TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese teenager was forced by his teacher to write an apology in blood after dozing in the classroom, the school's principal said on Monday.

The teacher later went to high school principal Hiroaki Dan and confessed what he had done, Dan told Reuters.

The teacher had apologized to the 17-year-old boy and his parents, Dan said, confirming a local media report of the incident, which happened last Thursday.

He said the boy was taken to the staff room of the school in Fukuoka City, southern Japan, after being caught asleep during a lesson. The 40-year-old male teacher handed the boy a box-cutter and paper and told him to write an apology in blood.

3. Well you can give an interesting lecture

or you can extract blood from your students.

A box cutter, eh? Any Al Queda connection alleged yet?

4. I had a sleeper.....

He slept in all his classes every day. Before I get flamed-we did all the proper things with him..investigated his home life...medical check....he just slept all the time....
anyway... I had him last period of the day, one day, a few moments before the end of class, the students packed up quietly and we left the room and turned out the lights...I came back awhile later he was still snoozing....I woke him up when I was leaving, around 4:00. He was pissed. His parents refused to come to pick him up, so he had to walk home.It was the last time he slept in my class.

10. It would have been funnier if you had somehow made him believe that

it was 4:00A.M..

7. HA! In old Japan, that would have been acceptable!

They're getting weak over there.

Sad.

8. Did he say whose blood?

If there was any promise in the lad as an attorney, he would have taken those boxcutters and sliced into the teacher and claimed he was only following orders.

9. Why'd he get such a light punishment?

Shouldn't he have been flogged afterwards as well?
