She died in hospital after her grandmother collected her and she couldn’t open her eyes. Picture: SCTV/NewsflashPolice said the student started to feel dizzy from a concussion and was later taken to hospital by her grandmother and her teacher, dying later that afternoon.Her grandmother told media the teacher only started working at the school this semester and her granddaughter was scared to attend the class because she said the teacher loved to punish students by beating them.
Politicians in the southern Guangdong province were last year considering a draft regulation to legalise some commonly used measures.“There is a consensus that teachers ought to take disciplinary action against students, but how to do it remains a difficult question,” Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of think tank 21st Century Education Research Institute, said last year.

Trump gets no credit for daily 'handling hostile questions intelligently' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host James Morrow says the media criticises Trump as a disaster and gives him no credit for taking up to an hour and a half of questions from a hostile press daily and handling it intelligently.\n\n“During the 2016 campaign … we had the media here, in the United States, the ABC, … all say ‘this guy’s a disaster, he says all these ridiculous things, he shoots off the cuff’,” Mr Morrow told Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\n“Every day, I would be listening to the actual press conferences he was holding, the rallies he was holding, he would take 45 minutes, an hour or an hour and a half of questions every single day from a really hostile press, handle it intelligently.\n\n“He’s doing the same thing now, he gets no credit for that.\n\n“Joe Biden, on the other hand, he had one interview with the rapper woman Cardi B - he won’t go in front of any hostile press at all.”\n\nImage: AP
