‘Don’t be crispy instant noodles’: China teacher drives home anti-bullying message with rock moral story to class
- Pupils get bullying message via ‘noodles and rock’ story
- Teacher praised online for method in cultivating students
A primary school teacher in China has won online praise for a vivid and imaginative anti-bullying lecture she gave to her class.
The teacher, Jian Dan, from northeastern China’s Liaoning province, gave a morning lecture to a group of Primary Two pupils on November 29, and posted a video of it that has attracted 600,000 likes so far on Douyin.
Jian said the mother of one of her students had told her that her son was bullied by his classmate, who kept stepping on her son and borrowing his rubbers without giving them back.
She said the boy was so scared that he once held onto his rubber for a whole day at school.
In a bid to resolve the situation Jian invited a pupil in the class to play a game in which she asked him to squeeze a pack of crispy instant noodles, hit an apple and squeeze and hit a rock.
While the student crumbled the noodles easily, he could not hurt the rock no matter how hard he hit it.
