Students' punishment defeats training purpose
China Daily | Updated: 2015-09-21 08:00
More than 20 first-year female students of Hunan College of Foreign Studies were reportedly forced to wrap themselves in heavy quilts and lie on an asphalt track under the sun because they didn't keep their dormitories tidy as required during the mandatory military training. Comments:
It's time we reviewed the heavy physical training as well as the outdated punishment methods for college students, because such practices have failed to cultivate patriotism among students. Besides, they do not conform to the demands of military modernization.
