Japanese education: teaching children to be independent

Japanese education teaches people to be aware and responsible

 Japanese people’s consciousness is also completely different. The streets in Japan are extremely clean, absolutely no water from houses or shops or agencies to the street. Regarding the sense of obeying the Traffic Law of the Japanese people, it is not necessary to say, in the traffic light whether it is a small alley, few people pass by, or even just by themselves, the Japanese people still strictly follow …

 When going into the elevator, in case there are many people with Japanese people, it is familiar or strange, the Japanese will keep the button open for everyone to enter and they will be the last to enter. If there are too many, they are willing to yield to everyone and take the next trip; When it comes to the elevator, if Japanese people stand next to the opening button, then the Japanese always stand and hold the button open, let everyone go out and they are always the last.

So why do Japanese people have such awareness and responsibility?

 To have such awareness and responsibility, the Japanese have a completely special educational method compared to other countries. They start right from the education in school and teach students how to behave, lifestyle for themselves from the smallest things.

 Regarding the model of high school education program, Japan is similar to Vietnam. General education is 12 years, grades 1 to 12 (age 6 to 17 years). However, the model in Japan follows the model: 6 3 3 (6-year elementary school, 3-year junior high school, 3-year high school). And Vietnam Primary School is 5 years, Middle School 4 years, High School 3 years (model: 5-4-3); Regarding labor education for students in Japan, it is completely different from Vietnam, schools do not have to hire workers, but those things make the students clean up their own schools. At Sho Wa Girls High School in Tokyo, the period is 8 periods / day but there are 2 periods of labor (4 periods in the morning, 4 periods in the afternoon: 2 periods and 2 periods).

 Lunch was also done by the Japanese students, who prepared their own meals for each of their peers (each took turns to cook lunch). In the afternoon, the students take 2 periods and the last 2 periods are a break time and change clothes to clean up the school (each student has a closet and personal labor protection).

Japanese education – the unity between school education and family education

 Only a small part of Japanese education is enough to make people aware that all must start from education: education right in the school and education in the family. However, not every country can do this method of education, which is the unity between school education and Japanese family education. When the teacher teaches children to be independent, they go to their parents and grandparents’ houses instead of taking care of the grandchildren.
