Are You Tougher Than a Fifth Grader?

-coming this spring-

/talk about laying the smack down.

Wasn't this a Monty Python skit or something?

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

You realize kids have already started started defending themselves, don't you?

bigpeeler: Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Let's see...estimate the class size at about twenty students...

This teacher has the power of ten Moe Howards!

Meh, they deserved it.

Impressed!

At least she didn't make them drink a gallon of milk!!!

no Hero tag?

Good. She's training them early. The whole class is responsible for the misbehavior of a few, since if a few misbehave, the teacher must waste classtime to settle the problem and little, therefore, is taught/learned. Maybe the students will start policing their peers now.

This story doesn't end in seppuku.

This is a complete SLAP IN THE FACE!

must have been some sort of assembly line...

I love how the article implies smacking the bad kids in the face is ok, but she went overboard in slapping all of them.

No child's left behind was slapped.

Were they learning names and just not getting 'em right?

/Yo' name is TOBAY!

Discipline! *SMACK* Discipline! *SMACK* Discipline! *SMACK* Discipline! *SMACK*.....

Sounds like every day in Catholic school c.1960's.

How many videos have you seen with the premise of Japanese
School Girls getting spanked? Just sayin.

That's what I'm wondering!

I'd hit that?

The funniest thing about this is that is implies that it would have been fine, as long as she just slapped the ones who misbehaved.

FTA - "prompting the infuriated instructor to line all the students up and slap them in the face, even though most of them were not at fault"

The difference between the U.S. and Japan...

Well that is how most of Japan works.

American idiom: The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Japanese idiom: The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

Russian idiom: The weak wheel makes all the noise.

subby should've included the fact that she was a substitute teacher

Famouspolka: At least she didn't make them drink a gallon of milk!!!

Or asked them what the banana tastes like.

/This is Japan, after all
//shudders at the thought

Yeah, of all the concepts I want children learning, "You should accept collective guilt as a valid concept." isn't one of them.

Approves

This is probably big news... in Japan. Call me when they have a new teacher/student sex scandal every week.

One of the ways the U.S. should learn and be more like another country. What ever happened to REAL punishment in schools anyway? I will GUARANTEE that there would not be this pathetic epedemic of kids who need Ritalin and BS drugs for attention blah blah blah. They're just unmannered little shiats that need to be smacked 2 or 3 or 100 times real hard to get a clue. If I didn't get my ass beat from time to time I'd have probably ended up in jail with time...

What school district are you referring to? That's an awesomely low class count 'round these parts.

FTFA - "...students were supposed to observe plants growing ..."

Watching grass grow?

Taleri: Good. She's training them early. The whole class is responsible for the misbehavior of a few, since if a few misbehave, the teacher must waste classtime to settle the problem and little, therefore, is taught/learned. Maybe the students will start policing their peers now.

You don't think she was waisting class time by slapping them all?

//on your candy ass

prompting the infuriated instructor to line all the students up and slap them in the face, even though most of them were not at fault.

I wonder if he went and slapped each kid indivitually or just walked down the line in one continuous slap.

I generally assume that this is how Japanese culture operates.

I have a friend over there as a JET and he says that during the teacher meetings the principal will list off students who have been seen breaking school rules away from school. So and so smokes in the park away from school and on a day off, it goes into the announcements and they get punished by their teacher.

On my version, he said "SHUT UP!" to each of them. Otherwise I would have got it.

and not one kid slapped her back. a whole classroom of wusses.

OW! now my hand is sore....

Good. I think that you should be able to smack other people's children if they deserve it.

Corporal punishment was in vogue when my brother and I were young. Dad made it clear that any teacher or principal whom laid a hand on us would be knocked out.

American kids would have slapped the biatch right back. If the parents didn't also beat the crap out of her.
