NY Times story

On the left is a fire extinguisher cabinet in Japan. On the right a young boy is showing his new "hiding spot" book bag. Japanese culture is about avoiding conflict and this item, they hope, will allow the boy to hide and the bully to pass by and not continue to bother him.

The story goes on to say that it may not have much use in the USA...Ya Think???

I dunno. Finally snapping and hitting the Chief Bully in the head with Modern Chemistry was pretty effective in cutting down on the class-change locker time bullying when I was in high school. He grossly underestimated my determination AND my aim. (That book has sharp corners. Who knew.)
