According to initial reports, out of 40 students in the class, 35 were allegedly forced by their teacher to lick dirt in the classroom.

Many parents believe that the school environment must ensure the physical and mental safety of students. The application of such insulting punishment, if true, is unacceptable in the context of the education sector striving to build a friendly and positive image. In addition, many people are calling on the community to remain calm and wait for the official conclusion from the authorities to avoid spreading unverified information.

Accordingly, authorities are currently gathering information from various sources, including the school's administration, relevant teachers, and parents.

While awaiting an official conclusion, the story continues to spark debate on online forums. Many education experts argue that, under any circumstances, teachers need to choose methods appropriate for elementary school students. At this age, children are very sensitive and easily psychologically vulnerable to humiliating or offensive punishments in front of the group. Negative experiences in the classroom can leave long-lasting effects on children's self-confidence and trust in their teachers.
