    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 t...

Traditional classes are conducted with students sit facing forward. There are teachers each class, and students listen to follow the tutor’s instructions carefully. They provide questions and students answer these questions within designated time. My classes were also this style of curriculum when I was a primary school student. I do not think it is wrong for students to learn with these methods. However, I’m sure another way of teaching can be more efficient and enjoyable. Motto of my ideal school is “process and subjective”.   First, I believe children should learn process. It is key point of growing up. For example, if one child’s exam result is not so good, people focus on the outcome, but the most important thing is why was the child got the answers wrong. If the child review them, the result will improve automatically. other examples are learning how to grow the plants, how to circulate the numbers. By analysing and helping each other themselves, they can memorize deeply an...

  I'd like to think about what kind of classroom and teaching works best for students. I think some students have thought about a learning environment in the school before. There are a lot of way of learning subject. For example, studying in a library, studying oneself or together to taught by someone, and so on. Commonly, most schools have a way of teaching from some teachers.  In my experience, when I started studying in my college , I was surprised because I took a class for 90 minutes that is longer time than a class time in high school. My friends often said it's so long to take a only class. I agree with them because I can't concentrate studying for a long, and I feel bored even take a subject that I want to study.  I think it is important to include something fun in the classroom. So, I considered about what I could do to make it fun and improve grades for students. Firstly, the education in some developed country to trying to introduce a virtual. It's a good ide...

                     There are many types of schools in the world, such as traditional schools, magnet schools, Waldorf schools, special education schools, homeschools and so on. Which school is better? Each kind of school has advantages and disadvantages. In any event, it ’ s the most important thing for a good school to   meet the needs of the students.   My ideal school is a combination of tradition and modernity. Firstly, there would be diverse courses for students to choose from. The required courses would be much less than the optional ones. In addition, the school would attach great importance to traditional minor subjects such as sports, music and art, which would affect the long-term development of students. Secondly, the teaching methods would be interesting and enlightening. Traditional cramming teaching can be improved by adding student practice, group discussions, case analyses and flexible use of modern techn...

  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 opp ortunities to think about the mechanism what they we...

    I have taken Japanese compulsory educations throughout my teenagers. I have a question about our school education in terms of English classes, so this essay will say what I’ve noticed, and my ideal towards Japanese education. First, my ideal school is a school that has English classes where students focus on speaking part. The reason being, even though Japanese people study English in their class for several years, they cannot speak English because they often get distracted by the technical details of grammar and vocabulary, which are boring and tedious. Students will not be able to speak English unless they try to and want to learn. However, if there were speaking classes with a native speaker, the students would be more excited to learn English whether they are small group class or pair work than learning from a textbook or listening to what the teacher says all the time, so that way students could think of English as an enjoyable thing instead of a “study”. Therefore,...

                  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...
