Ok so today this post isn't about language learning. However today I saw something that really surprised me, basically a man illegally walked into a school, wielding a kitchen knife. The school teachers "surrounded the man and held him in place using the weapon", the weapon being a sasumata. Now that's some pretty courageous behaviour, I can tell you that this wouldn't have happened in the UK, no way. Our teachers would probably hit the deck and do as the man said and as this guy was obviously a psychopath he would of stabbed them anyway. I applaud these teachers!
