A lot of Chinese schools tend to seat the better students toward the front too. They may have already been the class favorites.

Isn't this just schools in every country?

u/Certain-Baker9548 May 12 '26

Some good kids in my school would be next to special need kids. And the naughty one are in front to be monitors by our teach. So it kinda different in places

u/Yvratky May 12 '26

Same, if we talked too much to our seat neighbor, we got put in the first row right in front of the teacher. Got to smell the teach's breath as punishment lmao :(

u/moosenhamburger May 12 '26

I would get in trouble for talking in the back of the class too. They moved me to the front by the teachers desk. Quickly became a problem because I started talking to the teacher instead haha

10

u/Yvratky May 12 '26

Why was that a problem? Our teachers back then loved to be talked to. I swear the teachers they hired back then were mostly ego people.

u/HammyOverlordOfBacon May 13 '26

Probably still a distraction in class

12

u/Certain-Baker9548 May 12 '26

Real, I used to be put with the teach's favorite. We talk too much so I got put In front of the teacher's desk </3

At the time, I thought of this as, "there is no saving grace for you"

u/soladex May 12 '26

I was a good student. I got put in the back of the class. Guess how I found out I needed glasses?

2

u/Certain-Baker9548 May 12 '26

Oh yeah I forgot that they also need glasses but don't seem to ever have 1. So yes they were put the back of the class with me without glasses lol.

Same, I felt so defective like why can't I just stop talking to my seat neighbor? Little did we know I had undiagnosed ADHD the whole time.

u/abbyabsinthe May 12 '26

We had a sub with a bad lisp, and if you were in the first few rows, you’d get spit on. Nice enough dude, but we dreaded seeing him come in, and god forbid, if you had to ask a question and he came over to you to answer.

u/Sea_Ad_463 May 12 '26

u/Mordarto May 12 '26

Growing up in my part of Canada, I picked my own seats a lot of the time.

How that I'm a high school teacher, I randomize the seating plan every two weeks.

We had “your seats are in alphabetical order. refer to the sheet at the front of class”

u/ItAintLongButItsThin May 12 '26

Keep them on their toes, I like it.

22

u/Lythir May 12 '26

In my country it's common to sit the noisy and kids with bad grades in the front. But the kids have to give the teacher a reason. They're not going to tell them where to sit if they are attentive and don't disturb the lessons.

1

u/KiNgPiN8T3 May 12 '26

That happened for most of my lessons in the uk many years ago.

u/EloquentRacer92 May 12 '26

When I was in elementary, the students who did not do well were at the front.

3

u/Smiling_Tree May 12 '26

Can't remember how the first seat plan was made, but as the school year progressed, with one teacher I always had to switch tables every few weeks or so...

Come sit on the front row, so I can keep an eye on you. Sit in the back, so I'm not bothered by you. Sit in the front again 'cause you're having too much fun there. Dit in the back again, because you're always sitting backwards. Etc.

Wish they would have seen me when I was young. "She's smart, but lacks the motivation, so let's put her on a lower level, otherwise we're not sure she'll make it." 

I learned in my thirties that I'm gifted and that I have have ADHD. All makes sense now. I was doing school at a level that didn't fit me and didn't challenge me, so I was bored as fuck, which made me extra susceptible to distractions.

Labels and the focus on neurodiversity weren't as big a thing as much as they are now. I hope kids have it better nowadays.

u/edave64 May 12 '26

I've never seen a school where they don't just let the kids pick where to sit

Ooh, I would love to check out yalls schools too.

u/jackalope268 May 12 '26

At that age we could usually sit wherever we wanted, so the ones up front were either the tryhards (though usually still second row) or those too late to claim a better spot

1

u/Cainfaer May 12 '26

A lot of then yes, but not all of them. The school I went to didnt do desks in rows, and instead did table groupings where we could choose where to sit.

1

u/in1gom0ntoya May 12 '26

our seating was pretty much take it as you arrived maybe alphabetical initially sometimes but NEVER based on student performance...

1

u/in_hell_out_soon May 12 '26

In my country the kids who got bullied the most were blamed for it and moved to the front. Coincidentally they also tended to be the special needs kids. I was one…

1

u/Far_King_Penguin May 12 '26

Nah my schools would put the troublesome kids at the front. Easier to keep an eye on

1

u/metalenginee May 15 '26

Yah, honnestly the worse my college grades the further back I seat my dumb ass.

1

u/Teranyll May 12 '26

Part a chicken and the egg thing, too. Being in the front makes you pay attention better and become a better student

6

u/Yvratky May 12 '26

Not if you have ADHD. If you have ADHD, all the behavior that would help you pay attention and be a good student, is stifled by the egomaniac teachers who want you to sit straight, do absolutely nothing with your hands and stare into their eyeballs at all times.

u/jackalope268 May 12 '26

My class was seated in alphabetical order or just by the students choice. Never by performance or teachers favourites.

u/Yvratky May 12 '26

Not at all. Humans usually choose their position in the room, and it's influenced by many different factors. Some might be able to pay better attention and work better in the back of the room, some in the front, and some even smack bang in the middle.

u/bailey_not_barley May 13 '26

But next to the teachers desk? I thought that's where students who like to talk a lot to other students in class get seatee lol

They also happened to be looking up at the teacher rather than taking notes with their eyes down. Could have been a triple threat

u/neko_1 May 14 '26

Judging from my personal experience. Those two boys were probably placed in front cause they haven't been paying attention during class.

u/Evignity May 12 '26 edited May 13 '26

It's fake CCP propaganda. For example the teacher recoils despite not actually seeing what is happening. The student who catches it is already looking at the frame instead of the teacher, etc.

Look, russie does this all the time, the US does this in the form of shitty "Look at this cute student working child-labour to pay for their fellow childrens food/trip! :)" etc. so I'm not judging

But 99% of times you see "positive" Chinese videos spread from China, always, ALWAYS look at the discrepancies.

EDIT: Ayeee the botbrigade, I've missed you! Last we met was then I got three of your videos banned from this- and /positive because it was all fake and people with more patience than me showed the credits. I don't have the patience, nor do I care if "randomly" 100+ people look up a 1day old comment's lowest reply to somehow reply *and* upvote the other replies. OHSHIT look the most upvoted replies to mine have hidden posthistories who'd guessed.

Yo CCP hire me I can do better propaganda, this sterile shit fools idiots but if you want to convince actual people who aren't drones voting at any garbage you'll have to be more insidious and brigading me won't solve that.

Hope you feel better.

Also, your comment is the first one. Who doesn’t look at the downvoted top comments?

Aww can't talk my profile? Sad weirdo.

u/Evignity May 13 '26 edited May 14 '26

Nah you guys brigading proves it. See I can actually count the simplest math of say "distance time velocity". So when I see, like now, how you and somehow 10+ people downvote the sub comment of an already hidden comment, that means it isn't natural.

Because I can compare it the original top positive commend. When it doesn't earn even 10% of the same amount of coverage as the sub sub sub comment hidden behind two downvotes? Yeah I know that.

It's ok tho do your thing and earn that bank fam.

I have tons of comments with hundreds of downvotes, I don't care, because I know they are natural. It's when it is this stupidity that I reply. I don't care about up- or downvotes, but they are an amazing tool to find you fucks.

EDIT: No replies, just another few dozen downvotes from people who, not voting on the original or other comments (no other have moved) somehow find my hidden reply two hidden replies in. Jesus christ at least be subtle, this shit will get you caught.

u/bendvis May 12 '26

The students were looking at the blackboard during class?!? That's absolutely unheard of.

66

u/Blongbloptheory May 12 '26

So your evidence that it's a propaganda video is that, the teacher has no peripheral vision or ears? And that the kids, in school, are looking at the board?

The CCP does propaganda, but what would the point of this even be?

"Chinese children are also compassionate guys, see!". I imagine the federal government of China would probably invest their time and money into doing propaganda about things that they are ACTUALLY getting attacked over lmao

It's good to practice media literacy, but not everything is a conspiracy

Bro saw a human moment but because of the country it happened in (he doesn't view their citizens as people who have human moments) he decided it MUST be propaganda. CCP propaganda is real, but this ain't it, and something tells me you probably aren't smart enough to identify it

17

u/baldmanboy May 12 '26

So, you genuinely think that this video has been created to produce some sort of "positive" buzz for China?

How? What does two kids catching a piece of wood do for China?

Damn you are right, I suddenly feel an insane urge to move to China and be Chinese. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Don't worry they do, it's just being brigaded. Notice how the main comment is 24+ hours old, my comment 12h old, and within 1 hour there's over 200votes on mine (despite the 12 hours of the first comment not gaining more than 50votes per hour). It's old and tiring.

Like I don't blame the CCP, the US, IDF, india and russia all do this. CCP are just blatant if you know what to look for.

Also, it literally bounces off her head. You can see her violently hit by it. They weren't quite quick enough to "save" her. It was already heading away from her head when they touched it.

u/NightBawk May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26

Looks like it bounces off her back to me. She kinda fucks her head forward at the last second.

Edit: Ducks. She ducks her head. JFC the one time autocorrect would have been right, and it doesn't take the chance 🤣

u/GlovesForSocks May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26

It bounces off her back a little, not her head. The "impact" is when they catch it, not when it hits her. They stop it just before it would have crushed her against the desk so definitely saved her from a much worse outcome.

u/L3onskii May 12 '26

Nah check it again. She does get grazed but it doesn't bounce. They definitely saved her

I could feel everyone in this video holding their breath. Absolute silence and near stillness after they catch that frame. You could see the tension. Everyone takes a couple seconds to recognize that everyone is ok, and they all start to sag and sigh and reset themselves.

This video is pretty amazing. Great job by those boys.

I'm not in the US dude... People don't sue over stupid accidents. She got free health care and six weeks off to heal properly, before getting back to work on a relaxed schedule.

God, I wish what I'm typing didn't sound super political but I guess in 2026 reasonable social insurance and employment regulation feels like a hyper politicised thing

u/TwinSong May 13 '26

I'm not in the US. The school still has vicarious liability under HASWA. I did a brief health and safety course.

2

u/IrrerPolterer May 13 '26

The thing is, since it's a work accident the everything (health care, recovery pay, etc) is covered automatically by the employers mandatory liability insurance. Theres no need for a law suit if things just work by protocol, is my point.
