Yes, your comment made me think deeper of my own undestanding of this teacher and his mis-behavior.
He’s no wrong as a personal, naturally. But when he’s blamed for his professional misconduct, we should put more attention on why he didn’t acquire sufficient and propoer training to handle himself and manage his pupils. That’s because the authority and administration didn’t give enough attention to staff and student safty and, then, didn’t provide training to the faculty and their student.
That’s not a problem to a single runner, but for the administration, in long term view.
I would agree with that. That might one lesson China takes away from this horrible tragedy. Most of China is prone to earthquakes and needs to update their buildings accordingly.
They also need to make sure public officials: teachers, police, hospital staff, etc are all trained about how to evacuate or relocate in case of an earthquake or other disaster such as a fire.
