It must be great to go to a private school — better facilities, better teachers and even better students. Students going to a private school must feel more superior, even if slightly, than their public school school counterparts.

Well not if you live in Taiwan and go to this particular private school…

A 57 year old english teacher is accused of sexually harassing his students. These middle schoolers say that the teacher curses often during class and has a very humiliating way of punishing students. When faced with unruly students, the teacher would grab the boys genitals and/or take a pen to poke the anus (back and forth).

Check out these poor middle schoolers reenact their teacher’s abuse in the video below:

The students have reported their teacher to the principal. The school has now reported the matter to the Ministry of Education and has formed a formal committee to investigate the claims.

I think this homo-pedo needs to be locked up? Immediately?

An English teacher in Kunming asks her student the meaning of “up to you” in Chinese. In an epic translations fail or probably the most genius intentional mistake ever, the student says “上你“. “上你” literally means “up yours” in English.

Normally, this would just be your funny afternoon in class but the teacher was not very pleased. The female teacher, who took the boy’s response too personally, became infuriated and decided to give the boy a good beating.

This may be a shock to most of those who still believe China to be a cruel and backwards country, but physical punishment for students was banned long ago.

The parents of this boy were equally infuriated; complained to to the school board who decided to suspend the teacher. Now other parents aren’t please and want the teacher back.

So those who think China is still old-fashioned, you are not entirely wrong – at least some parents are.

I personally despise teachers who resort to beating a child. If you can’t teach without physical punishment, you probably don’t have the skills to teach.

What are your views on circumcision? Is it really better to be circumcised? Or is it just plain wrong?

A math teacher in Taiwan thought it would be appropriate to spend 17 minutes in class discussing such issues. He even shared a few stories of his own…

But enough explaining; watch the video! A video is worth a million words.
