Japanese schools
When the Ministry of Education said “pass the baton,” some folks threw it in the trash instead.
A coalition of students, teachers, and lawyers submitted the petition to the Japanese Ministry of Education on March 26.
Some people may want to abolish school uniforms, but others are strongly in favor of them.
Yes, the slide is built on school desks stacked on top of each other, but that just makes the ride even more thrilling.
Japanese students test their TV trivia knowledge and their ability to keep up with the beat in this new rhythm game that’s gone viral.
Right now kids across Japan are rejoicing that their school summer break has finally arrived, despite the fact that, like other students in many other parts of Asia, they’re given stacks of homework to complete during their month off.
This homework is often piled on top of other summer cram-school study sessions, camps, and other activities their parents may have already signed their children up for up, and over the years mothers and fathers have found it increasingly hard to keep their kids from putting their summer homework off until the last minute, especially once they reach that “rebellious stage” children usually go through. In fact, summer homework leaves some parents so stressed out that they even seek out homework completion services than spend endless days nagging at their kids.
Fortunately that won’t be the case this year for one Japanese father, who had the ingenious idea of using reverse psychology on his kids in order to get them to finish their assignments quickly.
