I saw this story listed somewhere else and immeadiately sent it to my girlfriend, who has always been fascinated with the differences in cultures.
Some observations:
1. The government official is hilarious - and typical of governments everywhere. Here is one politico that you could find anywhere in the world - he covers all bases for blame while insulating the system from any blame. The boys were warned and the teacher is a nutball.
2. Since more and more children, sadly, have no fear of academic failure within their own homes perhaps more countries should adopt this approach. Little Johnny may pipe down and make it easier for those children who actually want to learn if he sees his buddy Stevie end his academic career through classroom window.
