ChinaSmack points us to this shocking and sad story of 11 year old student Zhang Yaoyin in Hunan Province who had her had smashed against the desk by her teacher numerous times, then hit savagely with a metal bar before going thrown out of the window of the fourth storey classroom to her death.
This incident occurred in September 2006 but was given fresh attention via a new post on the Chinese forum Mop and a CCTV report in May this year [Warning: graphic images].

had her had?
they need to release more info on teacher. I'd love to pummel his face to a pulp.
child abuse is rampant in this country. if you report it to police, they tell you that this is chinese style education, you just don't understand it.
neighbours children "study" even during the holidays 9-5, the ones who resist and want to play outside risk a viscios beating.
I would not call it study, I would call it "spending time starring at books". also a form of child abuse, leading nowhere.
little wonder that there is so ridiculously little academic excellence coming out of this country of 1.3 billion.
Makes Running Fan sound like a saint
Yea, graphic images from 2006..
What happens to the teacher?
So is Shanghaiist just going to start reposting the sickest stuff from China Smack now and pretending it's a current event?
The teacher, from what I understand, had a history of mental illness with a propensity for violence but was still allowed to teach. I believe he ended up being institutionalized again.
that is so f§%ked up.
but do not say that the chinese have no academic excellence.but ROTE learning does limit their prowess and thinking to a matter of recall.hey the language requires it.
i actually seen in the countryside a small girl given a stick to beat her classmates with-interesting version of corporal punishment-peer punishment
We could use a few more teachers like him in New York...
in this case, the teacher deserves to be beaten and so does his children.
