Are you the teacher? If so, お努めご苦労さまです。chiquiliquis said:A public Jr. H.S. teacher's take:
Yes, some prefectures still use relative socres on high school entrance exams, but I want to note that they are minority today (less than 20%) and they are special case during a transition period.chiquiliquis said:I have it on good authority that the relative scores are still used on high school entrance exams (at the very least, here in Yamanashi)--the scores vary from year to year (see mikecash's post).
That's true. Most of you may wonder why no placement by grades (or achievement ). The reason is that there have been a nuisance argument that placement by grades is a discrimination policy.chiquiliquis said:The problem, as I see it, is very broad. It pertains to more than just competition for H.S. entrance. Classes (pre H.S., at least) are extreeeeemely stratified in this country. Students are not PLACED into apropriate classes.
This may be rather superficial. Although I don't know your definition of 'busy', Japanese students are not busy, they just waste much of their time.chiquiliquis said:Japanese students are extremey busy.
In my opinion, people have lost sight of value of public educationchiquiliquis said:There is a displaced value for public education here.
I think that regarding children as stressful itself is the source of problems with education in Japan. Kids are simply spoiled. They are not trained well at home. Well trained kids usulally have no problem. The problem exist at home and it appear at school.chiquiliquis said:I believe this is the source of many problems concerning student stress.
