Japanese Students Clean Classrooms To Learn Life Skills

[@Artbug]

We should *really* do this in the US... but parents would throw a fit; *pissed* that their children were being forced into "slave labor" and that their child was "too good for this janitor work" and if their grades were slipping of course the first thing they'd blame is this silly "cleaning up" program that is clearly taking away from study time... The power that parents have over the school has gotten out of control -_-

[@lahoene6900]

Japan was able to accept the industrial revolution earliest in Asia. Because Japan boasted a high literacy rate for several hundred years. It was ahead of the European countries. Children were taught to read, write, and calculate in Japan. 150 years ago, Japanese were able to translate, publish and read Western civilization. Another tradition in Japan is "cleanliness". Cleaning up in front of the house every morning was to not cause discomfort to others. Japanese education has a tradition of "We beautifully cleanse our classroom to make our hearts beautiful".

Truly this is admirable . This how the Japanese schools and at home taught their children. It's not just about doing their part in housework but more importantly about growing up to be civic minded and not self-centred. This kind of education is even more important than getting good grades as it holds the country together when in crisis. During the last tsunami disaster which badly damaged the Fukushima nuclear plants, the Japanese people all obediently quietly queued up for food handout. You cannot see anyone shouting, fighting or even cry baby complaining. In contrast, during the Katrina hurricane disaster in US , there was widespread looting of supermarket and damaging of shops and fighting. That's why I never believed in this westernized idea "time have change". It's all about upbringing and instilling displines when young. Once adult, the one giving the displine will be very harsh and fatal....a stranger if meet the wrong person at work or outside. It can be a small misunderstanding turned into fatality. Newspapers also have reported these kind.

The problem is that cleaning up is treated as a punishment rather than something to embrace.

[@kokumamo]

After reading the comments from this video, I learned various things from other countries especially United States. Since I live in Asia, it is common to clean up your class after school and have everyone participate. We do have janitors but they mostly do the heavy work during cleaning time. I’m a bit surprised that American students don’t clean up their classes after school but I think it was because they don’t stay in one same class? (Please correct me if I’m wrong though. I’m unsure about this fact). In my country we also have some days dedicated to cleaning out the entire school. We clean the field, the garden, the cafeteria, etc. Especially when we have to prepare for cultural festivals or school anniversary. I wonder if there are similar cleaning events in American schools as well. I’m very curious.

[@martinebon4333]

Same when I was studying in the Philippines, if you were tasked to clean on a particular day, you stay after school and your groups cleans the whole classroom in preparation for the next day. You can clearly see those children who are spoilt by their parents not knowing the basics of cleaning.

[@SomethingSomethingg]

As an American I can vouch that no it isn't. It's interesting I'm also a janitor and people definitely look down on us. There's this mentality from some that it's a janitor's responsibility to clean so therefore they can just leave a huge mess. I have enough to do without also having to pick up plates and cups and crumbs off the table. But that's just the mentality. Working class citizens are second class citizens

I think most people who watch anime or read manga knew about this. Still, it really should be adopted by every country. I'm a lazy adult who only cleans when things get out of hand, and I mostly put it down to having things done for my in my early years. I never had to do chores until my teens, and by then my hormones were kicking in and I went though a rebellious phase, leaving me without the habits and life skills that these kids will gain. And no, I'm not blaming someone else for my laziness. I have the power to change it now, but old habits die hard. It's more about knowing how and when my habits formed.

At the very least it'll teach them organizational skills so they're less likely to misplace things in stacks of stuff.

[@serenesista]

+The Ramos Online I'm just like you when it comes to cleaning, except I didn't have things done for me. On the contrary, because I was born a girl I had to clean, cook, do laundry and then clean again after everyone is done eating. I don't hate to clean, I just love being lazy because I feel that I need to indulge myself.I love being lazy because to me it's self-care. But My house had teamwork and cleaning after ourselves I would be a different person today, probably more productive. Teamwork and picking up after yourself are two concepts that have no meaning in my culture. Women cook and clean.

[@brianchar-bow3273]

In Japan, during the period of compulsory public elementary school education (ages 6-12), children attend school and go to school under the guidance of the Board of Education of each local prefectural government, which determines the system of attending elementary schools under its jurisdiction independently for each region. In many cases, elementary school students in the neighborhood where they live form a group as ”a children's association”, and each year, a leader student is chosen and the children gather in groups under the leader to go to school alone. This is called the "group school attendance" system. In public schools, children from all neighborhoods, regardless of parental wealth, gather together and go to school alone. Each children's association has its own fixed route to school. Therefore, there is no need for parents to drive their children to and from school. The PTA organization, consisting mainly of parents from the community, takes turns assisting the children to school at designated areas, such as busy and dangerous intersections, with volunteers including mothers of children in the children's association and retired elderly people from the community. (They carry yellow flags for traffic safety and assist with traffic signals, etc.) There are two advantages to this system: One is that the children's parents can commute to their own jobs in the morning, saving time from having to attend to the children's transportation to and from school every day. The second benefit is that children do not have to depend on their parents to go to school, and instead, they are able to foster a sense of independence and self-reliance by going to school together. This is a great opportunity for children to experience and learn about social activities. This is possible because all parents and adults share the awareness that "all children are the treasure of society" and that "helping children grow is an important factor in improving society in the future. It can be done because all adults (not just their own children) share the awareness that "helping all children in the community in which they reside grow up is an important factor for the betterment of their own country and society," and because they believe it is important to "support and help each other to grow up, not just their own children, but all children in all communities." They also believe that by allowing children to go to school alone, this activity will help them to lose their habit of relying on adults, to look after their environment and protect themselves by themselves, and to grow in the spirit of self-responsibility and self-reliance. Taking turns in preparing, serving, and cleaning up lunch for the school lunch duty, and having the children clean up their own classrooms before going home are also part of the social learning experience that helps them learn the significance of voluntarily keeping the environment clean through their own experiences. All of this is part of the idea that in order for each child to grow into an independent adult, school is not only about learning, but also about learning about society through their own experiences during their daily school life. They learn the necessity of these basic daily behaviors through real-life experiences and develop habits in their children. While it is very difficult to change one's behavior as an adult, it is easy to acquire them as a child, and once acquired, life thereafter becomes easier and smoother. These Japanese-style education teaches children wisdom and basic behavioral habits at school that will help them survive in social life when they become adults. Of course, the reason why this concept has been taught in Japan since ancient times as a form of discipline education for children, and has continued to the present day, is because it is a necessity that everyone living in Japan must learn in order to survive in the unique natural environment of Japan, a warm and humid island nation surrounded by the sea, which is geopolitically very different from life on the continent.

+Luō ēn dasnewtron In the US, we have to tidy up at times, especially when the teacher tells us to clean up our mess or help organize the class.

+Luō ēn dasnewtron But I think they do ALL the cleaning. Here in Australia in primary school especially the younger grades you cleaned the classroom at the end of the day like this but not as extenive and there are cleaners that clean the rest of the school and also to vaccuum the classroom ect
