A schoolmaster in east China's Jiangxi Province denied that it was heavy homework that made three girl students attempt suicide on Monday, Jiangnan Metropolis Daily reported today.
The three 10-year-old girls jumped from a second-floor apartment on Monday morning because they didn't finish their homework during the weekend. They suffered fractures and one girl lost the feeling of both legs.
They said their teachers would punish them by beating or forcing them to stand outside the classroom if they didn't finish the homework. They tried to kill themselves to avoid the punishment and heavy homework.
Zhou Liangqi, the principal of Saiyang Primary School in Jiujiang City, told the newspaper that the homework assigned by their teachers can be done in three hours.
He said the three girls failed to finish the homework due to their bad habit and he denied the allegation of physical punishment, saying most students have parents working in other cities and the teachers are acting like their parents, urging them to do homework.
