On June 23, five children stood in front of a kindergarten in Sichuan with a banner in their hand that says “Congratulations to the principal’s daughter for getting 630 in gaokao. We should learn from her. ”

Later the principal admitted that it was an arrangement from the kindergarten but suggested by children’s parents, using as a way to advertise the kindergarten.

Many netizens showed their antipathy with the kindergarten’s arrangement. Most of them think it is completely unacceptable to have children hold banners like this for advertisement.

After the journalists contacted the principal of the kindergarten, the principal admitted that she had older children hold the banners. “Those five are all very good kids, and their parents are very supportive.” For the purpose of this “event,” the principal said because her daughter was alone in Mianyang but studied very hard and still had a good performance in gaokao, she hopes the children can learn from her in this aspect. She also said that those 5 children all held the banner for a little while after they were dismissed from class, mainly for advertisement purposes.
