school teacher has been suspended after he was filmed beating up a young girl in his class in an attack that was so violent it reduced many of the other pupils to tears.
It only ended when a couple of the male pupils pulled the teacher away from the girl at the Pengdian High School in Xinyang City, in central China’s Henan Province.
The pair, who were not named in local media reports, were allegedly arguing in class over school work when the 16-year-old girl yelled at her teacher, who retaliated by striking her on the head with a book.
In the footage recorded by one of the students in the classroom, the girl retaliates physically, but is quickly beaten to the ground by the taller and stronger male teacher.
Several students begin crying during the incident, while others get involved and yell at the teacher for hitting the pupil.
Pengdian High School released a statement saying that the pupil was taken to hospital for treatment of her injuries, and that the school will be covering her medical expenses.
In addition, the school has decided to suspend the male teacher for the way he handled the incident, despite the fact the girl’s parents have already spoken to the teacher and quickly forgave him for the part he played in the incident.
The statement released by the school said: "The decision to suspend the teacher was taken because the school believes the teacher has set a bad example of how to handle disobedient children."
