Beijing: A maths
teacher ordered his students to slap their own faces for three
minutes for disturbing the class, causing parents to seek his
resignation. However, some of the students have jumped to his
defence, saying he has not "done anything wrong".
The incident took place in Donglu Middle School in Pudong Tuesday
when maths teacher Yang ordered 20 students to slap their faces
after they made noise in the class, reported Shanghai Daily.
Those who slapped lightly were ordered to slap harder, students
told the Oriental Morning Post.
Some parents said on microblog Weibo.com that "Yang should resign
for his shameful behaviour that violated the basic principles to
be a teacher".
However, some students defended their teacher.
"I don't think that Yang has done anything wrong," said a
13-year-old student on a microblog.
"We students will be the victims to suffer losses if he no longer
teaches us."
