On September 10, a net blogger posted a video showing children's sitting posture correction. The footage shows a girl wearing a red scarf studying at a desk, with the back of the chair, in front of her chin, and under her feet all covered with dangerous items resembling sharp spikes, prompting netizens' criticism and mocking it as torture.
On September 11, netizens exposed the extremely primitive accommodation and bathing environments at the junior high department of Hepu No. 4 Middle School in Beihai, Guangxi. Dozens of students are crowded into a single large dormitory, relying only on a few ceiling fans during the sultry summer. The washing and bathing facilities are old and damp. The so-called improvement in conditions consisted only of installing a door in the bathhouse, sparking public concern.
