Causes and Countermeasures of Illegitimate Complaints from Parents in China's Education System Case Study of "A Teacher's Corporal Punishment towards Her Student Resulting in Vomiting Blood" in Weibo

Abstract

In the most popular Chinese social media Sina Microblog, which is called Weibo , a netizen complained an incident that "a teacher's corporal punishment towards her student which caused vomiting blood". The incident was widely followed and spread on Weibo but then proved to be fake. Though illegitimate content was issued, from the original intention of the one involved in the claim for rights protection, the reason for this illegitimate complaining behavior is more profound. On the one hand, there exists a lack of social credibility in China's education system and the phenomenon of stigmatized teachers, which leads to an urgent voice for the supervision of educational practitioners among the masses; on the other hand, the expression of China's civil rights and its communication channels need to be further improved to promote deep development of China's civil society. Therefore, the public power of education needs to be further standardized and the multi-level system of safeguarding education rights to be optimized, so as to promote the construction of civil society and to adapt to the latest trends of social development. Meanwhile, the Internet complaining system needs to be improved which means the increase of punishment for illegitimate accusations and defamation and promotion of the Internet legal ecosystem.
