Corporal punishment

Recently, there was a supreme court decision about an instance of corporal punishment that occurred in Amakusa in Kumamoto.  最近、天草で起きて体罰事件に関する最高裁の判決がありました。The court ruled that the rough treatment of the second grader (grabbing him by the front of the shirt and pushing him up against a while yelling at him) did not constitute corporal punishment.  最高裁は講師の行動が体罰に当たらないとの判断を下さしました。Perhaps corporal punishment would be an interesting topic of discussion.  体罰について議論するといいかも知れません。

Here's the address of an article in English:
