Uproar as Japan junior high principal demands student rewrite graduation essay on bullying https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260312/p2a/00m/0na/019000c

@redhero and the next steps are obvious, because Japan:

1. There will be an investigation
2. The principal will be "stood down"
3. The principal will be quietly shuffled off to another school halfway across the country
4. The noise will die down, and the authorities will quietly close the investigation

Every damn time.

@piepants @redhero this. Plus they'll make a new prevention rule and make sure their staff to follow it, so it doesn't happen again..
@sarcastictoast @piepants Maybe they need to send out more anonymous surveys.
@redhero @sarcastictoast they have to mull performing a survey before that.

@piepants @redhero How about a meeting? Better yet, a whole series of meetings. Gotta make sure they spend maximum time “discussing” it and zero time fixing whatever’s actually going on or even the root cause.

And of don't forget "we’ll “look into it”. Maybe form a committee. Draft a statement. Circle back. But hey, it’s end of fiscal year, so it’s 難しいーーーーなーーーーー.

@sarcastictoast @piepants “Our whole budget for harm prevention was spent on photocopying however”
@piepants @redhero Harassment in schools here gets tolerated, then brushed off, and the victim gets somehow blamed, almost every time. “We don’t recognize bullying as the cause of the absences,” so it’s “not serious”? Come on! That’s just word games to dodge responsibility. And god forbid you report it or even talk dare to about it. Same with the whole “strict teacher = good teacher” excuse - nope, it’s cover for abuse. Boils my piss for decades.
@sarcastictoast @piepants I don’t understand why attendance is considered to be so important anyhow. Social training that you shouldn’t ever take a day off I suppose.

@piepants @redhero

"we conclude that after everyone concerned with the event was relocated, that there was no way to conduct an investigation without the relevant people present, and thus the investigation was closed"
