(03 Jun) Recently, there is a controversy over a Hong Kong’s primary school grade 2 level worksheet from the Stewards Pooi Kei Primary School. Some Chinese netizens are angry about how the worksheet praises the beauty of American's rivers, yet portraits the rivers in China as polluted. They think that the worksheet is spreading hatred towards China and the teacher who created the worksheet has breached the code of conduct. The school later responded that it was a mistake and they would be more careful with their teaching materials in the future.
The worksheet merely states the fact that "rivers in China are polluted", and it is seen as "inducing hatred toward China". Does this mean teachers can only praise China even when it means telling lies (e.g Rivers in China are beautiful, Dongjiang water is tasty and clear), and is praising China the only way out for teaching materials...?
