‘Eat pig brains to enhance yours’: China teacher fired for tirade in which he called students dogs, attacked their abilities
- Frustrated by insubordination, teacher launches stinging attack on intellectual capacity of students
- ‘Is there anything in your brains except mobile phones?’ annoyed academic asks
A teacher at a vocational school in China has been dismissed after he called students dogs and told them to eat pig brains to boost their intellectual capacity.
The teacher, surnamed Sun, was a class counsellor for first-year students at Anhui Senior Industry Technical School, a tertiary education institute for skilled labour in Anhui province in southeastern China.
His outburst, which has sparked a fierce debate over teacher behaviour, came on October 9 when he became frustrated by students who failed to follow his instructions despite multiple requests, according to The Paper.
The teacher had told students to prepare a photo and stick it to a sheet of paper because they were scheduled to go through their physical checkup on October 10.
However, on deadline, several students said they had not yet taken a photo, according to an unnamed school official.
This infuriated Sun, who began to berate the offending students via text message.
