Corporal punishment introduced in a Chinese school (2 photos)

New rules have been introduced at the Longyuan Experimental Private School in Yangjiang.





We are talking about the Longyuan Experimental School in Guangdong Province. On February 15, the school confirmed the new rules to the publication, noting that these are “long-standing rules” of the educational institution. However, on February 18, school representatives refused to talk to journalists amid the scandal that erupted. The local education department called on the school to abandon corporal punishment and promised to investigate cases of beating students. The new school rules were initially published by users on the Internet.

According to one of the provisions, the school can use two types of corporal punishment for students who make mistakes: hitting the palms with a pointer or ruler no more than ten times for each offense and standing on the feet for up to two hours without the opportunity to sit down. It is noted that this is necessary so that students learn to be responsible for their mistakes and become "law-abiding citizens." "Education without discipline is an incomplete education," the document said. The rules allow for the use of physical punishment if students do not do their homework.



The document also states that boys are prohibited from wearing long hair, and girls are prohibited from wearing makeup, manicures, and jewelry. In addition, the cost of their casual clothes should not exceed 100 yuan, and shoes - 80 yuan. In this way, the school wants to protect students from comparisons and vanity, and also instill in them a simple lifestyle, the rules say. Students are also prohibited from visiting Internet cafes at any time. Parents are advised to turn off the Internet and television at home, as they negatively affect students, their lives and studies, the document says.
