Disadvantages Of Japanese Education

Japanese people regard schooling as one of the most important aspects of the growth and development of a child and therefore their entire school system is more competitive and higher achieving. Before beginning this task most of my knowledge on Japanese schools was based upon small pieces of information provided from class activities, previous teachers, or stereotypes.

The USA has one of the best educational systems in the world. The United States is ninth in average IQ score in the world. The average

Women and those of lower classes in Japan would not get the opportunity to learn thus not helping out its country to the fullest potential. Americans also were taught more science and technology which created new findings in agriculture, transportation, and markets.

Japanese education is very influential to the youth of Japan. It can affect students future and plays a big role in society today. Some people believe that students in Japan are better educated than the students in United States. While some people think this is not true, there are many strong reasons that prove this is accurate.

In an intelligence-based economy, education is important to national prosperity and individual success. Huge achievement gaps and opportunities must shrink to non-existence, and every student must receive a well education that prepares them for college and careers in the world as it is today. Comparing the United States education system to other countries shows that the United States scored lower than nineteen other counties and education systems in reading in the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment. Germany and Poland in particular are two countries that have now surpassed the United States. During the same study, scores showed that twenty-nine nations outperformed the United States by a large amount in mathematics, and in science, there have been twenty-two education systems that scored higher than the United States (Heitin).

During the pre-war education period, the curriculums showed how nationalistic one country's schools could become. In addition, the fact that during the pre-war period elementary school (grades 1-6) was the only compulsory and free schooling in Japan. This shows that at the time school was not there for the purpose of enlightenment, but for creating machines. The curriculum for elementary school consisted of citizenship (morals, Japanese language, Japanese history and geography), science (science and arithmetic), physical training (physical education and the martial sports of Judo and Kendo) and the arts (drawing, calligraphy and handicrafts). During the higher levels of elementary school, domestic science was added for girls.

Japans history dates back almost 53,000 years and is filled with interesting and fascinating events. Most of Japans actions have left the major world powers in the world stunned. The base of this amazing country is astonishing just by itself. The base is a bunch of active and large under water volcanoes. Japans uniqueness from the rest of the world ranges from its culture to its very interesting history to the change in government every few hundred years and their trading dilemma with petroleum and their assortment of fish that they export. Japan as a country is so very appealing and kind compared to the rest of the world its no wonder that it’s geographically separate from the rest of the world.

Naoki Ogi, a Professor Hosei University and an expert on Japan’s education system argue that standardized testing should be formally put an end as it depends solely on the score to firmly decide what school should be attended (Lewis, 2015). National exam is important for creating standardization, but in terms of education purpose, the standardized exam is not a solution to create a comparison. The knowledge together with the skill should not be evaluated by merely scores in one attempt. When performing the test, both students and teachers will feel the stress which may lead to death, as in the case in Indonesia. A state of having pressure and tension exerted also may lead to creating dishonest behavior, which caused by people involved in the education system. Moreover, the process of creating a national exam together with the prevention of cheating during the exam evidently costs a lot of money. Therefore, standardized testing in the national landscape should not be applied. Parents and those with highly educated level, such as teacher and educators should be aware that there are some students who are more interested in the particular field. In fact, they might feel that during the exam process, a coercion is used. The government, in this case, should have implemented a long-term study of student grow instead of creating the national exam system. The education system should instill knowledge and hone skill without worrying that the standardized testing might create an unfair grouping, whether they are coming from “better school” nor “middle-ranked school”. With long-term study, there is no additional budget needed for each individual student which can be more appreciated within the area of the school

Prior to World War Two Japan had been going through an economic crisis and was having issues with its government. The Japanese society was very militaristic and prideful making it a key power in world affairs. Their people have a strong and deep seated loyalty to their country.

Within recent times, many western- style appliances and such can be found in Japanese homes.16 The Japanese schools, based on America's, teach the same things in grade school as American schools.17 Many of the students are learning in these schools to take English language courses to help them as they get older.18 Sports today, are shaped similar to America's. Japan has carried over many sports from America including frisbees, jogging, skateboarding19, and baseball.20 Baseball is among

I think being Japanese made it easier to come to the US. I am working at Intensive English Program office as a Bilingual Office Assistant now, and I have seen that almost all Japanese students get student Visas, but people from certain countries seem to have a hard time to get the US Visa. I haven’t thought the benefit and disadvantage of However, I have had some uncomfortable experiences since I came to Hawaii. For instance, when I was sharing a house with Americans, they made fun of me being Japanese. I actually cannot speak English well yet, but I could understand what they were saying and laughing about. I guess, the most of the time, people in Hawaii is more friendly, but I have heard the mainland is different. My friend who was studying

     You would think that America being number one in almost everything; education would be at the top of that list. Well compared to other countries in the world it really sucks. The Asian educational system is among the top in the world. They are the leaders in math and sciences. Do you

The educational system differs throughout the world; its viewed and taught differently because of cultural differences. Many cultures view education as a necessity of life therefore family are strict and get more involved in there child’s education. Around the world, education is given to students to prepare them for their future. The American education is considered one of the strongest systems of education therefore many countries the American system. The American education system contains many differences and similarities to the foreign system of education; however, students in the American system are not as successful as those in foreign countries like Japan.

They not only enrich their knowledge and abilities, but also communicate with their peers and teachers. So they can also develop their character.

Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, is an island in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Tokyo and the national language is Japanese. Japan is considered a great power and is a member of both the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
