I think Japanese schools and parents are stricter than UK schools with children and education. Joining a club is strongly expected of students and their lives are much busier than students in Europe of American. Actually, South Korean students have the toughest study life, but it’s also tough in Japan. Classes in the UK are usually more interactive too, with games, powerpoint interaction, debates, and discussion. Whereas in Japan I heard that students just listen to the teacher and write in a book. It sounds like my University life!
As a British student, I didn’t have to study as hard as people in Asia do. But that is probably also why countries in Asia have higher education rankings. However, I wonder if such a serious education is useful for working. Most of our education is not used in our jobs. So even if somebody knows many things, how can they be expected to be great at doing any job? I think we need a balance.
- How was life for you at school?
- Did you enjoy studying hard?
- Do you think club activities are necessary or important?
- What do you think is an ideal school life? Should students rest more?
- Do you think people feel too much pressure at school?
