The Ideal School My Vision -- Hana

  I think that to make a better world, we need people who can see our world in a positive way or a negative way. The people who make our world better before have their own thinking about problems and people’s needs even if that thinking is different from most peoples. I think the people who can make everyone’s life better were who can think for themselves and tackle the world’s problems. To grow these kinds of persons, I think we need to increase opportunity of students to think themselves and analyze the mechanism of how things are happening. 



　Especially in Japanese schools, I feel that lack of opportunities for thinking. I think everything we learn at school has a mechanism likely why we got reach to this answer. If we ask the questions which were learnt in elementary school, many people can’t explain why these answer will going to be correct. I think it means these adults didn’t have enough opportunities to think about the mechanism what they were studying. Also, many of my friends are thinking that ‘’If my grades are fine, everything will going to be alright’’. Just remembering difficult things hat makes people wonder ‘’Why am I studying this now?’’ in a negative way. Thinking about the mechanism makes study interesting and we can develop the analyze skill to solve problems appropriately. 

From this example, I think teachers should give minimum hints about questions and let students think first. That will develop the student’s analyze skill and this skill is useful to analyze the cause of issues or needs in the world. Maybe there are students who are not good at analyzing, but if the teacher or other students teach them how to take things apart in pieces slowly, even these kinds of students will get used to analyzing things. Also, this action will develop their relationships by cooperating. Thus, my ideal school is which has a lot of opportunities to think about the mechanism of things that are happening and it can develop the person who can analyze issues and think how to solve them.

    OH I'm feel sad about your bad experiences in japanese school, It's quite as same as Thailand too. Everyone think about "Why are we study this lesson?, Studies for what?". I'm agree with you that teachers should let students think the answer first, give attention to every students who are not good analying and help them to the best of their ability.

    Hi Hana 👋 Love your idea, somehow I felt relatable while reading it 🥺 Yes, I think it is quite the same in Vietnam education that it is more like spoon-feeding. I kinda understand why the education system runs like that, but same as you, I think encouraging students to think critically, and appreciating their ideas are also important ❤️

    I'm sure that is a bad aspect of Japanese education. Education is supposed to be a way to get new knowledge, so it should not be an obrigation...

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
