Parents listed many confusing cases. A teacher who orders a student to stand in class for ten minutes may be considered as giving physical punishment by parents, while the teacher will think it helps them learn to concentrate in class, reported the local newspaper.
"Communication between teachers and parents is helpful in making an accurate judgment on whether there is physical punishment," Chu Zhaohui, a researcher from the China National Institute for Educational Research, told the Global Times, adding that parent committees should be promoted in schools and kindergartens.
Chu pointed out that abuse incidents are always caused by teachers who have faulty professional ethics and the ultimate way of preventing abuse is to help teachers build a correct moral standard. "The best way is to provide moral training to new teachers and to give strict examination on qualification certificate," he said
