Three teachers who beat a student who dyed his hair for half an hour have been warned not to do it again.
The Miyazaki prefecture middle school in question had organised an outing to Kyoto for its students.
One second year student arrived at the assembly point, a railway station, with his hair dyed, a breach of the school’s dress code.
Once they arrived at their destination, three teachers took him to a room in the party’s hotel and ordered him to sit seiza style.
They proceeded to beat and kick him for half an hour as he sat in this fashion, including blows to the head, as punishment for daring to defy the dress code, and once they were finished they took him to a barber’s shop and had him shave his head, supposedly with his consent.
Outraged at their son being treated in this manner, the boy’s parents complained to the school, which apologised. The teachers were given an “oral reprimand.”
The parents also filed charges of assault against the teachers with police, but courts suspended the indictment as “the teachers were remorseful.”
Needless to say, had the student hit a teacher he would likely have been arrested, and had they beaten a female student for violating the dress code they would likely have been arrested as well, suggesting there are a number of double standards at work.
Anyone looking to reduce child abuse in Japan might do well to crack down on teachers rather than works of fiction – it seems Japanese teachers more often than not get away with beating and violating their students with scarcely a dent in their career, and recent events demonstrate even a headmaster suspected of possessing child pornography can expect to retain his position, such are the perks of civil servants and a strong union.
Bitch ass teachers getting away with it…
Honestly, they need to give beating rights back to teachers. Look at all the crap going on in US schools, you can’t smack some asshole constantly joking around & wasting the time of those who actually want to learn. Instinct wants us to tape them to a chair while whipping their genitals until they bleed & cry but society says just bend over & take it up the ass.
Needless to say, same thing goes on in our very home. Reckless kids, can’t discipline them the old-fashioned way or it’s child abuse. f♥♥k child being first, that’s why the world sucks now.
Well, you should NOT include the child pornography thing in this. That just shows that Japan has moved towards realizing that pedosexuality is a NORMAL sexuality and are going towards not harassing people for it anymore, which the rest of the world should do.
That said, I told MY children that if someone tried to beat them for doing something ‘wrong’, to fight back against that person like their life was in danger and TRY TO KILL THEM!
Seriously, NO ONE has the right to beat another person for ANY reason whatsoever.
An oral reprimand how weak these guys should have been fired on the spot and the father allowed to have five minutes of stick time with each of the teachers involved while they’re strapped to a chair.
Stick time means beating with a bat or nightstick.
The US may have it problems but here those teachers would face swift yet fair justice and would never be able to get a job in education again.
The family also would have sued the school for at least 100K and got it.
This kind of injustice makes me want to go to Japan just to kick someone’s ass.
Should it have been an anal reprimand then? :3
Well, the Japanese are stupid idiots (even worse than US people) who think that they have the right to force their personal likes and dislikes of things on other poeple, like it really ‘affects’ them in any fucking manner whatsoever.
“…have been warned not to do it again.”
After just reading the first part I almost fell out of my chair. Seriously, warned? WTF??? Oh wait, Japan…
And they were remorseful? Does that change what they did?
I can see the teachers in the teachers room talking about it:
Teacher #1: – It couldn’t be helped… –
Teacher #2: – People get hurt when beaten… –
Teacher #3: – Just according to keikaku… –
Headmaster: – Note: “keikaku” means “plan” –
