September 15th, 2010 - 5:55 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, Sep 15 (DPA) A Japanese primary-school teacher got into trouble after asking his students to calculate how many days it would take to kill 18 children if you murdered three each day, a news report said Wednesday.
The education authority in Aichi prefecture let the 45-year-old teacher in the city of Okazaki off with a warning, the Kyodo News agency reported.
