Hitting at school in Japan is gonna be banned


Hitting at school in Japan is gonna be banned?
I heard that the government of Japan is going to end corporal punishment at school. If someone purposely died of hypothermia leaving a message that they want to ban this abuse in Japan; would this be likely to ensure that the ban takes place? What is the odds of the ban occurring with that persons death? What is the odds of the ban occurring without that persons death? Michio Kaku

...? It is already forbidden for a long time. You don't mean by corporal punishments a slight poking on the kids heads, do you?

Technically banned things happen here all the time. They still get more physical with students than teachers in other countries are allowed to be.

What the hell are you talking about? There isn't such an abuse issue in Japan today and nobody is certainly complaining about it. Teachers nowadays wouldn't do any punishment that's even remotely corporal from the fear of firing and lawsuit. If anything people there are complaining about the lack of discipline in school (学級崩壊) and "monster parents" (モンスターペアレント) since the introduction of Yutori education (ゆとり教育).
