating human rights and frisking students
It said it is not the students· responsibility to keep track of school fees
