What Happens to Teachers Who Insult Students?
According to Article 16 of Decree 112/2020/ND-CP on the application of disciplinary measures of reprimand against public employees
The disciplinary measure of reprimand is applied for first-time violations that cause less serious consequences, excluding violations specified in Clause 3, Article 17 of this Decree, in one of the following cases:

- Abusing one's position for personal gain; displaying an authoritarian attitude, or causing difficulties and inconvenience to the public during the execution of assigned tasks and duties; certifying or issuing legal documents to individuals who do not meet the qualifications; insulting the honor, dignity, and reputation of others during professional activities.
Thus, a teacher at a public school (public employee) who insults the honor and dignity of a student can be reprimanded. Additionally, the school will consider issuing the most appropriate disciplinary measures for your case, so you should inform the school of this incident.
