Teacher in China Fired After Wishing That All Her Students Get COVID-19

It’s not easy being a teacher, especially in a class of young students.

Even if you can get past the heavy workload, you have to deal with children on a daily basis, beings who aren’t exactly known for their considerateness and empathy.

So, it’s only natural that teachers lose their cool once in a while, as we’ve all seen before.  Sometimes, this is shouting at students when unnecessary or bursting out in tears in sheer frustration.

This woman, however, went a different route.

Teacher in China Fired After Wishing That All Her Students Get COVID-19

A simple social media post where she vented her frustrations ended up costing a teacher in China her job and getting her into trouble with the police.

It was later discovered that the woman had been using fake photographs as well on Weibo, where she made the distasteful post.

The woman, who was teaching a kindergarten class in Dalian, China, felt that she was being mistreated by her students’ parents. Angry and frustrated, she aired her grievances in a Weibo post, where she made some rather ill-advised comments.

“I hope the pandemic doesn’t stop, even better if [the number of cases] increase, at least till March next year, that’s my happiest wish,” she wrote.

Okay, that’s a weird thing to say. But at least she stopped there and didn’t say anything el-

“Even in my dreams I hope that the cases in Dalian increase, I hope that even the 30 children in school are also infected. Go Dalian!” she added.

Oh.

Understandably, parents were outraged that the woman wished their children would contract the coronavirus, given how dangerous a disease it is.

She didn’t get away with it of course; if you screw up on the internet badly enough, the world will soon know about it.

The woman was fired from the kindergarten and detained by the police for making comments about the COVID-19 outbreak which could have a “negative impact on society”.

Caught Using Fake Photos on Social Media

One ex-colleague also discovered that the woman had been using fake photos on social media, after she saw her own face all over the news.

She has urged netizens to stop circulating her photos online, saying she is not the one who made the distasteful post.

The photo was reportedly taken back in 2018, which the woman then used on her Weibo account in 2019. The ex-colleague has since reported the matter to the police.

Social media can be a good outlet to let your thoughts spill out whenever you’re upset, but it’s also an incredibly unforgiving place. It’s a good idea to take a day or two before venting your frustrations online.

Avoiding posts where you wish a deadly disease upon other people would also be advisable.
