BEIJING: A 10-year-old Chinese boy jumped 30 floors to his death after failing to write a self-criticism letter demanded by his teacher, state media reported on Thursday.
The fifth-grade primary school student had been ordered to write a 1,000-character apology by his teacher for talking in class, China National Radio (CNR) reported on its website, citing a neighbour.
The educator allegedly told him to jump out of a building after he failed to complete the task, the report quoted relatives and the neighbour as saying.
"Teacher, I can't do it," was found written in one of his textbooks, CNR said. "I flinched several times when I tried to jump from the building."
The child smashed into a parked car beneath the flat where his family live, the West China City News reported.
His furious relatives posted a banner outside the school in the southwestern city of Chengdu reading: "The teacher forced our kid to jump off the building," pictures showed on Thursday.

wow you read my mind!!
Wow! Even when I was 10, I know what I would have told the “teacher” he could go take a flying leap at. I guess I’ll never make a good communist.
Sounds like the hazing back in the days in prep school.
Are the youth in Asia going whole hog for euthanasia?
Go take a long walk off a short pier.
Go take a short walk off a tall building.
What a maroon.
What a good Party member. An example for Democrats everywhere.
self-criticism
commies are big on that kind of stuff
Why is that so strange?
The no information voter is leading the entire U.S. towards eventual euthanasia.
The good news is that we will all have Cadillac Health Care membership (Don't dare call it insurance!)
The bad news is that you aren't allowed to live as long, for it to work.

I have no doubt it will come to public schools here, if its not already under a different guise.
