September has already started.

It has been a long time since I updated this blog. September has already started.
It means our new school term has already started.
Let me introduce an interesting news.

Bad news for students

I didn't know that we were able to buy all summer homework by online shopping until this news was announced.
It prompted debates, like this.

 

 

1. What is the word of homework defined according to the Japanese newspaper?

 

2. What is the problem according to Japan education ministry?

 

3, What do you think of it?

 

 

 

My answer.

1. "homework" is to study at home by themselves. It is one way to engage proactively with learning aimed at independence.



 The important thing is to do, not to submit it.

2. Originally, homework is to be done at home, it is not goods to sell and buy as business.

3. I understand the aim, on the other hand, I know it is very important to submit it.
Probably it is a matter of morale.
If you couldn't saw dust cloth and asked your neighbor to do it, and  your mother gave some present in return (of course your mother couldn't do that), -- it would be acceptable.
If you couldn't research something and asked your neighbor to do it, and your father gave some present in return (of course your father couldn't do that), -- it would be acceptable.
However, it is not acceptable to be done as business.
One the other hand, if such way were acceptable, in a few years summer homework would not be given to kids.
