From a legal perspective, Dr. Lawyer Nguyen Trong Hai - Head of Trong Hai and Associates Law Firm has analysis and assessment of this case.

According to Lawyer Hai, in terms of social ethics, in this case both the teacher and the brother did not behave in accordance with the ethical standards of society. As a teacher, when a student violates the law, the teacher must be fully aware of the situation in order to correct and educate the student, and at the same time, must set an example for the student to follow.

But because he was so upset about the student's act of burning paper, the teacher slapped the student, which was not in accordance with the qualifications and ethics of a teacher, and violated the code of conduct of the teaching profession. The student's brother and another friend went to see the teacher and had actions such as beating the teacher, which is unacceptable and must be condemned.

Punishing students, teacher in Nghe An got his nose broken

(Baonghean.vn) - The teacher slapped Phong as a warning for burning paper during class and asked to invite his parents to the meeting. Phong's brother went to see the teacher and suddenly punched him in the face and nose, causing him to collapse on the spot.

According to Lawyer Hai, legally speaking, if the student's brother's friend, who beat the teacher and caused him injury, has enough signs to constitute a crime, he may be prosecuted for "Intentionally causing injury" under Article 134 of the 2015 Penal Code.

"The consequences of this behavior affect the health of others. Therefore, if there are enough signs of constituting a crime for this behavior, the brother can be prosecuted according to the law, and must also compensate for the damage caused to the teacher's health," said Lawyer Hai.

Considering that the above incidents happen a lot nowadays, it is necessary for teachers to improve and enhance their skills in handling pedagogical situations, and at the same time seriously implement the code of conduct for teachers.

In addition, parents of students also need to consider carefully when discussing with teachers about their children's behavior to avoid situations like this from happening.

Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, at around 9am on March 13, in class 9D of Tan Thanh Secondary School (Yen Thanh), a student burned paper in the classroom. The Literature teacher of the class informed the homeroom teacher of class 9D, Mr. Dang Minh Thuy.

After Mr. Thuy asked who burned the paper, Nguyen Van Phong stood up and admitted that he was the one who burned it. At that time, because he was so angry, Mr. Thuy slapped Phong as a warning. Mr. Thuy asked Phong to write a report and self-criticism, and also wrote a letter inviting Phong's parents to come to school the next day to meet him to discuss the matter.

At around 10am on March 14, during class, Nguyen Van Doan (Phong's brother) and Hoang Van De (Doan's friend) came to the school to meet Mr. Thuy. Mr. Thuy invited the two men into Doan's room to work. A short while later, an argument and scuffle broke out between Mr. Thuy and the two young men. One of the two men punched Mr. Thuy in the face, the other used a teacher's chair to hit Mr. Thuy. Hearing the loud noise, the teachers ran in to stop them, then the two young men stopped and got on their motorbike and left the school.

Mr. Thuy was taken to Phu Dien General Hospital by his relatives and colleagues for emergency treatment in a state of continuous nosebleeds. X-ray results showed that Mr. Thuy was beaten, resulting in a fracture of the main bone of his nose, and heavy bleeding in the right cavity.
