10 students in a primary school in Dongguan City were punished by their teachers for walking for nearly one hour for making indecent gestures in class. Afterwards, the teacher involved was dismissed, but 1 of the 47 parents in the class involved retained the teacher in the hope that she would return to school.

Many netizens also agreed with the teacher's corporal punishment of students, believing that even if the method is inappropriate, it should be tolerated. Scolding students at every turn, with the aim of making students afraid, is not normal education.
