Recently, the Intermediate People's Court of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, made a final judgment on the "case of an 11-year-old boy jumping off a building with a suicide note in the province": the original verdict was upheld, and the head teacher involved was not guilty. (May 17, CCTV News)
In November 2021, the boy committed suicide by jumping off a building, leaving a suicide note saying that his death was related to the Chinese teacher and class teacher Zou; In order to seek justice and protect the legitimate rights and interests of their children, the boy's parents filed a complaint and sued Mr. Zou in the "suicide note", demanding that he bear legal responsibility.
Education is the foundation of the country, it carries the expectations of thousands of families, and is related to the future of the country and the nation. Today, when the country is governed by law, teachers shoulder the sacred mission of teaching and educating people, and they should set an example, teach according to law, and standardize their own educational behavior with the criterion of the law, so as to escort the healthy growth of children.
In this case, the parents who lost their beloved son chose to take up legal weapons and take the teacher involved to court, which is their right under the law and is beyond reproach. However, in reality, there is a sad phenomenon: whenever a child has an accident, there are always some parents who go to school to cry and ask the school and teachers to compensate for economic losses.
This behavior not only disrupts the normal order of the school, but also affects the learning of other children. What is even more worrying is that some schools and education departments often punish the teachers involved and give financial compensation in order to calm the situation. This practice not only promotes the unhealthy atmosphere of "making trouble and profiting", but also makes the majority of teachers feel cold, shackles their hands and feet, and makes them timid, afraid to take care of their mistakes, and do not want to take care of them.
The law is fair and the most powerful weapon to protect rights and interests. The verdict is based on facts and the law, which not only seeks justice for the boy's parents, but also makes them understand that as long as teachers teach in accordance with the law, they should not bear legal responsibility; It also affirms the right to education that teachers should have, so that they can put aside their worries and boldly fulfill their responsibilities of teaching and educating people.
This vivid lesson on the rule of law not only educates parents, but also makes them understand that the right and wrong of teachers in educating people cannot be solved only by personal wishes and crying, but should respect and believe in the law; At the same time, it also gave a profound legal education lesson to the majority of teachers, reminding them to respond calmly when facing problems and be good at using legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
The not-guilty verdict of the class teacher involved not only untied the knot in the hearts of the boy's parents, but also brought peace of mind and peace of mind to the majority of teachers. It provides a valuable blueprint for resolving home-school disputes, and allows people to see the power of the rule of law. This vivid lesson on the rule of law has made people believe that under the sunshine of the rule of law, education will be more fair and just. (Shang Fan)
