JAZAN — A teacher who posted a video on YouTube of one of his students begging for mercy while being disciplined is now facing an investigation over his conduct. The boy was seen crying in the video because he had apparently not prepared for the lesson. He asked the teacher to give him another chance and promised the teacher he would come back the next day better prepared. The other students in the class were watching in shock. The video went viral on all social media websites and attracted criticism, leading Jazan Education Directorate Director Muhammad Al-Harthy to order an investigation.
