Teacher made us take off pants, young students say

A second-grader accused her math teacher of taking off her pants in front of the entire class as punishment for not obeying her instructions in a primary school in the southern city of Huizhou.

The girl's revelation followed other students' complaints that at least 10 classmates had received the same punishment for minor infractions. The Deyuan Primary School has launched a probe into the allegations, which the teacher, Xu Liping, has denied.

"Once we confirm it, we will be sure to fire her," the Nanfang Daily quoted the headmaster as saying.

The girl, Xiao Wen, said she was humiliated last Friday when she remained silent after Xu told her to collect a total of 43 homework books.

"I just couldn't figure out whether she wanted me to do it right now or after the class. That's why I didn't move," Xiao Wen said. "But she told me to bend over the desk immediately and strip off all of my bottoms, including my underwear, to my knees."

Xu ignored the crying girl's begging and even made her show herself to the whole class, the girl said.

Another student surnamed Li backed Xiao Wen up, saying he was also punished by Xu several days earlier.

Xu didn't dismiss the allegations at first. "Xiao Wen was stripped off for being disobedient, which was the same punishment for some of her classmates," said a short message Xu sent to Xiao Wen's father, surnamed Huang.

But the math teacher reversed herself when she later talked to a reporter.
