Teacher Beats Pupil For Saying “Sorry”

gomen-ne-by-noizi-ito.jpg

A teacher who savagely beat a student for not being sufficiently respectful when apologising to him has received a temporary pay cut.

The incident unfolded at a Yokohama middle school, where a 57-year-old teacher was overseeing his class as they cleaned their classroom (Japanese schools force children to clean their schools as it supposedly has educational value), and became dissatisfied with how a male student was using a rag.

He warned the boy, who impudently replied “sorry” without using the proper honorifics or polite form (“gomen ne”). Enraged, the teacher exploded, throwing the child to the ground and punching him three times in the face, and then proceeding to kick him repeatedly in the face and stomach.

After returning home the boy’s parents immediately took him to hospital, where he was diagnosised with moderate facial injuries.

The teacher explains that “I thought he was making fun of me, and I snapped. It was inexcusable.”

For assaulting the boy, his school has imposed the draconian punishment of a 10% pay cut for 3 months. He apparently will not face criminal charges.

As usual, crimes which would see normal people sent to prison only seem to result in an insincere apology from Japanese teachers – little wonder children in such environments find themselves driven to suicide without teachers ever bothering to come to their aid.

    That boy is probably wishing that his teacher was someone like K-ON!'s Sawa-chan or the Great Teacher Onizuka right now.

    You don't understand.

    The reason the character 'Eikichi Onizuka' was created is that he represents the absolute ideal teacher.

    In real life, teachers take bribes from publishers so that they'd recommend the text books to the school to massbuy, harrass and rape kids then blackmail them to shut them up, and beat weaker brats who happen to be their students because they don't dare pick a fight with someone who's stronger and will fight back.

    No, they don't give a flying fuck in hell about their students. As long as they stay quiet and get good grades regardless of the methods, all that's left is to wait for salary at the end of the month. Otherwise, the kids'll be at the receiving end of the stick when the teacher had a fight with his wife at home, or when the headmaster scolded him for his own misconducts, or when his favorite team lost last night's game.

    Even if Onizuka was not the kid's homeroom teacher, he's probably run over and GERMAN SUPLEX that so-called "educator"

    about ten years ago I worked as a substitute teacher... one of our teachers shoved a student up against a wall (I wont try to justify his actions by telling you what the boy did).

    he was sentenced to pay damages to the boy and his family, forced to see a shrink for a year and wont ever be allowed to work with children again.

    Fired and time in jail/prison, but this isn't the type of thing that needs a death penalty....

    The death penalty should be reserved for murderers only.

    This doesn't happen all the time in Japan (the lack of punishment), but it does happen often. I've said once, I'll say it again: the Japanese justice system is a fucking joke.

    This reminds me of a news I watched last year about a female teacher assaulting and cutting her student's hair for refusing to get a haircut. That happened in my country. Her explanation was that she was doing her job. Her punishment was suspension that would last for several months, I believe. She should've been fired instead IMO.

    okay I'm curious to they go to the police or to the school.

    The school of driving more interested in saving face than doing anything about that teacher, but I think police would do more shipped about justice than that school saving face.

    There needs to be some kind of middle ground.

    Some kids deserve to get the shit kicked out of them, but this kid didn't seem like it.

    I mean you can't handle all kids with touchy-feely shit. and you can go around beating the fuck out of kids who do nothing but "disrespect" you

    GTO? In my opinion what those students need is a little Yamaguchi Kumiko... Some hard knocks for both students AND teachers are necessary.

    Over here, if the teacher is a dick, the honor students shut up and listen, the middles dissent, the lowest don't give a damn and do whatever. If the teacher is worth respecting, we do. If I personally think the teacher is incompetent I don't even bother any more.

    i have a college professor that tells all her students to research and report about lessons in the syllabus (as in the students effectively teach). this is a lazy backhanded way to blame your students for failing when you didn't even have the balls to teach them properly. even worse is that she usually interrupts the reporters midsentence with such words of wisdom like "no, that's wrong! go back and do this, then that! don't you know anything?" and she just pushes the students around as if it's their fault that they can't understand, and not hers. who the hell is the teacher here? she's supposed to be paid a very good salary and here she is taking pot shots at students who've never heard of half the terms in the lesson before. AND she says she proofread their slides and lecture. sheesh.

    The politeness levels in the Japanese language are retarded anyway. All the kid did was use a form of the word "sorry" that the teacher didn't think was respectful enough. No reasonable person would think something like that is actually disrespectful.

    I bet from now on, whenever this teacher criticizes a student, said student will kowtow and repeatedly scream "gomen nasai!" at the top of his voice.

    Students are great at this sort of sarcasm. Especially when they have the excuse that they were afraid they would get the crap beat out of them.

    Lol I love these "If it were my kid" comments.

    They're usually the type that don't actually have kids because any sane logical parent would consider the consequences to themselves and their children before "teaching them a lesson".

    'somebody should slap the shit outta that dude'

    A 67-year-old teacher might have 20 years of service left - if he is pushed hard.

    A high school student might have 70 years of life ahead of him - if he can be made to conform to his society.

    It's not clear to me that slapping anyone will address the issue.

    The teacher might have trouble maintaining discipline. The student might undermine discipline in various subtle ways.

    If the whole system is broken, there might be no good way to resolve any of these disputes. I tend to think that the Japanese system is indeed broken.

    Maybe they need disciplinary robots - four robots for every student - who will see to it that protocol is carried out.

    you don't punch kids in the face. doesn't make a fuck how old the teacher was...

    I said slap the shit out of him, 'cause ya don't punch old people in the face either...

    sorry, to me, it seems like a diffrent course of action could've been taken by the teacher, but I could be wrong though...

    I agree to a point. I make it my policy to not hit women. However, I will bend the rules if said woman thinks that she can get away with hitting(not slapping) me because she's a woman. The same applies to old people: If you can deal damage, then be prepared to receive some back. I don't put up with bull shit.

    The Japanese bow to some small dislike of ero by the west but on this no matter how badly the education system is show to be they ignore it.

    Why can't the family go after the man themselves with legal action, there may no be many lawyers in Japan but how hard could it be to get this guy.

    Probably very hard. He'll deny as much as he can get away with and the school will do everything it can to cover for him (to save face, obviously).

    There's no way the boys parents could win a court case, unless they are rich and powerful. Of course, if they were rich and powerful, the teacher wouldn't have raised a hand to the boy.

    Japan, like countries such as Russia, is a democracy in name only.

    Slap no he needs to spend about ten minutes in a sound proof room with some big guys carrying blunt objects.
    All I can say if a teacher did that to a child of mine he'd better pray I win my law suit and his career gets ruined.
