Shanghai-   Teachers all over China are abused and blamed for teaching fourolds! Teachers claim Chairman Mao is the one responsible for this event because he has “brainwashed” young people into thinking that any news from other countries, as teachers teach, is considered fourolds. Students are dropping out of school and focusing all their attention on being Red Guards. Teachers are only left with about a handful of students to teach and are complained about in many da-zi-bao.

   This event has started January 26, 1966. Teachers are accused of teaching fourolds and are abused in many ways. Principle Kai of Dung Li Middle School has witnessed one of his teachers being abused by student Pin Chiang. Let`s hear what he has seen today,” It was horrid Chiang was abusing his teacher by pushing all her stuff off her desk and making her pick it up!” She and all other teachers at not just Dung Li but all over China are being forced to teach only about “wonderful” Chairman Mao.

Another witness that has seen these cruel attacks on teachers is teacher herself Lei Chon. She claims that a student has written a da-zi-bao about her that says she has been teaching villainous things that go against Chairman Mao and his new laws. Let`s hear what else she has to say,” I am feeling very irritated and confused because I don’t recall teaching anything villainous.

Janitor Ding Ling of Dung Li thinks that this is a great way to teach the teachers a lesson because he has been treated poorly by kids for years and now they finally know what it`s like. Another positive thing for Ding Ling is that he doesn’t need to clean after as many kids as before.

There you have it folks these are real people in Shanghai that have experienced these things. That’s all for International Education 411!
