TOKYO (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.

This is sickening forcing a student to intentionally cut himself and write in blood and can anybody explain to me what dozing means?

Dozing (off) is falling sleep...That sure is gross, disturbing and stupid:mad:

Dozing means to be asleep.

That is pretty weird what the teacher told him to do. Maybe he didn't think the kid would go through with it. Then again, those Japanese schools are pretty strict, but that is going a wee bit too far.

Dozing is another word for sleeping, something that is obviously frowned upon in Japan. It looks as though the teacher will not not be fired, since it wasnt in the story. School sounds crazy in Japan.

whoa, thats horrible. really messed up.

Ooookay that's disgusting.

The ef? People are strange...

I don't want to know what would happen if he was caught cheating on a test...

Probably :bonk: or :whip :joke:

Oh, that's disturbing. :eek3:

This teacher is going to allow teaching at that school?! I cannot believe this. That punishment was horrendous. And Japan's school system is really screwed up, in more ways than one.

That's just sick. :eek:

That's stupid, sick, and mean!
