Well they were, in at least one Japanese school classroom. From the ever reliable Japan Probe (http://www.japanprobe.com/2010/10/28/teacher-used-sexual-harassment-dice-to-decide-classroom-punishments/):
QuoteThe 59-year-old teacher at Ogi Elementary School in Iruma, Saitama Prefecture, apparently had three dice, one with sides marked with the words "hug" and " forgiven," another marked with "kiss," "snot" and "forgiven" among others, and the third marked with "snot" and "forgiven." Students who forgot to bring something to class were forced to roll one of the dice. The teacher has apparently admitted to kissing one boy and acting as if he would put snot on one girl. He nicknamed the dice the "sexual harassment dice."
"I made the dice while playing with the children. The first two dice were for boys, and the third was for girls," the teacher has told the Iruma Municipal Board of Education. "I apologize deeply for my complacent teaching method."
complacent?
:?
I don't even understand, except that it's weird.
I like to think that if an American teacher tried that, not only would the kids not comply, they would eat him alive. And get medals for it.

Thats probably what he meant by complacent. Little Timmy brings a knife to class and all he gets is a kiss from a creepy old man.
Or a booger on the forehead.
Christ, what an asshole.
Now that's what I call dicey behavior!
Never Say Die. :horrormirth:
