Hanging from the beam and piercing the thigh! "Drip classes" appear in Hubei universities in China

The "joint college entrance examination" can be said to be a common nightmare for all high school students in Asia, and one of the most unforgettable memories of most people's lives. This is especially true in mainland China, where the population is large and the competition is fierce. According to official statistics, the number of students taking the college entrance examination each year is as high as 10 million, and the pressure on the candidates can be imagined. China's Sina.com quoted a report from Hubei's Yangtze Business Daily on the 6th, saying that in order to allow students to face the challenge more "with ease", the school authorities of a local high school actually prepared a bottle of "amino acids" for each student in the class, which was hung from the ceiling in the form of an IV drip for easy access at any time, resulting in the strange scene of the "IV bottle class" in the picture.

It is understood that a reporter from Hubei's Yangtze Business Daily accidentally discovered a photo of this "drip class" on a student's Weibo (blog) on ​​the 6th. They traced the student's high school and confirmed with the school that the "drip class" does exist. As soon as the news came out, netizens from all over mainland China were shocked. The school's top management explained to visiting reporters that the students were injected with "amino acids" that can replenish energy, and that the injection was voluntary. Considering that students have to run to the health room all the time and delay their study time, the school decided to directly hang the amino acid drip bottles with wires in the classroom, allowing students to use them in a "self-service" manner, thus creating the strange scene of "studying while receiving an IV drip."

A real-time online poll conducted by Sina.com on the 6th pointed out that as many as 90% of netizens opposed the school's ridiculous approach, believing that no matter how stressful or weak one's body is, there is really no need to use such extreme means to take the exam. Education scholars also made severe criticisms, believing that using intravenous drips to assist learning is not only disrespectful to the students themselves, but also a disguised blasphemy against the educational spirit that emphasizes "people-oriented"; and the one-sided pursuit of test scores and extreme utilitarianism are not good phenomena for the students themselves or for education as a whole.

However, many netizens can’t help but wonder, can injecting "amino acids" really replenish overdrawn physical strength? Some nutritionists disagree and say that amino acids are the smallest form of protein. Instead of injecting amino acid solvents, it is more practical to consume large amounts of protein from the daily diet, such as 1 to 2 eggs a day, or milk and meat products. In addition, the nutrients needed by the brain are definitely not just protein. Sugar is also an important component for maintaining brain function. In other words, maintaining a balanced diet, adequate sleep and a normal schedule are the key to taking exams calmly under high pressure.
