The differences between primary and Japanese French
In Japan, we say that it is through the school, family and neighborhood that we teach children discipline.
By living with my boyfriend, I realized that here is not the same thing.
In Japan, students attend school for not only studying math, Japanese, history etc ... but also to cope with life, that is to say
- Learn to take responsibility
- adapt to community life
- be aware of social problems
- understand the functioning of society
- savoir vivre
Since I have discussed that with my buddy who went to a public elementary school, I can perhaps not generalize.
But I still find that there is a big gap between my school and his own.
Me I went to an elementary school "banal". Here
first parties are examples of activities was in my school there are about fifteen years. They will surely amaze
:
- Every day after lunch each group was cleaning his office by rotation, such as: the classroom, the corridors, courtyard, toilets, gymnasium etc. ...
At the end of each semester was a great place clean: the floor is waxed
course, the teachers were watching us and even helped us.
- It's a little hard to explain but in Japan, from CM1, all students manage a Admnistration which is divided into committees: Health, in charge of elections, environment, sports, events, journalism.
The committee participation was part of the curriculum. Above
committees there are a "representative schools" composed of students elected by other students. A committee
is composed of a chairman, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and normal limbs.
1 time per month each committee meets for one hour to discuss their project.
When the committee representing the school needs, it can meet the chairmen of other committees outside of school hours.
- Once a semester, a course was organized dental hygiene.
product was used to check if students brushed their teeth well.
In addition to the end of every lunch, when children brushed their teeth, they broadcast a video demonstration so that they mimic a good brushing.
- At lunch the classroom turns into a canteen, that we eat in the room with the class teacher. A group of pupils (which changes every week) will look for a food cart in the kitchen of the school and then distributing it in their classroom as a self.
to follow ...
(There are many activities, is nostalgic for me!)
