HONG KONG JUDGE AND MAINLAND CHINESE LAW PROFESSOR BOTH INSIST THEY MAKE NO MISTAKES FOR THEIR ABNORMAL BEHAVOURS IN DAILY LIFE


---TO SEE A BEIJING LAW SCHOOL PROFESSOR SCODES HIS STUDENTS IN CLASSROOM FOR TEN MINUTES LONG FEELING NO REGRETS
According to a news report by Hong Kong Headline of 9th January 2008, a law professor with Beijing University of Political Science & Law, feeling upset by constant absence of class by his students, angrily scolded his students in the classroom recently by saying “bullshit”, “son of bitch”, “son of animals”, and also had conflict with one girl student. The incident has aroused hot debates among teachers and students, who consider the professor’s act defame the law school.

It is said that in the evening last Friday, Professor Yang, Fan of Business School with the Beijing University of Political Science & Law was scheduled to lecture on his last class. Since there was a compulsory course that all students had to participate in for its examination the next day, therefore, quite a number of students were absent for its preparation. Seeing that just a few students were present for class, Professor Yang started to lock the classroom and counted the present students, warning that the absent students were all deemed to have punishment as “violation of examination rules”. Professor Yang also warned that the present students could not send signals to those absent ones, or they would deemed to bear the same punishments.

It was not very long, however, that about 30 absent students turned up, expecting to secretly walk into the classroom. One boy student was so angry that he could not stop kicking on the main door. Professor Yang then fell into rages, started to shout at and scold the outside students “bastards”, “son of animals”, “son of bitch”, “dare to kick but no dare to admit”. The angry curses lasted for 10 minutes.

A girl student intended to leave the classroom, but was shouted stopping by Professor Yang. The girl student pointed out to him: Don’t you feel senseless to talk about all those things in class ?” Professor Yang then rushed out of the classroom, grabbing the girl student’s arms in order to send her to the school securities, during which they had conflicts, the girl student kicked twice at the professor.

The incident aroused arguments among teachers and students, feeling Professor Yang’s behaviors defame the law school.

Professor Yang states, however, that he does not feel regretful to his acts, insisting school punish the relevant students. The school has now started investigations into the incident.

(Comments: Being a once law school lecturer for 5 five years in earlier 90’s in Beijing, I feel shameful for Professor Yang’ behaviors. Should students not appear in class to listen to courses, the students might have some mistakes, the professor, however, should think more why they do that. It is greatly because the professor is always repeating boringly his years-old textbook or teaching guidelines without teaching techniques and lively examples. In fact, it is the professor, rather than the students, who should properly be reeducated or criticized. We can see from the incident as well that professors in Beijing are not always all rounded good persons, they may have in-depth knowledge in their academic fields or maybe not, they also need improving themselves in terms of spiritual minds, morals, patience and etc, or how to become a normal person in all circumstances)
