A viral video coming out of China this week shows a student and teacher slapping each other hard in the face.

Apparently, the teacher thought the female student had a crappy attitude and told her if she did not show some manners, she would hit her, reports dailymotion.com.

The video shows, the girl goaded the teacher to do so and the teacher slapped the student. The student immediately slapped the teacher and the two began fighting. Other students ran run in and tried to break it up.

Commenters on Chinese social media are largely coming out on the side of the teacher, saying the student should have shown more respect.
