Teacher orders classmates to slap boy in the eye 40 times

A 12-year-old Chinese boy has had to undergo eye surgery after his teacher allegedly told his classmates to slap him in the face.The boy, from Zhengzhou in China's Henan province, was reportedly struck around 40 times after he failed to do his homework.The teacher even apparently told the other pupils that the loudest slap would get a prize.The boy, who has not been named, said: 'After being slapped, the teacher then made me do push-ups and did not allow me to eat lunch.'He said later that night he realised he couldn’t see properly out of his left eye.The boy's mother added: 'I didn’t know the damage was so severe. 'The doctor had told me my child’s eye might not be cured.' According to reports, the teacher who ordered the slapping allegedly claimed that punishing the children helps them to progress in class.The boy's mother said the school had given the family 30,000 yuan (£3,000) in compensation, which they had already spent on the operation.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
