There’s been an alarming rise in violent incidents involving teachers and their students in China. A recent viral video on Douyin spotlighted the issue and ended with a teacher being suspended from their position.
A teacher at the Jinquan Primary School in Hunan, China, recorded a violent attack on students at the hands of the school’s math teacher. In the viral video, the math teacher continually assaults a female student by yelling at her and pulling her hair. The violence escalated as the teacher repeatedly slammed the girl’s head into a desk.
Despite another student’s attempt to stop the attack, the teacher threw a book at him and continued her assault on the female student. After banging the girl’s head onto a desk, the teacher scratched her face and slapped her with a book. She then set her sights on another victim.
After a male student handed his homework to the math teacher, she yelled at him and then punched him in the face. The video of the math teacher’s violent attacks on her students went viral as Chinese netizens expressed their shock at the horrifying abuse.
- “Oh my god, it’s too horrible.”
- “Why isn’t anyone in the office trying to stop the cruel teacher?”
With so many people having seen the video, China’s Ministry of Education was forced to take action. They opened an investigation and began seeking justice for the abused students by suspending the teacher.
