SCHOOLS IN JAPAN

Where does the school year start in April?

In primary school children usually wear children’s garments. In the secondary school and in establishments for higher education the uniform is obligatory. It can be white shirt with dark trousers – for boys, and skirts – for girls. Or it can be even “sailor fuku”, that means “sailor costume”.

The beginning of the school year is on the 6 of April, cos’ in the pride of the spring cherry tree blossoms. There is a movement in Japan, that stands for beginning of the school year on the 1st of September but it’s not popular enough.

Little Japanese start their education at the age of 6. And by this time they must know how to read, write and count.

Lessons at school begin at half past 8 as usual, and each lesson lasts 50 minutes. There is no homework in primary school, but in the secondary school and in universities it is so large, that children have to spend 5 or 6 hours a day doing their tasks. That’s why, in spite of holidays, Japanese pupils and students are the busiest in the country.

Exams are the most exhausted period for them. Pupils have to know ALL history in chronological order, names of ALL emperors and revolt leaders. And the main thing is not to try to discuss the reasons of historical events. Examiners dislike such students. Good marks get industrious and disciplined pupils, that obey and never stick to their ground.

Mothers always keep in touch with teachers and force their offsprings to study thoroughly. No one can evade mothers’ watchful eye. They know as much as teachers, because they used to study the same way. Sometimes mother attends lessons if her child is ill. Such crazy mothers deserve their nickname “keyku mama”, that means – mother, that is obsessed by education.

Children can scrounge off their parents until they are 25 or even 30.

After the lessons pupils clean the whole school and plot themselves. There’re no cleaners in Japanese schools.

It seems to us that little Japanese hate school, but girls are luckier than boys. After school when boys by the sweat of their brow do homework, girls can go shopping, spend time in coffee house or look through some magazine. Because Japanese believe that woman’s first consideration is motherhood. That’s why girls have some ease-up at school.

TEST 14

Read the article below for 5 minutes. Use the skimming reading to answer the following questions:

1. What is the essential ingredient of a civilized society?

2. What is recounted by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy in “When Elephants Weep”.

3. Does Nancy Eisenberg agree with Carolyn Zahn-Waxler’s statement?

4. Children should be helped to recognize their own feelings or to express them?

5. Can freedom that child receives help him/her to regulate emotions?

6. Should children be threatened with a loss of love for their misbehavior?

7. Is “Lion, Witch and Wardrobe” the book written by Marilyn Sadler?

8. For older children, Dr. Greenspan suggested books like “To Kill a Mockingbird”  and “The Diary of Anne Frank”, did he?

9. Which old saying can be made as a rule: “Do as I do” or “Do as I say”?

Start Early

If children are to relate positively to others, they must feel secure themselves and “have a secure attachment to another person,” said Carolyn Zahn-Waxler, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin. Infants and young children whose own distress is ignored, scorned or, worse yet, punished can quickly become distrustful of their environment and feel unsafe.

Nancy Eisenberg, a psychologist at Arizona State University, agreed. “Children need a positive, caring relationship with their parents or caretakers,” she said in an interview, “if they are to be able to go beyond themselves to care about others.”

Children should also be helped to recognize their own feelings and express them, he wrote. By learning to identify and label their feelings, children are better able to recognize the feelings of others. For example, when a child becomes frustrated with a toy car and throws it across the room, his caretaker could say something like: “You’re feeling upset because the car isn’t working the way it should. You don’t like it when toys don’t work.”

Dr. Zahn-Waxler says the kind of discipline a child receives should “help the child regulate emotion, to calm down rather than become more agitated.” She advises parents to stay calm: “The more emotionally aroused you are, the more aroused the child is likely to become. Hitting or screaming at a child results in anger and fear and interferes with the child’s ability to care for others.”

Dr. Eisenberg emphasized that in addition to avoiding physical punishment, “children should never be threatened with a loss of love” for misbehavior.

Even very young children need to know how their behavior affects others, experts say. They need to have it explained why certain behaviors are hurtful or helpful, and how to make up for bad behavior.

“Be really explicit, because children can’t draw conclusions as easily as an older person,” Dr. Taylor said.

Also helpful, she said, is reading books and talking about how people (or animals) in a story feel and why they feel that way.

One such book, “P. J. the Spoiled Bunny,” by Marilyn Sadler (Random House, 1986), can help children appreciate the effects of being selfish and stubborn and always demanding one’s way. The story helps children see how someone’s actions affect the attitudes and responses of others. P. J. learns in the story that by behaving differently he could have more fun with his friends.

For older children, Dr. Greenspan suggested books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Even televised events of natural disasters can help, by encouraging a child to imagine what it must be like for people whose lives are devastated by an earthquake or tsunami.

Modeling Empathy

Parents and teachers can set a good example of empathetic behavior by how they behave themselves. The old saying “Do as I do” has particular relevance for fostering empathy in children.

“Parents need to be models of altruism, compassion and caring,” Dr. Zahn-Waxler said. “It’s not enough to talk the talk. You need to be seen doing it and you need to show caring behavior toward your child.”

TEST 16

Read what Janey and Silvio write about their parents. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

My parents are great. They are very fair and they always discuss things with us. Dad worries about his little girls but Mum likes to give us enough freedom to learn from our mistakes. The only rule is that I must tell them where I'm going and who I am with. I think my parents have got it right: they are interested in us but they don't want to control us.

Janey 16

My parents were too careful – they worried about me and my two brothers all the time. Our parents both had terrible childhoods so they wanted ours to be perfect. Every minute of our lives was spent doing expensive things – we never got time to be kids just playing on our bikes in the street. What they don’t undestand is that we didn't want our childhood to be perfect – we wanted it to be normal. We were spoilt and I don’t think they taught us the value of working for things. I learnt that when I left home and started to spend my own money!

Silvio 21

1. Janey likes her parents.__

2. She's got a brother..__

3. Her parents listen to her ideas..__

4. Her parents have lots of rules.__

5. Her parents give her enough freedom.__

7. He's got brothers.__

TEST 17

Readers' Advice

1. You should be happy that your daughter wants to live with you. Don't complain, you won't like it when she leaves you and you have to live alone.

Helen

2. Get help for your son as quickly as possible. You must speak to his school and take him to see your family doctor. You must try to talk to him even if he is rude or doesn't answer.

Daphne

3. You should ask your daughter to leave. You have a good relationship so you can say this kindly. You must give her enough time to find a new home – and perhaps you can help her.

Norah

4. Why are you worried? Your son is growing up and he has to make his own mistakes. Why shouldn't he stay in his bedroom? You should give your son the freedom to grow up.

Bill
