Not so
in Japan. Here it seems to be the teachers fault if the child is
unruly. Teachers are responsible for the children. I was shocked at
the festivals we had in my town, as the teachers have to act as
chaperones to control and make sure the pupils behave, even though
they are on weekends and evenings, its their responsibility. Where
are the parents? The problem, I think, that also stems from this is
the parents are also medalling. Maybe so in the UK, but the teachers
seem very cautious about disciplining the students as if little
Johnny goes home and tells his parents and that parent isn't happy,
they will levy the PTA to get this teacher removed! I am shocked
about how much students get away with in school; getting physical
with teachers, talking back, reading books or manga in class and the
worst for me, sleeping in class! Why aren't the parents sending
these tired kids to bed at night?
So the
parents expect the teachers to control their students, but they don't
want them to discipline them! Anybody spot whats wrong with this
picture?
