(Seoul = Newsis) Intern Reporter Hwayeon Yoo = A teacher who slapped a child for eating snacks at school is causing public outrage.
According to China’s Liaoning Daily on the 23rd (local time), a fourth-grade elementary school student in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province was slapped by a teacher while eating a snack in class.
In the reported video, the teacher stood the child in front of the blackboard and admitted to violence by saying, “I slapped the child because he didn’t listen and didn’t respond,” and “I slapped him on the other side of the cheek.”
He especially warned, “If the child disobeys me again, I will slap him on the other cheek.” He confidently asked, “What kind of fourth-grade student would break the school rules and have such a bad influence on his friends?”
He also told the child to thank him for hitting him. The child bowed his head in gratitude. The teacher asked, “Who did I hit for?” and the child answered, “Me.”
This video was filmed by the teacher himself to be sent to the child’s parents.
The Liuzhou City Education Bureau announced on the 22nd that the investigation into the incident confirmed that all facts were true, and that it would handle the incident strictly in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and education policies, and that it would deploy professional psychological counseling personnel to provide psychological counseling to students.
A school official said, “There were many snack stalls at the entrance to the elementary school, so we made a rule prohibiting snacks from being brought into the school for the health of children. However, when the teacher in question found a child eating snacks, he took the extreme step,” adding, “The leadership continues to hold meetings.” “It’s in the process, so we’ll take care of it soon,” he said.
Netizens responded with comments such as “It is the educator’s responsibility to protect the child’s self-esteem and dignity,” “That is not education, that is just slapping the child to vent their anger,” and “How must the parents have felt when they received that video?”
