Japan teacher handed 10% pay cut for one month for tying boy with disability to chair during lunchtime
According to the prefectural education board, on Dec. 7, 2022, a 44-year-old teacher tied a second grader with intellectual disabilities to a chair by binding his arms and waist with a long jump rope because the boy stood up and walked around during lunchtime. When the rope became loose, the teacher reportedly tied him up again and secured the boy in place.
