Japanese and American Schools
The Japanese Example Comparing the schools of Japan and America can help solve the education problems and slowness. Japanese children start school earlier than ours, they go to school for longer hours and for a longer school year, and do much more homework. ... That’s probably why Japanese students are more intelligent in school than American, especially in math. ... But to really understand why Japanese children aren’t hurried, we need to look at the cultural side of Japan since it’s very different from ours. Japanese value harmony, reflexive obedience, conformity (behavior for social standards) self- sacrifice for the group. ... To understand why children can take the pressure from school we need to look at Japanese mother. ... The success of Japanese education is mostly because of mother, she always supports and encourages her kids. ... Children can learn a lot and develop fast, but it you hurry them as much as Japanese education does, they will not develop that fast after school.
