all you thumbs down people - do you really enjoy sending your kids off to school where teachers have much more to do than teaching their students and often leave the playground, halls and classrooms unattended? good for you, then. i was happy so i complained. didn
t do much good but i feel there was attention brought to this problem in my sons school anyway.Posted in: Parents awarded Y12 mil after child injured smashing milk bottles together at school

yeah as long as it has been completely inspected and contingency plans are in place. i hope people realize it really wasn`t the earthquake that destroyed fukushima reactor but not having been properly inspected and no contingency plans were in place. hubris and greed were mostly to blame.

what renewable energy?!?!?!?!?! can`t see any that are sustainable.
Posted in: With an abundance of renewable energy resources and top-class technology, Japan can easily become a renewable energy leader, while simultaneously ending its reliance on risky and expensive nuclear technology.

@yubaru - lucky for you but in my experience of teaching in elem school in the us and japan - the teachers in the us have much more watching duty. i did lunch room, playground and hall/front of school everyday duty in rotation. i wonder if there was a teacher on the playground when your tyke fell. i am guessing not. teachers in japan have way too much to do that has little to do with teaching/students. i think they should lessen the burden on teachers in japan. but my opinion stands that teachers often leave the classroom (we got the roving teachers to cover our room when we had to use the facilities) and this is when accidents and bullying are more prone to happen. and please note i did not agree nor disagree with the ruling i merely made observations.

the teachers are not doing everything they can to prevent accidents because they ARE NOT IN THE CLASSROOM for long periods of time. who leaves elementary school children alone? i mean who does that? this kind of situations is ripe for accidents and bullying.

i also think a key word here is the students were UNSUPERVISED at the time. that is in adition to the monster parents.
