A private school in confederate China was criticized for ordering parents to sign off on regulations that approved the application of corporal punishment to students.
Longyuan's experimental school in Yangjiang, Guangdong state was exposed in mid-February for having asked her students' parents to agree to apply penalties, including beating hands and standing for a long time.
According to regulations, teachers can hit students in the hands no more than 10 times for each punishment, while punishment in a stand may last for up to 2 hours.
"We strive for students to be liable for the mistakes they have made. This will make them more aware of the prevention of akin errors and become good, law-abiding citizens," the regulation states.
The paper besides prohibits male students from wearing long hair, and girls from wearing lipstick, manicure or wearing jewelry.
In addition, to advance a cost-effective way of reasoning among students, the school said they should wear clothes worth little than 100 yuan (14 USD) and shoes cheaper than 80 yuan (11 USD).
The school has 2,500 students from the first to ninth grade.
She is considered to be the best school in the city due to the advanced scores her students have achieved on entrance exams for advanced schools in fresh years.
If students or parents do not accept regulations, the school suggests moving them to another schools, said an unidentified teacher.
"Physical punishment is imposed in those who do not do their homework or make mistakes in the classroom. This can only be done erstwhile a week and serves as a reminder for students," she said.
"The punishment of standing is imposed on students who fall asleep in class or do not focus on homework," the teacher added.
The school claimed that the rules were in line with the disciplinary punishment regulation of the Ministry of Education for primary and secondary schools, which entered into force in 2021.
However, the decree of the ministry prohibits all forms of corporal punishment, requiring that the punishment in the stand be no longer than a lesson or about 45 minutes.
Opposition to public opinion prompted the local education department to call the school to "fix its problem".
"We assure you that they will no longer ask their parents to sign specified a contract," said the official.
This message resumed the discussion on the legitimacy of the usage of corporal punishment on campuses.
One of the net users said, "Physical penalties should be definitely banned at school. Teachers should lead students to grow healthy through love and patience."
But another individual said, "Since my 2 children moved to this school, they have become more polite and their academic performance has improved.
"Teachers regularly communicate with me and will punish my children if they make mistakes. I support the school."
