According to the professional conclusion on March 23 from Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, the student suffered injuries, not a broken arm due to being beaten as initially rumored.
This truth does not change the nature of the violation, the teacher using a ruler to hit students is an unacceptable behavior in the educational environment.
Leaders of Thuan Hoa Ward People's Committee affirmed that the teacher's use of a ruler to hit students was wrong, requesting the school and teachers to seriously take responsibility and not let it happen again; but also affirmed that the information "teacher hits and breaks student's arm" is not true.
Looking back at the information related to this case in the past few days, it shows that the haste and exaggeration in public opinion have gone beyond the nature of the case.
An initial incomplete X-ray conclusion, coupled with the speed of social media, quickly turned a wrongdoing into a heavy "ethical judgment".
The teacher is labeled as violent to the point of "breaking the student's arm".
Information is pushed further than the truth, the consequences are not only limited to misunderstanding but become damage to honor.
It should be made clear that trauma is completely different from fractures.
In this case, the student had a history of fractures before, and the final conclusion determined to be elbow and wrist injuries.
Equating these two concepts is not only professionally wrong but also creates a distorted perception of the level of behavior.
A fair society is not only about handling the wrong person correctly but also about not pushing the wrong person further than the mistake they have caused.
The teacher in this case needs to be handled according to regulations is undeniable, but assigning her a more serious act than reality, spreading unverified information is another form of "violence".
The consequences of "exaggerating" are not only limited to an individual but also create anxiety in the teaching staff, who are already under a lot of pressure.
More worryingly, the student who was beaten by the teacher was also affected.
A story that is pushed to a climax, widely spread, unintentionally makes me the center of unwanted attention.
Physical injuries can be recovered, but psychological pressure from public opinion is difficult to measure.
In all cases related to education, the most important thing is sobriety.
Teachers with violations must be handled according to regulations, but public opinion cannot "convict" when based only on false information.
