Differences of Campus Life between China and Japan

A group of middle school students from Shenzhen went to Kyushu, Japan for a friendly exchange with Chiyoda Middle School in Saga, Japan. During the activity, the teachers and principals led by Shenzhen gave birth to many feelings: the hardware of Shenzhen school can be comparable to that of Japanese campus, but our children have many differences in hard training and behavior habits.

What is the difference? You might as well choose to sum it up. Why is there such a big difference between China children and Japanese children?

The first is the difference in dress. When the students from Shenzhen arrived in Japan, Japan was experiencing a rare snowstorm and was covered with snow all the way. On the day they arrived at Chiyoda Middle School, it was raining in Mao Mao and the temperature was below 6℃. Teachers and students in Shenzhen were shivering with cold, but when they arrived at the school gate by bus, they saw Japanese students in neat school uniforms. Especially to everyone's surprise, in this cold rain, the teachers and students of Chiyoda Middle School didn't take an umbrella. All the girls in school uniforms wear short skirts, and no one wears a hat. Teachers in Shenzhen can't help feeling U: No school in Shenzhen has encountered such embarrassment-it is difficult to meet the requirement that all students wear formal clothes when the national flag is raised on Monday. When the weather changes slightly, many parents will ask to dress their children in case they catch a cold. At first, some schools refused to accept it, and parents complained to the education department. In desperation, the school had to give in.

The second is the difference in attitude towards the hot and cold weather. Japanese schools don't use air conditioning in winter and summer. In winter, students are shivering with cold. In summer, students must wear uniform uniforms, and they can't increase or decrease at will. They don't lack electricity, just don't use it for children. Why? China's old adage, "Hunger and cold will always bring", has always been adhered to by the Japanese. They have trained their children to keep out the cold since childhood, and the physical quality of the Japanese has been greatly improved in the past half century. But parents in Shenzhen are afraid that their children will be frozen and hungry. This time, they only stayed in Japan for four nights. In fact, many parents spend a lot of money to make overseas phone calls, urging them not to let their children freeze and starve.

Third, differences in handling security issues. There are also "hidden dangers" in Japanese schools, which attach great importance to the safety of students. Before each manual class, they will reiterate safety precautions and even take pains to demonstrate to students, but they will not cancel and ban students' activities for fear of safety problems. Only when there are two situations will parents find trouble with the school. First, the school didn't tell children how to pay attention to safety. Second, the school didn't buy insurance for students. If you do both, the child will still be injured, and parents will not blame the school, but will only take their children to the hospital.

Teachers in Shenzhen saw in a school in Japan that students' manual classes were all saws, knives, lathes and other objects. The first reaction is: What if students cut their hands? It is unimaginable that these dangerous actions appear in our campus. Frequent lawsuits and huge compensation caused by accidental injuries on campus have made many educators overly sensitive to safety issues. For the safety of students, some schools stopped social practice courses and sports facilities during non-physical education class time, which made some students unable to carry out normal activities. In contrast, teachers can't help feeling u: too sensitive, because of choking. What kind of students can be trained in the long run?

Finally, the difference between planning and acting. Japan's student activity plan is accurate to the minute, and many students in Shenzhen don't get up on time.

One of the important activities of this visit to Chiyoda Middle School is that students from both sides get together in the school auditorium. The Japanese side has made very careful preparations. Whether it is a speech or a program performance, the activity time is accurate to minutes, and the whole friendship is not bad every minute. It can be seen that Japanese students are particularly adaptable to this. As long as the timetable is published, they can strictly follow the plan.
