Japanese philosophy of education
The traditional family education in Japan pays attention to the socialization of children, and the study of systematic homework is basically entrusted to the school, and parents only do supervision and support. Generally speaking, children are more tolerant of spontaneous games such as climbing trees and walls and exploring strange things. They have a proverb: "A beloved child should be let out to wander." This shows that the Japanese attach importance to practical exercise.

The development of science and technology in Japan is of course related to the government's emphasis on science and talents. More importantly, Japan has integrated quality education into children's daily life, and primary and secondary schools in China are also emphasizing quality education. Of course, quality education should cultivate them to establish a correct outlook on life and values, but this kind of education should be reflected in the small details of daily life, so as to see the big picture.

There are no exams in primary schools: in public primary schools in Japan, students basically have no exams before entering the fourth grade, only some small unit tests. Their educational purpose is not to "judge children's knowledge, memory and examination ability from the very beginning".

There are also common customs and habits in family life and community life. Neddick, a sociologist, concluded that Japanese culture belongs to "shame" culture (compared with the "sin" culture in the West), and it is gratifying and commendable to treat people with public opinion of good and evil, and it is embarrassing to be afraid of being gossiped.
