Essay Title: Why Japanese education system should shift to individual learning and reconsider the effectiveness of homework. This essay will discuss why Japanese education should prioritize and value efficiency of study at school instead rather than the quantity of time spent doing meaningless homework. In Japan, homework is considered essential for school education. That is to say, homework at schools across Japan is expected to develop good study habits where students learn the value of working hard and achieving goals individually. The major challenge that this tendency toward homework is perceived as a social good in Japanese culture. The Japanese school system still values the quantity of time spent for studying rather than efficiency, the quality of outcomes that study produces. For example, in Japanese elementary schools, common homework is to read aloud from Japanese textbooks, practicing Chinese characters and math drills. In fact, finishing school homework is really dependent (ing) on parents ability to complete assignments when children are young between ages (7-14). Nowadays, it is more common for Japanese women to have to work and do not have free time available to complete their child homework. Japanese schools, parents and education system cannot imagine life withOUT busywork and automatically give out homework as an artifact to worn out educational customs that Japanese people unquestionably take for granted. Japanese parents never ask if homework is helpful to children or reconsider if homework is really efficient to develop children’s learning. As an English tutor, I have seen many Japanese students struggle with homework. Many children tend to stop thinking when they encounter unfamiliar new concepts and when students stop thinking, they stop learning and can waste valuable studying time. To avoid this, it is good idea to go through the concepts with students before assigning any homework. |
