Teachers are human and they are subject to racial stereotypes in the media and emotional turmoil in daily living. When teacher blurted comments or attack totally unconnected with the students' wrong, it partly reflects their core belief which is more disturbing. Physical punishment is not allowed except under circumstances that the students may pose immediate danger to himself or others. The effort to cover up this incident reflects the culture of the teaching profession in the area. Teachers often want discipline and conformity of the students in class as it is easier for their jobs. However, if enforced too strictly, it would stifle the development of individual personality and talents. There is always that delicate balance between personal development and observance of rules in class that teachers endeavor to strike.
