Married Teacher Accidentally Broadcasts Her Affair With High School Student To The Entire Class
A recently suspended high school teacher is now under investigation. Her inappropriate relationship with a male student was unintentionally revealed to her entire class.
The teacher, who has only been identified by her surname, Zhang, works at a vocational school in Qinyuan county, Shanxi province, China. The student, who has not been named, is reported to be between the ages of 15 and 18.
During one of Zhang’s classes, she accidentally projected WeChat messages between her and the student on a screen. The mishap was reportedly caused by Zhang connecting a computer to the class projector without logging out of her WeChat account.
The messages between the student and Zhang, who is married, mention both her husband and her daughter. In the chat, Zhang vented to the student.
Student: Honey, why are you crying?
Zhang: I helped my child wash her feet and asked her to wash mine too, but she refused. I then asked her father to wash my feet, and he also said no and walked away. I was irritated. I told him, “The child treats me the way you treat me.” I am so sad! What kind of man have I married?
In reply, the student comforted Zhang and expressed his feelings for her, telling Zhang, “I will always love you.”
Don’t ask him to do anything for you. Even though you are married, I don’t want to hear that you let him do anything for you. Because I will be jealous.
Most of the time, I don’t express this feeling since I don’t have the bargaining power.
I will wash your feet next time when we live together. I will always love you.
— Student’s replies to Zhang
In a statement released on November 22, the school stated that it has launched an investigation and is taking the incident seriously. The school also stated that Zhang has been suspended from her teaching position. It is unclear if she will be reinstated or terminated when the investigation concludes.
Unfortunately, this is far from the first time a teacher has pursued an inappropriate “relationship” with a minor.
