According to Japan education news, there was a bad news in Japan because of the way that teachers use for teaching which they thought it would help students to learn faster. In this case, it can cause a lot of problems for everyone.
A foreign English teacher used Hangman to teach student and have fun in the same time. Hangman is a game that when students make a mistake on guessing a letter, and a teacher will draw a line until they get a man who is being hanged. One of the students in English class at some Junior high school in Japan hung himself as the man that his teacher drew in class. They found the evidence that in the area that the boy died was a hangman picture. Some people said it is not appropriate to use this way of teaching because the situations like this often have happened. Moreover, they found that the boy wrote a note that he got along well with people who is in suicide website. In brief, alternative way of teaching can cause a harmful circumstance.
From my point of view, any school that has young children should be aware of this kind of situation because the kids do not know what is right or wrong. If they want to use alternative way of teaching, they should suggest them to not do thing incorrectly. If they had more carefully, there will not be such a bad situation.
