What juku for my son

cloa513 · 14 Apr 2025

My wife is finally open to sending him to a Juku but which one? I would prefer to send to one that his friends go if that was possible. He won't say and my wife is a not close with other parents and cancelled PTA. She works. He needs revision for Year 2 and 3. He couldn't do the last complete the list of kanji at all. My wife write it and he traced it. He did quite well in some supplemental exercises after that but he can only remember a few kanji. Of course we also want him to be able to Year 4 as it come along. Maths has some issues like treating subtraction as addition or putting the numbers in the wrong order in subtraction or division but he is mostly fine with anything not too onerous like multidigit maths.

He is bad at second grade and third grade kanji and some issues with maths. Of course what to keep get fourth grade kanji right too.

Current teacher is new to him. and the his previous year's teacher quit teaching. That teacher was chaotic such as setting the same homework twice and then forgetting about it at all. My son can smile while being scolded.

Even if the teacher is new to him, if the teacher isn't new to the area they may know the reputation of the local jukus and be able to give you some recommendations.

I'll see if she can ask tomorrow when they an obligatory teacher-parent ,meeting- she is too busy to see the teacher for any other occasion or opportunity.

How do you know that? and that he know jukus in our area- we lived in Saitama City together for twenty years. A teacher is liable to influenced by all the education companies that flow through school- absurd numbers are allowed (saw it as an ALT) rather than know what company has actual inspirational competent teachers who can efficiently revise rather than nice grinders- that would work for some children. He knows some from previous years showing by new textbook revision exercise- not as bad as I initially thought last year but it is patchy and very unclear if he know how to write useful words- he refuses to express himself in writing or write fiction in good Japanese. He just writes words in English. .His mother just said it doesn't matter that he doesn't know sufficient written Japanese as all children pass school. We would like him to have the option (the entry is competitive with tests) go the specialty English combined junior senior government high school in Saitama.

I don't know that and didn't say I did. I said the teacher may have some tips for you. I asked AI how to find a good cram school. I asked in Japanese thinking it might have more info at its disposal. I think it's good advice. Copy to Deepl to translate.

It's common sense. Ask around, look at ratings for the local schools, talk to people, visit the schools.

How do I know they are being honest?

As the saying goes, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

My threshold would be that he likes the place (i.e, goes on his own, without needing to urge him to go), then after that that he's improving a little.

cloa513 · 21 Apr 2025

He just failed his first test- didn't get one mark. He couldn't even write 車。He wrote おおどりがまじる曲 which was the right answer but scribbled on it but didn't get the other half of the answer.

You said your partner finally agreed to put him in a juku. She won't help choose one?
If not then maybe just go by location, price and online ratings/comments. And maybe how well you can communicate with them yourself.

What juku for my son
