At 4pm on May 25, a video was posted on the Internet. In this video, there were more than 20 students in a classroom for a geography lesson. The students were napping, talking, horsing around and one of them was roaming around filming. One student said: “This is the geography lesson. Watch the show.” Then he walked up to the teacher and removed the teacher’s white hat. The class roared in laughter. Later, that student went up to the teacher and made for a physical confrontation. Another student threw a water bottle at the teacher while the first student yelled: “That stupid c*nt! Kill him!” The teacher just kept on with his lecture. The video was apparently posted by a female student in the class. Within three hours, there were 5,000 visits and 100 angry comments. The video was deleted at 7pm, but it has already been copied and distributed across the Intenet.
I think the inherent respect for teachers among Indians can never lead to such a situation. What say?
A shame, no doubt, but it happens. It happens to substitute teachers in the US.
Are you sure that is a classroom in China, not Japan?
India has a lot of catching up to do to be at par with student etiquette as it exists in certain parts of the world.
Thanks for sharing Sharique.
