Primary School in Japan (Elementary school) vs England

Post by YoungSuccess »

Having followed the Japanese system for awhile, I thought this YouTube clips will give an idea of the "contrast" between the two systems. The Children helping in cleaning and running their school

The first clip is in not in English but its self explanatory.

2. In English - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCvy3Pcp7uI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

3. ...this continue in Secondary school - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd7tWufNX_Y" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

4. ...in Martila Arts School - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKgSSa2oMco" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

5. and there is a saying by a well known American martial art teacher who went to Japan and observed in Martial Arts classes / dojos , "In America / West, there are lot of "Masters"; in Japan there are "Students"..." :-)
Even the "masters" clean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoUCs7uK-38" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
