Daniel Johnson, 14, was pulled out of class after he turned up for lessons without his homework
He was spoken to by the teacher and asked why he did not do his homework that had been set in the previous day. Daniel responded "I had better things to do than s**t homework." He was immediately escorted to the headmaster's office and promptly told he was being permanently removed from the school.
His mother Laura Johnson, 36, of Greenhill Road, Herne Bay, has defended her son, saying that he was too busy "playing video games" and "watching TV" to do homework.
The school has told Miss Johnson her son must not return to the school grounds - otherwise he would be arrested and charged with trespassing.
Miss Johnson said: "Schools giving homework to children is just plain torture, they spend 6 hours for 5 days of the week being subjected to this crap and they should not be given homework.
"My son was extremely busy the night he was given the homework, he was playing on his Xbox and watching Jeremy Kyle re-runs on the ITV playback feature on their website."
"Surely that is much more important than his education?
"I mean Jeremy Kyle is on between 9:25am and 10:30am, and the school force him to be in between 9am and 3pm, they make him miss his TV show so he should not do their homework. It's only fair."
"Daniel is only 14, his entertainment comes BEFORE his education in my view.
"I fully support and uphold his decision to refuse to do their homework."
Principal Dr Claire Owen said: "We are unable to comment on individual students' circumstances. In fact we are unable to comment on the fact that we are unable to comment."
