A student failed to learn her lines for a play.
Surveillance camera footage shows Lee physically assaulting a female student at the school’s affiliated junior college during Hakka drama class, kicking her in the stomach and the back five times, before hitting her head and slapping her.
The video shows how the student is repeatedly pushed back by Lee and struggles to get back on her feet while the beating continues.
This is the part I’m confused about.
The school, which was formerly a junior college, had a tradition of corporal punishment before it was upgraded to a college, Lee said, adding that he realized the practice is no longer acceptable.
It’s okay to do it in junior colleges, just not in colleges?
