DISCIPLINE IN JAPAN
It`s even difficult for teachers to get the parents involved, because in Japanese
society, the onus is on the TEACHERS to raise the students correctly
If you think about how you hold yourself when you go for a job interview, you might start
to get an idea of Japanese culture.
a student wants to come into the teachers' office for some reason. She has to knock,
stand at the entrance, state methodically: 'Sorry for the intrusion', Name. Grade. Class.
Purpose of visit. Permission to enter? Await reply from a teacher. Enter. And greet and
bow any teacher you happen to pass on your way to the desk. Then apology and bow to
the room in general before leaving.
Any student who makes a mistake in this regimen is usually pulled up by a teacher &
made to do it again.
Japanese women were expected to stay home and focus all their time and energy
on preparing children for their exams.
Japanese education system after World War II was built around highly competitive
and rigorous high- school testing, which required enormous discipline and study.
Students can be targeted for failing to do well academically
