A SCHOOL has been forced to issue an apology after it punished truant students by making them stand on their hands until they BLED.

The incident first came to light when pictures showing bleeding palms first caught the attention of parents of students at Xixiang Middle School.
The pupils reportedly told their parents that they were punished by their physical education (PE) teacher after they tried to skip class.
The harsh teacher from the school in Shenzhen’s Bao’an district - in South China’s Guangdong Province - is said to have wanted to instil some discipline in the teenagers, and made them walk on their hands as punishment.

Despite the parents’ understandable outrage, it was the pupils who came to the defence of their PE teacher - reportedly an intern - as they admitted to purposely bunking class.
The young students apparently even asked their parents not to blame the school for the punishment they received.

However, after the local Education Bureau caught word of the unorthodox and somewhat medieval treatment, the school officials and the teacher were ordered to apologise to the parents - which they did in person.
The school has also promised to cover all medical expenses for the punished kids.
