Misdeed of a hotheaded student

A student threw hot water on a teacher at East China University of Political Science and Law in Shanghai recently when he criticized her for missing a class, reflecting the rampant lack of reason in society, says an article in Procuratorial Daily. Excerpts:

Does a teacher have the right to criticize a student for missing a class? Opinions differ. But the female student chose a violent way of answering the question, and left the teacher scalded despite receiving immediate treatment.

The student not only crossed the unwritten moral code but also broke the law by throwing hot water on her teacher. According to reports, she said she was infuriated because the teacher openly said that he doubted whether she would pass the postgraduate examination.
