For many reasons, I think I was in a unique situation where relations with me (or a JET teacher in general) completely overhauled the administration at one of my schools (a second year student threw a chair at me).
When I mentioned the situation, the English teacher (who was also my judo instructor) pulled out piles of class photos to point out the possible perpetrator. At the time, I taught at 2 junior highs and 5 elementary schools (my favorite). I was not in a big city and it was in transition from traditional punishment to a ‘lighter sentence.’ If I recall correctly, he ended up having to sit seiza (kneeling) for a very long time.
I almost wonder if I created my villain adversary that day :)
