The Ideal School : My Vision -- Yuri

   My ideal school, which I imagine, is a free school. This is because it is becoming important in Japan nowadays. I will write about it in this essay.

   Firstly, the old style of school, where teachers control students and students sit and take lessons, is boring for students and me. As a result, many students fall asleep or do other things like doing homework and drawing pictures. And then teachers in Japan usually get angry, so free schools are needed. My idea of a free school is no rules, no homework and no tests. In addition, both the outside and the inside are used as classrooms. In this way, students can be highly motivated. That's why the teachers who can motivate students and respect them are needed.

   However, I think this school has a problem with the parents. It is that the parents have been educated in the standard way I just mentioned, so their parents have a stereotype of the school. In addition, they prefer high grades and test scores to students' own pace. Many parents let the students go to cram school to get high scores in tests. It is difficult for them to change their values.

   To solve this problem, students need to explain what they want to their parents. In addition, there are more classes that not only sit and listen to teacher's lesson, but also do some activities, students should think and research something themselves. Actually, I did such a lesson in my third year of high school, but I tended to rely on teachers. It was a big challenge for me, but a good experience.

   Overall, if there are free schools, students could feel less stress and more comfortable. However, it is hard to replace regular schools with free schools, and some of students like regular schools. So I think not all schools need to change.

    It is difficult to change the old style of school in Japan. I think free school is hope for students.

    I agree with your ideas. When I was in high school, I slept through most of my classes. As a result, I don't remember what I leaned in my high school. I think we should learn more about things that should help us in the future.

    A free school is a good idea. To be regulated, students think classes are boring. Not to be restricted, students might be able to be motivated.

    When I was in high school, I used to fall asleep during the classes, so I can sympathize with you.

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
