The student, who insisted that "I was just repeating what another friend said," also filmed the teacher with their mobile phone and went to the restroom to bring back a ceramic toilet lid, confronting the teacher. Other students in the classroom witnessed this scene. The student is known to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The school held a Teachers' Rights and Human Rights Protection Committee on the 20th and decided to impose 10 hours of in-school community service and special education for the student, and 5 hours of special education for the student's guardian.

Additionally, supervisors from the city education office and the relevant education support office visited the school to investigate the circumstances of the incident.

The teacher directly involved in this incident reportedly protested, stating that some external members of the Teachers' Rights and Human Rights Protection Committee excessively considered only the student's position and infringed on the teacher's rights by holding the teacher responsible.

The city education office provided the teacher with psychological counseling, special leave, and sick leave for treatment and recovery.
