The teacher is an elder and only gets paid 40 RMB ($5 USD) for a lesson. See the video: http://www.shanghaiist.com/archives/2007/05/29/students_from_h.php
It was already posted in The Lounge but without the background info. http://www.dramasian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17123 (and I think there are worse cases of students without respect for the teachers in the class)
^ dont you mean 簡 直 不知所謂 (or am i wrong -whistle) yeh its not that bad, not what i expected in china, but ive seen worse in terms of behaviour towards teachers
Ahh, Its a shame. Those kids just don't care about there education and want to mess around. I hate those kind of people. If they want t omess around, they can just bunk and not turn up. Why bother to turn up if their gonna mess about!
the world is coming to an end as we know it.... first it's a bunch of kids harassing and abusing a mentally deficient kid, and now this
hmm the story sounds a lot worse than the actual video. those kids were just being obnoxious and there needs to be more discipline
thats terrible. I blame the poisoning of the chinese youths from the damn american media being flown to china.
People like that just really make me wanan slap them silly-ann. Those studdents are just retarded and end up regretting doing those things. And the teacher only getting 5USD per lesson-ann basically labour.
Agree... it is sad how ppl can treat an elder like that. Can't believe this coming from China. A place where I thought they'd treat their elders with more respect.
it's sad that the kids treat teachers that way but in all honesty here in the states there has been worse done to teachers and they put up with a lot more crap from students. I have read about the story from another website don't remember which one but the teacher has said he has forgiven all the students for what they did. and they have learned their lesson. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. although on a side note the news website linked the abuse to what happened in the 60's or 70's when chinese students started to abuse teachers and started china's cultural revolution back then.
humm... wonder y the teacher doesnt kick them out of the class or something.....those kids need to get their ass beat... picking on old ppl.. what a shame....
i am not going to watch the clip due to the comments written. but to me its not suprising that students abuse teachers... it happens all around the world. some teachers let it happen while others make your life a living hell.
