A teacher who hit one of his pupils 53 times in the face for eating sweets on a school trip, injuring his neck and requiring weeks of recovery, has had his pay reduced 10% for 6 months.
The 42-year-old unidentified Kagoshima city middle school teacher was overseeing a school trip when he spotted a 3rd year pupil eating sweets on the bus.
He took him to the staffroom and hit him 3 times in the face, and then had him accompany him to a more secluded spot, where he slapped him a further 50 times.
The boy suffered injuries to his cervical vertebrae as a result of the beating, and required several weeks to recover.
The teacher reported his attack to the principal, but told him he had only hit the boy 10 times and that he had only cut his mouth. The principal issued him a “written reprimand.”
After doctors told the boy’s parents he would need weeks to recover, they confronted the school with the report, forcing them to reinvestigate.
As a result of this the principal himself was issued a written reprimand by the local school board, and the teacher was given a temporary 10% pay cut lasting 6 months.
In light of recent similar incidents, the apparent legal invulnerability of Japan’s teaching profession is again coming under scrutiny online:
“Why wasn’t he arrested!?”
“50 times… somebody who does this must be ill.”
“This has got to be criminal assault.”
“50 times – your face really will swell up like in a manga from that.”
“So would your hand.”
“And for eating sweets? What a small man.”
“Teaching, where you get paid to beat and torment kids – what a great profession.”
“Probably some pervert who gets off on this stuff.”
“It’s disgusting that our taxes support these psychopaths. They are no different from the ones who protect the bullies rather than their victims.”
“I guess it depends on the kid’s attitude as well.”
“What is wrong with eating on a bus anyway?”
“Why don’t they fight back? If a teacher tried this on me I would have put a dent in his skull.”
“Probably some ordinary kid who cowers when beaten?”
“If a kid did this they would be brought up on charges pretty quick.”
“How do they even count it up to 50?”
“At least sack him.”
“They need to stop calling acts of assault ‘corporal punishment’.”
“50 times, seems more like he was trying to kill the boy, not discipline him.”

A 10% paycut for only 6 months? That is ridiculous!! He should be fired and not able to hold any more teaching jobs or any kind of job working with children again.
Agreed.
One more available spot for a lolicon teacher.. anyone?
..... maybe its just a bait.
i feel tempted to reply....
A 10% pay cut?! That's absurd! 5% would have been more than enough.
The student got off lightly if you ask me.
The poor teacher may have broken his knuckles delivering such a beating rendering him unable to "teach" any other students for months.
He would need help from female students for his onanism activities =(
So your saying its okay if a Teacher hits you 53 times school because you were eating on the Bus?
I bet you wouldn't make such jokes if the victim was a girl.
If you think you're funny, you're not.
I don't get it. You obviously recognized the sarcasm, yet you're still offended? It wasn't even badly done or offensive or in bad taste. Just a fittingly cynical remark on the attitudes and self-conception of Japan's teaching profession.
Sarcasm, some people don't get it
I thought it was funny in a clever way
I don't know about you, but have you seen some of the teens now days?
I want to become a teacher just so I have access to beat the crap out of them.
Call it what you will, but some of these stupid chav kids need their heads smashed on a rock, just for the fun of it :D
so, because you're old. you're feeling that you're the best? such a pity
I think its hilarious Mr. SeriousBusiness :)
Psh, knowing how things are over there, the teacher should've tentacle raeped the kid instead. Then he would've completely gotten away with it >.>
I concur. Though if related to this child in any fashion I would ambush said creep and hit with a piece of rebar 50 times. I'm female and will take on anyone willing to abuse children and animals. Monsters all of them.
Teachers in America are getting laid off...while teachers in Japan are held up with a pedestal. Time to switch career and go to Japan for a teaching job!
what the hell is up in japan??? how can someone getaway with this most places in the world ....they would lock up up and throw away the key.....
In America, if a teacher did this, the teacher would be lucky to be locked up before the students parents beat him.
In America, vigilante justice would have gotten to him so hard he's be wearing concrete shoes with a baseball bat embedded in his skull by now... I guess Japanese truly are herbivorous now.
Agreed. While I don't usually condone violence against other people, this is a case where the adult is clearly in the wrong and since the punishment by the authorities wasn't anywhere near harsh enough, the parents of the youth have to step in and get some justice.
He said he hit him 10 times. When principal finds out it was actually 53, he will have his full half pay cut.
Learn to read Anon. "they confronted the school with the report, forcing them to reinvestigate." After that the actual amount of slaps was discovered and only because of the reinvestigation his pay was reduced by 10%.
How can they have a better education system when they allow people like this to be teachers, and keep living after they do something like this?
It's called cooking the books.
The educational system is not really that much better when a child does poorly in what is the equivalent of jr high they get shipped off to a vocational school.
An interesting note late bloomers like Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman would have gotten swept under the rug in such a system.
Also, if their education were truly better, they'd likely have less hikki's, neets and freeters, etc.
Well, young generation unemployment rate is much higher in Europe and USA, which means they have more NEET than Japan....
Hikikomori are almost unknown in the west.
it's just we hear autism when we ask the west
There are reasons for that.
Japan's educational system is all about test prep and nothing else. In class, theory, after school, cram school for test prep. The system pumps out young ppl whose only skill is in test taking.
The mandatory financing, communication, networking, resume and interview etiquette classes that are all the rage in China, aren't even available as electives in Japan.
East Asian education systems are all brutal, but Japan's is in all the wrong ways.
Because Japan is weird place full of contradictions and extremes contrasting with each other.
It is because their teachers can do things like this that the children pay attention in school.
Heads up western education.
if sancom is any kind of reliable source, which it's not, they don't count the kids that drop out or are expelled or just don't plain show up, almost like they never existed. So those results are only based on the ones who actually bother to show up to school.Put another way, it's like baking a whole pie, then someone comes along and cuts out a slice, throws away the rest and says "Here's your whole pie."
53 hit combo
BRUTALITY
You win!
Flawless Victory

Seriously, the kid should be allowed to kick the teacher in the balls 53 times.
Teacher's balls?
Error 404.
ULTRA~ ULTRA~ COMBO!!
SUPREME VICTORY!
P2 > INSERT COIN
lol downvoters confirmed for teens that never played killer instinct.
When you have to hide your teaching method, you know you're doing something bad.
Well it said the teacher reported what he did not the student
Seems Japans school bullying problem starts with teachers "instructing" students to use violence to get the desired result.
Sh!* flows downhill...
Oh no! Not his pay reduced! ANYTHING BUT THAT!
Are you shitting me? I think they could get away with murder at this point and not be punished.
And why are the parents okay with this? Why aren't they demanding that mother fuckers head on a silver platter?
Even if they are, they'll fail at the prosecutor level at the latest. They probably won't even get that far. It's not unheard of that the police just flat out refuses to accept complaints in these cases. Those public "servants" are all in cahoots together.
So they probably just gave in to resignation right from the start. Japan just doesn't work that way.
They have gotten away with murder. By letting kids get bullied by their classmates and those kids then commit suicide. Murder, Rape, Assault. Perks of a teaching position in Japan
There's a difference though. Bullying is child on child and is within an underage limit. These are grown ass MEN hitting children like they were other grown ass MEN.
I don't condone bullying in any form but when it's someone who is supposed to be a TRUSTED and RESPONSIBLE adult? Un-fucking-forgivable.
And why aren't other teachers becoming involved? Who wants to work with one of these fucking sociopaths? I'd be petitioning their removal for the safety of the entire student body. Or at least paying them a home visit with a baseball bat.
Gender or age doesn't matter. Neither children, nor grown people should be hit. Period.
and I think it's better to give those 10% cuts plus 43% of his own to pay the boy who gets 53 hits
Seriously where the fuck do they keep finding these asshole teachers?
You'd figure there would be some sort of back ground check or personality test to weed out wastes of carbon atoms like this guy.
Personally since he put the kid in the hospital I'd like to hit him 53 times with a bat.
But first I'd want legal immunity in case I cripple or kill the guy.
become a teacher, you will have your legal immunity, though if you are a barbaric gaijin, I'm afraid the only choice you have is to become a US marine.
I'd rather be a rapist marine; they get more action.
Next time a US soldier rapes a japanese woman, we should just issue a statement saying, "It was a highly regrettable incident...but we should move on and not let the past bind us".
What goes around comes around jap cunt.
id hit him 53 times in the place his balls should be with a sledge hammer
Well if you think about it, you only hear and see what Sankaku reports . Everyone has crazed people like this.
