She confirmed the that they had treated the student in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable in the case of any violation, adding that they, as administrative and teaching authority, never used non-educational methods to advise students.

It also asked students and their guardians to respect the workers because they are only working to make their children’s lives better. It said parents must hear all sides before taking a hostile attitude based on the point of view of the student alone.
