China school slammed for invading privacy with pupil survey asking if parents’ work is ‘smelly’ or ‘noisy’

A primary school in China, Huatai Primary School in Tianmen, faced backlash for distributing a questionnaire titled Observation List of Parents’ Occupation to its pupils. The survey included questions about parents' work, asking if it was perceived as 'smelly' or 'noisy.' This occurred at the beginning of May, coinciding with the May Day holiday, which is celebrated in mainland China as Workers’ Day.
