1) Be polite. In Japanese schools, students don't take exams until they are 10. Usually it's just a quiz. They believe that the goal of the first three years of school is not to judge children's knowledge or study, but to establish good manners and develop their personality. Children are taught to respect others and be kind to animals and nature. They also learn how to be generous, compassionate and compassionate. In addition, students learn how to acquire qualities such as courage, self-control and justice.
2) Students clean the school by themselves. In Japanese schools, classrooms, canteens and even toilets are cleaned by students themselves. When cleaning, students are divided into groups and assigned to rotate throughout the year. Japan's education system believes that requiring students to clean themselves has taught them teamwork and mutual help. In addition, spend time and energy on sweeping, mopping and scrubbing the floor, so that students can respect their own labor and others' labor.
3) In Japanese schools, standardized menus are provided for school lunches. Japan's education system does its best to ensure that students eat a healthy and balanced diet. The whole class eats with the teacher. It is helpful to establish a positive relationship between teachers and students.
4) After-school workshops are very popular in Japan. In order to get into a good junior high school, most Japanese students enter preparatory schools or attend private after-school workshops. These courses are held in the evening. In Japan, a group of children often come back from extracurricular classes in the middle of the night. Japanese students have eight hours of class time, but in addition, they also study on holidays and weekends.
5) In addition to traditional subjects, Japanese students also study Japanese calligraphy and poetry. Both courses teach children to respect their own culture.
Almost all students must wear school uniforms. Dressing can get rid of extra attention and let them enter the learning state. It also helps to promote children's sense of team.
Of course, there must be strong and effective teaching and learning behind all these factors, but understanding the advantages of many countries with successful education will also help us improve in this field.
