@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 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.
