Promotion to Vice-Principal for Beating & Abusing Pupils

spanking-censored-by-beako.jpg

A middle school teacher who beat four of his students found himself promoted to vice-principal only the month after he was forced to apologise.

At his new school, he then so traumatised a girl with his harsh words to her that she refused to attend school and began harming herself.

He was found in early 2007 to have slapped at least four schoolboys in the face, prompting parents to make formal complaints. The teacher was subsequently given an oral reprimand by the local city board, and apologised in person at the homes of the students he assaulted.

Deeming that he had secured the understanding of the parents, the city board did not bother to report his actions to the prefectural board, which proceeded to promote him to vice-principal of another school shortly after.

The prefectural school board excused itself: “We’re still checking the facts, but it seems likely we would have refrained from promoting him had we known at the time [what he had just done].”

Having finally found out about all this, the prefectural assembly is criticising those concerned: “They do not appreciate the gravity of this (illegal) corporal punishment.”

The teacher caused another incident when he moved to his new school. There, at the end of 2007 he told a third year middle school student “You’re just a nuisance”; the next month the girl dropped out of school and played truant until the present, for over a year.

She was also said to have begun engaging in self mutilation after the incident.

    "The prefectural school board excused itself: “We’re still checking the facts, but it seems likely we would have refrained from promoting him had we known at the time [what he had just done].”"

    Checking the facts? If he had raep'd any of them (or something close to it), he'd be in the can, no promotion w/ a 50%+ chance of gettin' it in the showers up river. Send this abusive douchebag-of-a-teacher packing!!!

    I think that would be "zetsuboushita" (絶望した), my (yet) limited knowledge of Japanese grammar says "-shite" would be something akin to imperative.

    Must say! I enjoy this kind of news.

    It is to my belief that a teacher should only apply physical punishments under extreme circumstances with out knowing what exactly happened I dare not make any assumptions. However many times a teacher will go over the line and apply punishments that are completely not suited! A student can’t learn by excessive use of force or trough humiliation! That will only generates unstable behaviours and psychological damage which will lead to future problems. The fact that students today abuse the good will of some teacher is do people who fail to teach properly and instead scarred them for life the student will see this “good teachers” as nothing more than prey to relief there psychological pressure by constantly interfering with there work.

    But enough of that…as for the girl. What ever lead her to do such actions mitt or not be involved with that teacher. I’ve taken in to consideration the fact the phrase “You’re just a nuisance” couldn’t be properly translated to English anyways from what I said so far you can probably imagine what my deduction lead to still I dare not say. For I know not all the facts.

    Sorry about my English been a while since I wrote something

    Now, this is stupid. Frankly, any person who raises a hand to a child (unless that child is trying to kill them) is unworthy of even LIVING on this planet, let alone being promoted in his job!
    These are the kind of people who are the worst of the worse (many times worse than even pedosexuals) because their actions linger with the children forever.

    Gotta disagree there. When i was a youngun, a good swift smack to the ass put me right back in my place. Thats how i learned right from wrong. I wasn't abused by any means, but i learned (real quick) what sort of behavior was acceptable. I can say (with pride) that I knew how to behave in a public place as a young child. None of that screaming temper tantrum shit that you can find in any supermarket, restaurant today.

    I dont know if i really agree with kicking a junior,high school students ass. But then again, maybe they needed a good ass kicking.

    Waaaah some body called me a nuisance, im such a drama queen im gonna cut my self. Maybe she wanted some more attention.

    Not really - it's hard to translate but what he said was a lot more brutal than it sounds here - more like "Why the hell do you even bother coming here!?"

    The fact that translation sometimes fails even by the hand of the more almighty ones doesn't excuse the fact that the girl is a psycho anyway. I've seen, and listened, to preachers like that in school from time to time, but noone ever reacted like that. Also, if she was that much of a fail student, i'd rather stick with the teacher. And, to be as much honest as i can, i'd also like to discipline myself some bad students i saw. Then again, i'm still young, i'm not a teacher, i do not know all the facts behind the fact we're talking about, and i read way too much GTO and other mangas to be able to express a non-violent speach.

    Heaven forefend that a fifteen year old doesn't have the emotional maturity of a thirty year old, especially when a very important role model in a young adult's life (their teacher) lets loose with something like that.

    Sure, some who were already predisposed to verbal abuse could probably take it without batting an eye, but some people are more emotionally vulnerable than others.

    To me, the first paragraph just doesn't read smoothly. And I think both instances where you used the semicolon are kind of awkward. But I'm not an English teacher, so you could be using them correctly. It's just the use of that punctuation seems forced.

    As for the article itself, these kinds of educators are the worse. It doesn't even sound like he was disciplining them, not that such a scenario would justify physical and/or verbal abuse of students.

    Comment by Artefact

    Thanks for picking up the typo. The sentence is correct, but the fact that people may not be reading it smoothly suggests it is not optimal, and could use a rewrite.

    See what I wrote below regarding what he said - it was much more extreme than it sounds when rendered into English, in fact it's the kind of thing teachers explicitly tell children not to say to each other...

    So was it missing the word "to" or was the sentence right in the first place and I am wrong? English is not my mother language so I am asking out of curiosity and educational reasons.

    Yeah sorry I saw the clarification after my post. My opinion is still though that even with the worst kind of lexical abuse a person shouldn't be THAT frustrated to the point of self injury. Of course the teacher has no excuse but the girl needs psychological attention/help.

    On another note, was the site down for a long period of time (some hours)?

    Comment by Xavi
    11:47 07/03/2009 # ! Neutral (0)

    I found this particular post easy to read and understand. The only mistake I can spot is the lack of the word "to" before the phrase "have beaten", in the first paragraph, first sentence.

    You might be confused by Artefact's writing because he uses complex and "long period" sentences (I don't know the exact terminology for it). I like that sort of writing as it is usually more laconic and descriptive.

    About the topic:
    >>There, at the end of 2007 he told a third year middle school student “You’re just a nuisance”; the next month the girl dropped out of school and played truant until the present, for over a year.
    She was also said to have begun engaging in self mutilation after the incident.

    What? The student is surely a psychopath, you can't just self mutilate yourself because someone called you a "nuisance". The teacher shouldn't be blamed about it.

    About the slaps I am not sure,I can't really tell who is justified if I don't hear what the students did to deserve the slap.

    We have come to the exact opposite from what the educational system was decades ago. From teachers beating with the slightest reason a student now I see more and more violent behavior from students without being punished (violently or not). I am not so sure that this sort of trend will be good in the end. We must find balance between physical and psychological violence (or lack of them). This situation is getting out of hand.

    It's just like this, Asian teachers never got over the fact that they're not allowed to beat their students for punishment or to get them under control anymore. At least in China and Japan, which to my knowledge are the only East Asian countries to have abolished corporal punishment. I read it has something to do with Confucianism, which says that teachers have the duty to guide their pupils by strictly disciplining them (which of course means beating the hell out of them), and that teachers are always infallible and are to be respected not only by their pupils but by all of society. The law might have changed, but the mentality hasn't. Heck, many Asian parents still support EVERYTHING teachers do to their children, including severe beatings and verbal humiliation.

    Sadly, this is the perfect disguise for all the perverts out there. The OP image depicts something that most likely happens right know. It happens several times a day even in America. I mean exactly like it's pictured there. I would fap to it if it wasn't so depressing.

    I am sorry but I'm not. Have you seen videos of typical Korean schoolgirl "punishments"? Treatment of boys is even worse. And regarding the OP picture, it's not difficult to find news coverage of incidents exactly like that on the net. On the top of my head I recall one story of a huge FBI investigation aiming to bust a ring of child spanking pornographers, that ring consisted mainly of teachers and headmasters (and guess who their victims were). And that is really not an isolated case, judging from the amount of incidents that become public every year.

    Oh well, at least this shows that Japan isn't that much more perverted than the rest of the world.

    Corporal punishment has been illegal in my country for some decades now, so I never experienced or witnessed any. Discipline never was a real problem during my school years though. Needless to say I don't have any first hand experience, but I went to great lengths researching the matter and getting a balanced view on it after it occurred to me that what you see in BDSM porn and what is usually practiced by consenting adults is actually done to real minors all over the world (yep, I never really made the connection until a few months ago), and is legally although unintentionally(?) backed even by some of the most liberal governments.

    My intention was not to debate the pros and cons of corporal punishment (although I'm obviously against it), and I'm well aware that in some countries, like the UK, teachers have to fear for their lives every day.
    I just wanted to point out what the reasons for those stories of Asian hentai teachers getting promotions are (namely Confucian beliefs, similar mechanics apply to western teachers from Christian schools btw), as well as the fact that even school systems with the most well-crafted and strict guidelines for corporal punishment were, are and will be exploited by sick fucks, and that there are still a few school systems out there that are clearly abusive, like South Korea or Kenya (seriously WTF?? NEVER research corporal punishment in Kenya if you don't want to be seriously disturbed).

    If you ask me, the situation you describe is much more preferable than the other way round.

    I don't know where you are coming from but in my country the roles are reversed. More and more students abuse teachers at the point of obstructing their work. Of course parents being the generation that got "spanked" unjustifiably by their teachers now don't say anything about it and most of the times they will side with their kids, even if their pricks are to blame.

    I used to work as a JET teacher in Japanese junior high schools a few years ago and more than one occasion I saw a Japanese teacher haul off and smack the hell out of a student they were reprimanding. It always seemed to be the same few teachers that would smack a student on the head like that. The other teachers looked the other way when the event happened and would not talk about it. I asked about the behavior and always got a brick wall of course (as a foreigner and a visiting teacher, bringing it to other people's attention was about all I could do, to my disgust).

    You might think there's a obvious line between a smack on the head and an outright beating, and I would agree. But I think for someone who has gotten away with violent behavior towards their students in the past, they could certainly get worse over time with the rest of the school admin looking the other way.

    Like a frog slowly boiling in water, you only hear about these incidents when they finally leak outside the school enclave and into the local community where they are rightly seen for what they are - over the top extreme.

    As for the promotion, this is probably how they "dealt with the problem" internally by moving him to another place in hope of it blowing over. Depending on the junior high school, Vice-principals have less direct contact with students and often deal with paperwork and meet guests in the teachers office most days. (Again, I don't agree with this, but I worked as a JET long enough to see this happen a few times.)

    TLDR version: I can see how this could happen as I saw violent behavior by teachers at Japanese JHS firsthand.

    lucky for me, I haven't seen any violence in the JHSes I'm at. the worst I've seen is just scolding but nothing physical. but some kids just needs to get their ass kicked, but I'd rather it come from the parents than the teachers.
