Elementary school teacher in his 50s is corporal punishment.
In a moral class at an elementary school in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, it was found that a male teacher in his 50s was angry and injured by a boy who was cautioned about how to teach. The child is absent from school, and the City Board of Education is considering disposing of the teacher as corporal punishment.
According to the Himeji City Board of Education, on November 29, a 50-year-old male teacher working in a public elementary school in the city visited another elementary school for new teachers and attended a third-year moral class.
When a male teacher touched the body to correct the attitude of a girl child, a boy student of a classmate warned him to stop saying "I don't like it."
In response, the teacher took the boy to the corridor and tried to face the front with both hands, and the child suffered an injury such as a neck injury. It means that boys are absent from school after this.
The elementary school contacted the boys' parents on the 2nd of this month to ascertain the situation, and the male teacher apologized at the school gathering for "being emotional to the children's words."
