the school has gone to great lengths to come up with a "management measure" that, even if exposed and criticized, has little cost. so it is conceivable that such a school cannot possibly restrain its impulse to abuse its power.

guangming online commentator

recently, a parent of a student in nanning, guangxi, broke the news to a reporter, saying that a first-grade student in nanning xingwang primary school had his mouth sealed with tape by a teacher named yang because he talked in class. the teacher said in an interview with the reporter that she did seal the student's mouth with tape, and she apologized to the student and the parent afterwards, and she has been dismissed by the school.

this is not the first bizarre punishment in recent times. just two days ago, the news that a high school student at yundong middle school in huairen city, shuozhou, shanxi province, was convicted of a major disciplinary violation for going to the toilet after 11 p.m. also shocked the public. the student went to the toilet after 11 p.m. and was given a serious warning by the school. he was deducted 5 points from the class's moral education assessment for this month as a "major disciplinary violation" and was required to print 1,000 copies of "self-awareness" at his own expense and distribute them to each class and dormitory.

in recent years, people have become accustomed to all kinds of bizarre punishments. but people are still "shocked" again and again, and the degree of bizarreness is constantly being lowered. why is this? the reason may be simple, because these schools have not paid the real price.

just like the two cases cited above. the teacher who taped his mouth was fired, but the school did not punish him in any way, not even a proper statement. when a reporter asked how many students had their mouths taped, the staff member said it was inconvenient to disclose.

in the second case, the punishment for the school was to "conduct a thorough inspection" and "refund the entire copying fee of 100 yuan." the "refund of 100 yuan" was even highlighted in the notice, which can be called a "masterstroke." this number itself may be a metaphor, measuring the price borne by this school.

if you think about it carefully, this is a very strange phenomenon. when online celebrities fail to promote products, public opinion calls for severe punishment; when merchants make and sell counterfeit goods, public opinion calls for severe punishment; but when it comes to these schools that have introduced strange school rules and strange punishments, it seems that few people mention severe punishment. these strange punishments, such as rules that go against human nature and have no reason to violate the rules for going to the toilet, actually have no severe punishment, which is really outrageous.

this is why there have been so many bizarre punishments in the past and it is unlikely to be eradicated in the future. schools have tried every possible means to come up with a "management measure" that will cost them almost nothing even if it is exposed and criticized. so it is conceivable that such schools will not be able to restrain their impulse to abuse their power.

interestingly, many people on the internet support the school's measures, and think that students should be "strictly controlled." this attitude probably gives the school a lot of confidence. this is the sadder side, that so many people are responding to the weird school. they don't care what the purpose of education is, what human growth is for, and all they think about is to cut, build, and cut an originally complete and full person into a set of so-called regulations.

here i will use an article to summarize: "they cut the main branches, grow the side branches, remove the dense branches, kill the young branches, hoe the straight branches, and suppress their vitality in order to get a high price, but the plum trees in jiangsu and zhejiang are all sick. the disaster of literati and painters has reached this level!"

this passage comes from gong zizhen's "the sick plum pavilion". i wonder how those strictly managed schools taught this text at the time and what kind of answers they regarded as standard answers. this is really curious.
