Discipline In Class

**vidcc** · 06-22-2004, 04:36 PM

Ok this is unacceptable but the fact that the student complied shows the respect he has for his teacher...... The gift of knowledge is a precious thing, if it were not for these fine educators i would not be where i am today.

Pupil who fell asleep told to write in own blood
By Julian Ryall in Tokyo

A Japanese boy who fell asleep in class was ordered to write an essay in his own blood as an apology to his teacher.

 

The 17-year-old was given a boxcutter and a piece of paper and told by the teacher to write "not in pencil, but in blood" because he was not sufficiently repentant.

The boy sliced open the index finger on his left hand and used the blood as ink.

"To ask a student to write in their own blood is something that I just can't imagine," said Hiroaki Dan, headmaster of the school in Fukuoka, southern Japan.

The 40-year-old teacher - who has not been named - has apologised to the boy and his parents. He is expected to resume teaching this week.

In the past teachers, referred to as "churchmen", have traditionally been held in high esteem by Japanese society. This incident will further damage a profession whose reputation is already reeling.

In recent months, several teachers have been arrested for having sex with their students. Another was sacked after taking his students on a field trip to a massage parlour.

That is sad. This is what the world has come to today. I can't believe it. He should be fired, or atleast get beaten up by all the kids in his class

But seriously i never knew this was happening.

maybe this seems harsh to you americans but this is the way in the early times of Japanese school system. Discipline like this is commonplace.

This sort of discipline is probably not the best for the students but in asia, teachers are held in high esteem and school will not fire teachers for matters like these

Could you imagine what would have happened to the teacher if this had happened in the US? There would be people calling for the death penalty for her.

I used to have a teacher in High School that had a great way of dealing with people who fell asleep in her class. What she would do is once you’d fall asleep she would take a picture of you and put it up on the wall so all the other classes that she taught could see. It was embarrassing to say the least, but even though it was embarrassing I had more than one picture on that wall

it wasn't the fact that you were asleep it was the drool from the corner of your mouth

Oh and the tape recording where you sleep talked and said "vote democrat"

**BigBank_Hank** · 06-22-2004, 05:13 PM

No matter how many subliminal messages were played I still couldn’t vote for a democrat

I’ve been quiet as of late because of President Bush’s booming economy has kept me busy

, although I wish I still were at the beach.
