Is the hazing in Japanese schools really that bad?

Della Scott I wondered the same thing, especially since it seems that the teachers also participated to some extent, and it also became physical. I am about halfway through this on audiobook.
I would actually call it "bullying" because hazing implies an initiation, and an initiation ends once you're initiated. Small point.
