Pre-school teacher in China unconcerned while colleague slaps and kicks 2 students
A pre-school teacher in China was caught on CCTV repeatedly hitting and kicking two male students, all while her colleague observed them silently.
Footage of the incident posted on Chinese social media Weibo and Douyin on Tuesday (Sept 26) shows the errant teacher sitting on a stool at the front of the classroom with a boy standing beside her.
As she starts shouting at the boy, she repeatedly slaps the side and back of his head, and also kicks his buttocks while he flinches away.
She then stands up to grab his shoulder and continues kicking him, causing the boy to start wailing loudly.
The teacher then sits down again with her hands crossed on her chest disapprovingly and continues chatting with her colleague who silently witnessed the scene.
When the boy continued crying, she threateningly raised her palm in the air before slapping him again, forcing the boy to take a step back.
Subsequently, she turns her attention to his classmate, kicking and striking the frightened boy in a similar fashion as he tries to escape.
Meanwhile, her colleague watches on nonchalantly while swinging her legs, making no effort to stop her actions.
Teacher fired
