You obviously don’t know Japan rules : kids have the RIGHT to attend classes, even if they don’t listen. So teachers don’t have the right to send them out.

The parents DON’T deal with it. That is the problem. On a massive scale.

We assume that prior to World War II corporal punishment was common in Japanese schools. We see how much good that did, do we not?

Yes, beating up students is the right way! See how Onizuka from GTO is the best teacher because he beats the shit out of his students.

Finally. A politician says something that I can get behind. (Yeah, I went there).

Stupid puns aside, what do you expect from politicians? They drum stuff up that appeal to the general public just to make it look like they’re doing something useful. Either that, or in this case, some school kid pissed him off and now he’s out for revenge.

Giving more power to Japansese teachers might perhaps have untoward consequences…

Unfortunately I have to agree with Ez. But I also think that giving too much power to the teachers may lead to certain punishments that were actually uncalled for and lead to even more troubles.

i dont see the purpose of a Teacher punishing someones child.

if they are disruptive and disrespectful. just send them out of the room, and their parents can deal with it.

disrespect should not lead to physical pain on another human being.

Kids today need to be disciplined, they lack respect. Short and simple
