At the end of July 2025, Telegram channels spoke about the harsh decision that allegedly made the leadership of one of the Japanese schools. We checked the reliability of such publications.
It is alleged that recently in Japan, teachers who worked as a cashier of a 24 -hour store noticed in Japan. Because of this, he was forced to publicly apologize to the students and their parents for his unworthy behavior, and then he was completely fired from the school with the wording "for undermining the confidence in the education system." Many posts about this story clarify that in Japan such part-time jobs are considered something shameful, although, for example, to get drunk after work is a normal socially acceptable practice.

Search by Japanese media showed that the incident, similar to the described in Telegram channels, happened In July 2025 in the Japanese city of Okayama. The director of the local school received a signal that one of the teachers was working on a round -the -clock store, and went there to make sure of this. When the information was confirmed, the trial began. It turned out that the teacher worked in the store at night and the weekend since November, having earned about 1.7 million yen (approximately $ 11,000) during this time. According to the man, financial difficulties pushed him to this step: he returned to work at school after he retired, and in such cases the salary is noticeable Reduced (about 30%). To compensate for the difference, the teacher and decided to work on a part -time job.
The work itself in round-the-clock stores of walking distance (combi) is not considered at all in Japan something shameful. Traditionally They are engaged in a part -time job High school students (about 65% of them have such experience) and students (among them this figure reaches 98%).

Commenting on what happened, the guilty teacher said: he deeply regrets that his actions violated the professional ethics of the civil servant, and asked for dismissal. “Verified” did not find information in the Japanese press that this request was satisfied. It is only said that the Department of Education of the Prefecture Okayama He brought the teacher a disciplinary sanction In the form of reprimand. In addition, the department Calling On this occasion, a meeting of school directors, which reminded of the importance of compliance with legislation and professional ethics.
Thus, although the posts of Telegram channels are based on real news, many of its details are retold incorrectly. The Japanese teacher really combined teaching with work in the store and thereby violated the law prohibiting civil servants to earn extra money without the permission of the leadership. For this he was made a disciplinary reprimand. He submitted a dismissal application of his own free will, but at the time of publication of this analysis of the data that his application was satisfied, no.
