SUMMARY:
- “Nameless paints” includes ten tubes that don’t have color names such as “yellow,” “blue,” or “green.” Instead, there are only spots of a particular color or colors on each tube. As you can see, the spots are also different sizes.
- In Japanese schools, students don’t take any exams until they reach grade four (the age of 10). The goal for the first three years of school is not to judge the child’s knowledge, but to establish good manners and to develop their character.
- While most schools in the world begin their academic year in September or October, in Japan, it is April that marks the start of the academic and business calendar. The first day of school often coincides with one of the most beautiful natural phenomena — the time of cherry blossom.
- In Japanese schools, students have to clean the classrooms, cafeterias, and even toilets all by themselves. Most Japanese schools do not employ janitors or custodians.
- All classmates eat in their classroom together with the teacher. This helps build positive teacher-student relationships.
- To get into a good junior high school, most Japanese students enter a preparatory school or attend private after-school workshops.
- Japanese calligraphy, or Shodo, involves dipping a bamboo brush in ink and using it to write hieroglyphs on rice paper.
- While some schools have their attire, traditional Japanese school uniform consists of a military style for boys and a sailor outfit for girls.
- At the end of high school, Japanese students have to take an exam that determines their future. A student can choose one college they would like to go to, and that college has a particular score requirement.
- Having gone through ‘examination hell,’ Japanese students usually take a little break. In this country, college is often considered the best years of a person’s life. Sometimes, Japanese people call this period a ‘vacation’ before work.

    I was born in Japan Completed my study in korea Now i am doing job in Thailand. ..Isn't it amazing....
  • The key to all these statistics lies on the idea of 'Manners before knowledge'. When I was in college, I had a subject in Psychology. There, I learned that your attitude and character were built from the age of 0-9 years old. Now, Japanese applied this and took time to nurture discipline as it is the very foundation to excellence. Hats off!
  • There are only two things missing in Indian Education System....EDUCATION and SYSTEM

    I am 60 years old, I was born in the United States. The best education system starts before the children leave their homes. It's called parents. Parents who are a team and help their children adapt to the world and have values are the key to every society. I worked for 32 years in major corporations, then 5 years in my own consulting business, and for the past 3 years I am teaching. I first thought the key to any school was the quality of the teachers. Now I think this comes second after the quality of the students. Recently, my high school students complained about teachers not being focused and doing their job properly. I told them, great students can easily get rid of poor teachers. I so wish I had motivated students who were ready to learn everyday. Instead, the vast majority of students come to my school to learn what will be on the tests and get grades. I get in trouble with parents and students because I bring in topics that are current and cutting edge. Having worked as a sales director, manager, financial analyst, operations manager, accountant, and competitor analyst, I bring real world case studies to my students. I help them see the connections between the course work and how to create something new and exciting. It's hard work. I think the video shows us one approach. I commend the Japanese for helping their students become proficient in so many ways. I really like the ideas of the students cleaning the school, control of school meals, and respect for everyone in the school. I am ashamed when I think about how bad schools have become in the United States. We once had a good system even in the central cities. I am a product of public schools in Newark, New Jersey. I learned how to compete with the best of them, and so did my classmates. Even the bullies of my day were educated well. But new times, need new strategies and a vision. After more than 50 years of neglect it looks like Newark is making a turnaround. Sadly, it will likely not include the people who suffered from the disinvestment in public schools and the investment in youth incarceration. Schools are no substitute for parents, that is a problem a school can not solve. Schools can not solve the problem of poor leadership and the lack of vision. I thank President Eisenhower for having a vision and making the country move forward when I was a child. He started the idealism that drove the United States forward. Kennedy tried to keep it going. We know how that ended. Now, parents and teachers need to push aside the poor leaders and figure out how they want society to be in the future. We can't wait for a president, governor, or mayor to lead us, we have to start working on future leaders. It's a lot easier that we might think. Our parents did it, why can't we do it now?
