A ten-year-old boy in China has died after his teacher reportedly told him to jump from a 30-storey building.
According to HindustanTimes, the fifth-grade primary school boy, named Jun Jun, had made noise in class, so his teacher asked him to write a 1,000-character apology for talking in class.
When the young boy failed to write the apology, his teacher ordered him to jump off the building.
Scene
Chinese tradition demands strict discipline and respect to elders/superiors so kids are under pressure
to obey instructions.
'Teacher, I can't do it,' was found written in one of the young boy's textbooks as he hesitated jumping. 'I flinched several times when I tried to jump from the building.'
Eventually, he jumped and smashed into a parked car beneath the flat where his family lives.
The boy's school say that the child and some of his classmates had been ordered to write reviews of their behaviour after they disturbed a speaking competition, that he died 'by accident'.
His devastated parents have now launched a campaign against the extreme pressure put on Chinese students.
