Japanese boy writes apology in blood
When I was teaching, this sort of punishment sure would have come in handy. As it was, I had to settle for scraping a piece of chalk down a chalkboard. It worked almost as well, and no one had to give blood to do it....
TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A Japanese teenager was forced by his teacher to write an apology in blood after dozing in the classroom, the school's principal said on Monday.
The teacher later went to high school principal Hiroaki Dan and confessed what he had done, Dan told Reuters.
The teacher had apologized to the 17-year-old boy and his parents, Dan said, confirming a local media report of the incident, which happened last Thursday.
He said the boy was taken to the staff room of the school in Fukuoka City, southern Japan, after being caught asleep during a lesson. The 40-year-old male teacher handed the boy a box-cutter and paper and told him to write an apology in blood.
The teacher left the student, who then cut his finger and began to write an apology using his own blood.
Other teachers in the staff room did not notice what was happening, Dan said.
OK, a boy is sitting down, writing an apology IN HIS OWN BLOOD AND NO ONE NOTICES?? Kinda makes you miss the nuns from your Catholic school days, eh??
