In such cases, fingers are usually pointed at the teachers, blaming them for failing to bring up "qualified citizens". These accusations are unfair. Teachers certainly have the responsibility to teach their students to be good. But the education rests on all of society, including the parents and other influences, such as the entertainment industry.
In fact, teachers currently lack the ability of their precedents. Excessive parental pampering and undue application of "minor's rights" have led to an overly high degree of scruple in teachers in educating their students. They tend to shun unruly students rather than discipline them. They've even developed a fear for confrontation. The aforementioned case in Guangdong is a typical instance.
Last Friday, three teen students in a middle school in Lufeng, Guangdong province, trounced their teacher who tried to stop them from talking during an exam. The students even summoned their parents to the campus by mobile phones. The parents armed with knives came to join their kids to subject the teacher to repeated attacks. The teacher was seriously wounded and may lose one of his eyes.
In an inopportune defiance of the current fashion of talking about "protecting the minor's rights", I have to humbly say that my worry is not that supervision by the teachers in Chinese campuses is too strict but rather that teachers are too reluctant to rectify kids who are behaving badly.
Nowadays, any measures taken by schools to discipline students, for example codes on students' attire and hairstyle or limits on their access to Internet, would be criticized by "experts" and media commentators as "disrespectful to students' rights". I wonder how these "experts" enjoying "moral superiority" would react if teachers gave up on maintaining classroom and campus order.
