A HIGH school student in Kansas who vomited on his Spanish teacher has been charged with battery against a school official, prosecutors said.
The misdemeanour charge was filed against the 17-year-old juvenile whose name was not released.
The student's father said his son did not mean to throw up on the teacher but had been made uncontrollably ill by the stress of final exams.
Prosecutors, however, insisted that vomiting was intentional.
The teacher, David Young, called the act "outrageous" and said that "a message is being sent by both the school district and the district attorney that this behaviour will not be tolerated".
The father said the district expelled his son and recommended he enrol in an alternative school.
