You won’t want this university professor as your lecturer because…

If you think back to your school days, you’ll realize the most effective form of punishment is not caning, nor is it detention. Instead, the most effective form of punishment for us school kids back then usually occupy some form of copying, be it writing lines or copying a chapter from the school textbook; word for word, line for line and diagrams for diagrams.

So it really did not come as a big surprise when some unnecessarily cruel (read: strict) teachers decide to build on this effective punishment, and come up with some creative (read: sadistic) punishments to deter the students from committing the same mistake again. That’s right, we’re talking about writing lines.

An insanely creative university professor, and we put focus on the insane, decide to innovate the “writing lines” punishment by giving it a modern twist.

Instead of making his students who were late for his class write lines, he decide to make them draw out what they do on a daily basis: emoticons. And it’s not in ones, tens or hundreds. He made them draw the emoticons a thousand times.

Images of this professor’s unusual punishment went viral on the Chinese internet.

Some netizens have commented that this is pointless and sadistic, while others just laughed at what the students are made to do.

We don’t know about you, but after one session of this, it’s highly possible that we will never use emoticons in our daily WhatsApp messages anymore. What do you think?
