Navigating Concerns in Japan's Public School Education: A Foreigner's Perspective

Recently, there's been a bit of a "fuzziness" surrounding public school education in Japan. Let's explore this issue from the perspective of a foreigner.

First off, it's hard not to notice how busy teachers seem to be. There are claims that individual care for students is being sacrificed. Back in my school days, teachers knew your name and valued your interests and talents. But nowadays, it seems like everyone follows the same curriculum, and there's this attitude of "well, as long as you pass, it's okay," which might be lowering the quality of education.

On top of that, there's concern about the shortage of teachers. It seems like young people aren't as interested in this profession as they used to be. Teaching used to be a respected profession, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Naturally, this shortage of teachers directly impacts the quality of education.

Japanese culture is fascinating, but it can be a bit hard to understand at times. While　self-awareness　（日本語で悟る） is highly valued, it's not always easy for foreigners to grasp. And especially with Japan's education system having its own unique rules and customs, it can be quite confusing.

But to address these issues, proactive steps are necessary. Foreign students and parents should consider participating in school club activities (Highly recommended) and learning from Japanese moms. Additionally, it's crucial to engage in information exchange and communication to collectively tackle these problems.

While there may be some challenges with Japan's public school education, approaching them from different perspectives could lead to improvement. Let's leverage the experiences and knowledge of foreigners to create a better educational environment for everyone!
