A sixth grade boy in Quang Nam was beaten by his homeroom teacher with a ruler, leaving both legs bruised after a collision with a classmate during physical education class. The school has temporarily suspended the teacher for five days.

The principal also said that the school has temporarily suspended this teacher for 5 days to clarify the incident. Teachers beating students like that is unacceptable for any reason, the principal shared.

The incident of a teacher beating a 6th grade male student happened after physical education class on November 12. On the afternoon of November 13, the student’s family posted an article on social media, along with pictures of the student’s bruised legs.

According to the boy's family, at first he refused to talk because he was afraid of having his conduct grade lowered. After his family persuaded him, he told the story of how he was beaten by his teacher after gym class.

The female teacher also admitted to using a small ruler to hit the soft tissue of the student’s leg. A representative of the school and the teacher visited the student’s home and coordinated with the family to take the male student to the doctor.

The school also asked the family to remove the post on social media to avoid any unpleasant incidents with all parties.
