This footage shows a nursery school teacher pulling a girl by the ear and then shoving a boy to the ground before the boy’s dad is seen storming into the classroom and whacking the teacher in the face.

The shocking incident captured by witnesses from a high-rise building overlooking the school playground shows two teachers leading the class of boys and girls in a rehearsal for a school performance.

The clip shows a male teacher directing a young girl in a pink dress and leading her along in formation by pulling her left ear, while other pupils with at Zouqu Central Kindergarten follow closely behind.

The same teacher from the town of Zouqu, which is in Changzhou City in East China’s Jiangsu Province, is then seen pushing a little boy to the ground, causing the child to face-plant the concrete.

The boy had apparently forgotten where to stand and was punished by the impatient teacher.

After the clip was posted online, parents who feared their children were being abused reportedly fetched their kids from school as soon as they could.

In further footage, the dad of the boy shoved by the teacher is seen having stormed into the classroom and whacking the educator on the side of the face.

He lands such a hard blow that the teacher keels overs onto his side.

The parent then storms out with his wife and son as the clip ends.

Zouqu Central Kindergarten said in a statement that the teacher involved had been dismissed and would be punished.

Local education bureau officials are also understood to be investigating, but it is unclear whether the teacher will receive a lifetime ban from working at schools again.
