On the afternoon of August 14, Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh, Principal of Vinh Loc High School ( Thanh Hoa ) said that after the incident in which teacher VXT (the school's English teacher) went to a 7th grade student's house and beat him until his eardrum was broken, the teacher had a detailed report explaining.

The school has set up a working group to clarify the incident and report to the Department of Education and Training. The Department also requested the school to closely monitor and supervise the child's health.

“We have now given Mr. T. leave from his professional work to spend time with his family taking care of his child’s health. The school will coordinate with Tay Do Commune Police to clarify the case,” Mr. Tinh said.

Mr. Tinh added that the school is waiting for the results of the police investigation, assessing the impact on the student's health and opinions from the family before deciding on how to handle Mr. T.

Previously, as VietNamNet reported, teacher T. is related to the student's family (he calls the student's parents "aunt and uncle") and has tutored the student since grade 3.

According to Mr. T.’s explanation, on August 8, during the summer, the student told his friend that “the teacher’s teaching was difficult to understand” (with some vulgar words). Hearing this, Mr. T. went to the student’s house, in front of the student’s mother, and slapped the student in the face “to teach him a lesson from a family perspective.”

After examination, the doctor determined that the boy's left ear had a perforated eardrum and was bleeding. He is currently being monitored and treated at Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital.

Authorities are investigating a clip recording a male teacher going to a student's house to beat him, causing public outrage.
