In response, the education authorities launched an investigation.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"3\">According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) in Hong Kong on the 30th, three photos of a school teacher in Hong Kong acting inappropriately, such as holding a girl like a bride against a classroom blackboard, have spread around the online community.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"4\">Another photo released showed the student cradling the teacher&#8217;s waist and saying, &#8220;Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the play. There were phrases such as &#8220;It will be an unforgettable experience&#8221; and &#8220;The best homeroom teacher.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p refid=\"5\">As the controversy grew, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Education Bureau emphasized, &#8220;The teacher&#8217;s professional conduct guidelines clearly define the standards of behavior required of teachers to promote student welfare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">Education authorities immediately urged the school to follow up immediately after recognizing the existence of the photo.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">&#8220;Considering the nature and seriousness of the matter, we have dealt with the teacher&#8217;s behavior seriously and have taken appropriate measures,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mk.co.kr\/en\/world\/12061860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 A photo of a male teacher hugging a girl in a classroom in Hong Kong has sparked controversy online.
