I am a 47 year old Japanese. This education is the same as 40 years ago. The only change was that the milk container was a bottle. p.s. My mother said it was the same 70 years ago.
Wow... I come from South-east Asia and the system is completely different. We bring our own food from home and we get a lot of homework. That's great! I wish other countries will adopt this Japanese system as well!
I live in iraq and we don't serve food in schools... Some of us don't even have proper schools to go to. We don't have proper roads or hospitals or anything that's well-done. I salute you japanese people for your high ethics and getting the job clean-done
it seems like you haven’t been to school in a while, and let me just say that kids would much rather eat20 cookies for lunch and have fun in their childhood, than this.
What are they learning in a day? - sanitary - gratitude - discipline - self service - statistical - knowledge - Recycling - Team work - using Checklist
Well be sure to take it with a grain of salt, remember right now japan is facing a decline due to a lack of repopulation and people becoming hikikomori. It's easy to romanticize and I'm in no way discrediting the value of allowing children to take responsibilities and learning social skills, but there are serious problems that rear their ugly heads.
As a student of both America and Japan, I'd rather be playing with my milk and throwing half my lunch away, then cleaning the floors as if I failed in life... But I guess I learned gratitude. I don't know how I would have behaved if it was just America.
Yes! American children are too spoiled and ungrateful for things that they take for granted in life. Responsibility for your own well being and community are traits missing in American society.
@@popn6189 1. You'd rather throw food away while there are starving people, from children to elderly, all around the globe? Seriously? 2. Cleaning does not mean you failed in life in any way, shape or form. Cleaning at home should be split between family members, and cleaning as a job is just as respectable as any office job out there. You clearly failed in life already by having this shitty mentality and spewing all this snobby, uptight bullshit.
@@WildVee Sorry. The school refuses to give food to the poor, especially to people around the world(cuz its too far probably). I even wrote a whole essay on it to the district lunch person who's in charge of the district lunches. I haven't got a reply. The food that people don't take will be thrown away anyway, and my school is probably the least of our problems. Companies like Mcdonalds, Burger King, etc. should also change their habits of throwing away food. They throw A LOT. just search it up. As for the cleaning, I always did my job, it was just immensely demoralizing and depressing to see kids say "I'm working hard now so that I don't have to work hard when I grow up" and you know they will get really bad jobs and overwork and probably kill themselves. Also, the world doesn't see "cleaning" as a respectable job in pure eyes like yours. I really hope for change and I didn't mean what I said in the way you interpreted it. I just wanted to say Japan isn't as heavenly as people think. It has its fair share of evil.
@@daisyingrid618 the state doesnt have much to say what you do in your private life, most negatives just boil down to unhealthy tradions like not leaving bf your boss does, but those are getting more and more abandonded by younger generations which
Tee D In life you’re going to have to clean regardless so I think asian classrooms are better at teaching actual life lessons rather than in America where they teach you useless topics that you’ll never use in your life after college unless you get a career that majors in that topic. America doesn’t teach us to prepare our own lunches and have responsibilities but teaches kids that they can do whatever they want in life and grow up lazy and sleep deprived. I’d rather be helping clean a classroom and eating together in a class with classmates without cellphones and technology. America isn’t that great and doesn’t really help raise kids into intelligent adults, american classrooms actually make kids fear for their lives, suffer from mental issues, and bullying is an issue that is never taken care of properly (i’m not saying that it’s not the same for asia) but america lacks the proper education system.
Damsie 😂In China we don’t use “ Thank you” and “goodbye”. We say no words just see teacher walk out of the classroom😱😱😱I always think Chinese education is the worst in the world.
Free Scotland I’ve never been to a us school I live In England but I wish they were like this everyone has manners here whereas in England very few students have manners
Is this a public school (govt funded from taxes), charter (public grants and family pay), or private (family pay)? I would guess charter. It gives school admin more autonomy to make better choices, than a beaurocratic monopoly (public school).
Something to emulate worldwide. Kids learn discipline, manners, gratefulness, and responsibility. Among the most important attributes for life and that gets ingrained in them at a young age.
It’s nostalgia. I’m Japanese too, I live in France, and I went to a Japanese school near Nagoya for one week when I visited my grandmother. I was like 8 back then. Now I’m going to be 15 and I ended up forgetting how to write in Japanese, unfortunately.
You are so lucky..🙂 .Hope other countries will adopt these good practise in their schools including mine. Thank you for setting an example to follow.😇😇
Thank you for showing us this. It is very sweet and I enjoyed watching how well organized they help the children to be. It makes my heart melt when they thank the teacher for teaching them, even if it's part of a discipline. Also when the teacher or assistant tells the kids where the food was grown and who grew it, it adds a sense of gratitude, something very important for children to learn before they become adults
At elementary school, we Japanese learn not only cooking and cleaning, but also techniques for daily life such as sewing, cooking, and home economics. They haven't changed much since 50 years when I was in elementary school. I think it is interesting that the school lunch and equipment systems in Japanese elementary schools have not changed at all from 50 years ago. I loved the school lunch and I enjoyed school on every things with my friends. It is also good that everyone eats the same lunch, so there is no difference between rich and poor, and they are equal. The smiles of all the children show that.
I'm jealous. Why can't the American School System adopt that. The school system is freaking horrible here. Students die (ahem because if them) and they don't care.
Yeah here in japan we have a class from grade 5 and up called kateika witch is sticking and cooking, and a butch more thing you would use in daily life
Take note that students in Japan, in their first 3 years in school, they have no exams or tests. It's all about discipline, social, hygiene and health lessons.
+- ̗̀ Buizel TV ̖́- pfff that will only help you with the most important things in life. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Bring on the tests and zero lack of how to survive in the world and society. The lack of obesity is also astounding, they must be doing something wrong.
+heniadir My daughter never had tests. They were more like quick quizzes that could be corrected after the fact. It was more about learning than testing.
Would never work. Most certainly a parent would complain about how their kid shouldn't have to do a serving job when at a place of academics. Or a kid will have AuTiSm and his mommy will say only eats chicken nuggets and French fries and this kind of healthy food excludes him and is discrimination.
It can't be done for many reasons, one of them is many will clutch their pearls while screaming "socialism", "marxism", " comunism", "indoctrination", etc.
I hardly ever comment but this looks like a dream... The kids are actually happy and enjoying being at school!! They look like the most sofisticated humans ever!
Yeah. I heard the higher up school system is depressing. Japan does have the highest suicide rate of all nations. A two sided coin -EDIT: I was wrong in my late night comment, although depression is an enormous problem there. While it does have a relatively high suicide rate, it is not the highest as I falsy claimed.
@@jonathanz.9675 You heard wrong. It's their working culture that's tiresome and depressing. Most teenagers in colleges or higher studies work 2-3 jobs unlike you who likes punching holes in every superior cultural lifestyle like yours doesn't have any loopholes. Go visit or researh more about Japan but making assumptions based on what you heard is purely arrogant and ignorant.
@Leon Thomas @Jonathan Brewer @TheLastJuiceBlender Japan USED to have one of the highest suicide rates in the world, along with mainland China, but I believe that was in the 1980's and earlier. According to WHO, in 2016, Japan's suicide rate for both sexes was 14.3 (per 100,000). The US's was 13.7. each placed as 30th and 34th highest respectively according to the Wiki.
@@sapesape6637 the point here is to start it and make them understand the importance of all this for them to start implementing and following it. These are basic life habits that should be cultivated by adults in the kids regardless of whether they continue to follow them in their adulthood.
+bob hope That is not true. When children aresmall they understand very little of what adults do - they are taught to say please and thank you long before they understand what the word "respect" really means. When they grow older they will develop their own way of understanding politeness and use their interpretation of what is useful. You have to teach them! My boys did not want to give up their seats in a bus for example if someone elderly or otherwise impaired needed it when they were very little. I made them and explained again and again why it is important to help others and why other people needed to sit instead of them. Now, years later, they do it without me having to say a word, because they understand it and have developed empathy. Children are egoists by nature and have to be taught the meaning and importance of social structures. Those whose parents let them do what they want and teach them, that they´re the centre of the universe - let´s say they don´t turn out so great usually. Structure, rules, empathy and, of course, love - a child needs all of these.
+5thElemnt They have programs in japan to teach kids about where their food comes from. I think starting at a young age when you teach children to be grateful, do their part, and learn the world beyond what they can see, you end up with productive and well rounded adults.
Rinsuki I did not know that. That is such a good thing. All I know is the diet is excellent, healthy, and delicious. When I visit, my aunty always cooks whole fresh foods and she almost shops daily for it too. My Japanese side/mother are children of farmers so I really have experienced where food comes from. They grew a lot of there own foods and even fresh eggs from chicken. My mom said they even had a cow when she was growing up for fresh milk. :)
Actually this is a real school ..where students learn ..how to work like a farmer..how to eat...this is not just about the study ...this is all about how to live our life..good job Japan
We are a school in Ontario, Canada and are amazed at the kindness, discipline and respect the Japanese have for their school and teachers. We could learn a lot from your culture :) Thanks for sharing!
Japanese children: dissembles and rinses their milk cartons for recycling American children: purposely buys 3 milks to pour in the tray to make the ultimate soup
I grow up in Japanese public school like this. One day I was carrying a big boxful of chicken cutlet to the classroom....but tripped over and dropped entire box! Chicken was all over on the ground. No one blamed me but I almost cried as it was one of the children's favourite meals. ...Little later as our class started the lunch without main, the class next door sent us half cut chicken cutlets for our entire class !!! 😭I still remember the kindness those children showed others...and still gives me hope for human.
@@tobiasarevalo9929 Japanese high school students also eat lunch together in the classroom. Maybe there are more cases in the classroom than cafeteria. Sometimes in the garden too.
We need this in the USA! Notice how happy the kids are too - they are involved, included, seen, taught politeness and work ethic and fairness and responsibility.
This should be applied to every school in the world. Academics is important but equally important is disciple and cleanliness. Now we know why Japan is way ahead of rest of the world. Simply brilliant!!

Pretty much the coolest in da hood First of all just because they are behaved wel does not mean that have been hit. da fuq . they just seem like children who have been taught manners
No wonder Japan stands out better and proud every time an unfortunate natural disaster happens. These kids know their jobs and responsibilities. Respect from India 🙏
Mannat Malhotra If you are an Indian you should know that even Indian students stand & say thank you teacher after each class before teacher leaves & when teacher enters the class they stand & wish good morning or good after noon, so don’t make India as backward or disrespectful,the only country I see with no respect for any elder,teacher or parent is America.,they don’t even say hi or good morning to teachers here it’s opposite teachers wish kids.
I have watched it numerous times as a Japan enthusiast before travelling there and I am still using it in my lessons as a teacher. Thank you so much for the informative and fun content.
I am Japanese. It's normal for us,so I’m glad that people from overseas appreciate it in this way. Also,Japanese lunch is really delicious！ Sorry for my poor English.
We have Japanese as a compulsory language subject up until Year 9 in most schools in Melbourne, Australia. We also have to stand up and greet the teacher before we start the class, and afterwards stand up and thank the teacher for teaching. Though, we've never had to clean the hallways or anything and we don't have meals at school as a class. I normally skip both recess and lunch because I'm not hungry.
i'm not japanese but we had to greet and thank our teachers before and after classes too up until high school. Though most kids don't really mean it since we were all just parroting what had been taught to us as kids and they were the rules. Idk if that's how japanese kids think too, i might just be cynical :P
@@zs2302 China and Japan are very different countries, with very different rules. Don't assume it's the same (even if it very well might be). It's nice to suspect, but it's better to seek proofs
It's easy when they all look alike, the true test is whether it's still possible, when they're not all of the same race & looks... Honor is easy too display when it's not tested... Honor under pressure is where our true natures comes out.
First, sorry for my english. Yes, it's very possible. Sorry but racism is the exact opposite Japanese's pilosophy teach us. I'm italian elementary school theacher in a very hight immigrations city and kids are all great, no matter what their origin is. Every student can be polite like Japanese are. The organitations and adults are the problem, not children.
Looks like they teach the kids to work as a family rather than against one another. In the U.S. it's a constant battle, quiz after quiz, test after test, no talking, no working together, if you fail you are shamed.
This is actually a school and not a competition factory that we see nowadays. They are educating the kids on basics, team work and hence building a nation
but also they have hive mentality and if someone highlights a little bit is really fucked... Also, you realize the big problems that nowadays exist in Japan because of the education (at school and as society)?
I am watching this video from India and I like this way of Japan very much that the people there give more care about the cleanliness of their surroundings. Love 💕 Japan from India🇮🇳❤️🇯🇵🙏
Well, not all Asian people are terrible. It is just the environment that they were exposed to. The kids in this video were taught teamwork and proper communication skills. The people you are talking about most likely weren't taught discipline as much as you did. Don't blame the whole race if you only got exposed to a group of people.

I work in a Japanese elementary school and everything is accurate!!! I love how they teach kids to be polite, to be disciplined and to have a proper hygiene before and after meals. The fact that this was before COVID proves how Japanese people really care about cleanliness! Kudos to Japan 🇯🇵
@@NagaVigneshN I would say it is all schools in Japan. Cleaning is a daily chore they have to do. They also spend long hours at school too. I am not sure if the hours apply to the younger children though.
@@bobby666666 Oh then this is really awesome. I know Japanese people hold discipline very highly. This schooling system is great. I would have never got tired of it. I am from India and my school didn't even have any events or celebrations and let alone a ground. So this is like 10x times better for me
It is really interesting to learn that many non-Japanese people do not know the distinction between child labor and discipline. Serving lunch, cleaning the classroom, keeping the whole school tidy are part of education in Japan. Those customs contribute to realizing the clean and sanitized environment in Japan.
That’s true. Born and raised in Japan. Because it would be you who have to clean up if you make a mess in a classroom, you learn to respect your area and keep it clean. We adopt that mentality as young children.
It also is important for learning how to work together and take collective responsibility for your environment. However, there can be problems with things that fall outside of clearly defined zones of responsibility, and that is where you find some problems.
And a lot of honest people. Also very polite. You leave stuff anywhere and u wont lose it for days. U encounter catastrophe and people wont loot, they stay in line waiting for handouts. Here... u know it
Amazed at how grateful children are and so respectful..educations important, but so is learning to keep your space clean and tidy. Taking responsibility.. the west has so much to learn from Japan.
so much to learn about repetitive programing and questionable hygiene regulations. wear a mask while preparing the food, but brush your your teeth together at the same table you just ate at? such a thing is not for American kids. this is still a Free country.

@@thedestroyer9611 You know, I made this comment before I started watching a bunch of videos on ths Japanese school system. Then I saw an American English teacher talk about the downsides and I completely see your point. I appreciate the sense of community and responsibility Japanese culture teaches. But you're right, the work culture is incredibly toxic. Kids go to school too much and stress themselves out. People literally work themselves to death.
@KB force I'm so sorry you were made to feel that way! I also read that some teachers are physically abusive to their students. Is that true? Because that is just awful. I also found out that you guys go to school six days a week and some students even go to tutoring on their days off and during breaks because there is so much pressure to make good grades. Then there's all the clubs you have to join and practice. That's just too much. Kids need time to play and pursue their own interests. I think the perfect school system would be a hybrid of American, Japanese, and German schools. I like that Japanese schools have students serve each other lunch. I also appreciate that the schools serve local food and food the students have grown themselves. I think it teaches kids proper hygiene, respect for the people who prepare the food, and how to cooperate. I also think Japan does a better job at educating people on proper nutrition and I think Japanese people have a greater respect for food and where it comes from. To some degree, in think it's good that Japan has a greater emphasis on the good of the community and less focus on the individual. However, I think there should be a better balance between respecting the needs of those around you and being you're own person with wants and desires. I think America puts too much focus on individualism and it's resulted in a lot of selfish people who don't care about the good of those around them. Americans spend less time in schools than the Japanese, but I still feel like it's too much! I think school days should only be about six hours long, but a lot of Americans depend on the school system as free childcare. I like that German schools are more tailored to the students talents and skillsets. The exact same curriculum is taught to everyone in the U.S. and I think it ends up hurting a lot of people. If you excel in math and science and enjoy it, why not give that student the opportunity to be taught things that will help them in their future career path at an earlier age. If you hate math and science and aren't very good at it, why continue to force someone to learn algebra if they're never going to use those skills as an adult? I don't know about other countries, but the U.S. focuses too much on memorization and not enough of practical life skills and critical thinking. You can take classes that teach you how to cook, clean and file taxes, but those classes are optional and are seen as "girly" classes, so a lot of boys choose other electives and end up not knowing how to cook for themselves or do their own laundry. I do like that the U.S. allows students to have some elective classes. If you enjoy music, you can elect to take choir or band class, but if not you could choose to take a computer class or wood-working class instead. I think if I ever have children I'm going to homeschool them and take the parts of each school system that I like and put them together. It's a shame that countries don't interact and discuss which parts of their school system work the best and which parts don't work and adjust their curriculum accordingly. Maybe some day in the future that will happen and the human race will advance much further because of it.
@@thedestroyer9611 stop misinforming people. Everything you pointed out is 10 years outdated. I am here living in Japan and I have seen how the kids here enjoy school. Yes they have problems like bullying but that is also true for schools everywhere. Things have improve so much. Your info is so behind.
AGREED! I was homeschooled, so i was raised to be very respectful, and thoughtful, and helpful. Helping my family clean the house, tend to our garden, and help make meals was normal for me. And because i was homeschooled when i went to a very very small private christian school for 4 years, ages 7, 8, 9, & 10, i was a great student and my teacher loved me, and i was a good influence on my classmates/friends. And then when i talked my parents into allowing me to try a somewhat smaller public highschool freshman year i was SHOCKED! I couldnt believe how immature and disrespectful the other kids were... I ended up going only for a year part time...so from 11AM-3PM 5 days a week. Luckily i made 4 good friends though. But now...i am 29 and only in contact with 2 of them, one, Ariana is my bff.😊 so one good thing came of it. I was also shocked as to how and what the teachers teach the kids. Its somewhat harder to learn because ur in each class for only 1 hour a day and dont get ANY help, they dont teach u basic things u should know about life or very useful things u will remember 10 years later, and u dont learn any real skills for ur future. I actually despise the whole public school system in America. And its because i experienced...and im glad i did, cause my opinion is from 1st hand knowledge. I feel that in some other countries, Japan included, they do a much btr job at educating their students. They seem to actually prepare them for real life, and teach them basic life skills, and also give them more time to learn things each day. (They dont cram tons and tons of random mostly useless stuff into a few short hours without going into very much depth...i learned more in one day at home then i did one week at public school. And my private christian school was somewhat similar to Japanese schools...we had a garden we ate from daily, we cleaned our classroom at the end of the day, we were in one room all day, including the elder grades up to 12th, we HAD to say please, thank you, your welcome...and we could stay til 5pm doing homework.) Americas public school system is way too liberal, and in simple terms, slacking hardcore. I dont want kids at school til 9pm at night...but alot needs to change. And maybe we could learn something from Japan and some other countries. We have a very high rate of teen pregnancies, and teens getting into trouble, and using drugs and alcohol... And its just not common in Japan... Obviously they r doing something right...and obviously America is not. How about we worry less about educating kids on sex sex sex and teaching them high math and other things that they wont ever use and educate them on useful everyday life skills, and prepare them for a career with learning trade skills(like the UK does)... I feel like kids are wasting half of their lives away at a place that is completely useless...at least once the kids hit age 9-11 something should change. (But i also dont think kids should even start school til they are about 7 years old...because the older a child is the btr they will learn things...instead of taking 2-3 years to teach kids the basics, u could do it in one year if they start at 7 or 8...that doesnt mean they shouldnt be learning anything before then...obviously they should...but not in the typical sitting in a classroom thing...my son is 6 and is homeschooled, and is smarter or as smart than his 3 cousins that are ages 6, 9, and 11 that are in public school. Hes alot smarter than the 6 yo she doesnt even know her ABCs or what 1+1 is, can write much btr and more accurately than the 9 yo and is btr at basic skills like puzzles, mazes, drawing, cooking, cleaning, and simple math, and his handwriting is btr than the 11 yo, and knows how to vacuum and do dishes and do laundry unlike the 11 yo. These kids have gone to public school since preK, and were in daycare for 2 years before that even. And they seriously learn hardly anything... My son has learned more in 6 years with me just teaching him basic everyday life things. We sit down and do book time 3 days a week any day...not just Mon-Fri cause its fun for him not "work", for 2-3 hours at a time...be it math, words, writing, reading, science, history. And then we read one or more books every night. We do bible/religious stuff all the time randomly...especially Sundays. We do science stuff randomly a one-10 times a week...like making slime, freezing diff liquids, baking, researching bugs or plants, planting and harvesting produce, etc etc. We do art almost daily for fun, but he will also look at something and draw it. He helps to normal household chores...vacuum, dishes, laundry, moping, dusting, litter box, car washing, yard clean up, garden work, fixing a cupboard door or a leaky pipe. And if he has a question or is curious about something, like why is the sky blue, where does the moon go, how do trees grow, how do birds eat and poop, what are thumbs for, etc etc... We will look it up...if i have time right then, if not i write it down for later... I do just explain it sometimes...but its always more fun if he can see a book, or pictures, or a video, or do a work page also... ALSO...because he is with me more he is very mature, polite, and respectful constantly...he doesnt understand bratty kids that throw fits in Walmart...or yell at their parent...or dont say please...BUT he can still be a kid and isnt stuck in a classroom all day from age 4. And he does classes like karate, or gymnastics, horse back riding, art class, etc to make friends. Plus theres church and his cousins.) Hands on is ALWAYS btr! ALWAYS! And i feel like public schools lack with that ALOT! ANYWHO! Yes Japanese schools are much btr in many ways!
Shawnie Lynn Can you be my teacher? Sounds way more educational than my highschool. I totally agree that hands on is better. It helps me remember things way faster and it isn’t like trying to cram a bunch of black and white complicated words into my head.
@@ThomasJFoolery I think exams play a big part in all schools. However not all educational systems are exam oriented. Seems like the students there grow the plants and harvest them on their own so they will appreciate their food more. Although they don't cook, they prep themselves for lunch and pick up their own food carts. They are taught to organize, clean, recycle and even express gratitude to the cooks. They don't just learn theories, they learn other practical things firsthand. We never had that in school. Most of the things we learned were to answer exam papers. For lunch we just go to the canteen, buy, eat and rush back to class to study as recess was just 20 minutes. Exams can play a big part or a small part but the educational system shouldn't be completely exam oriented.
It has been pointed out that children do not wear cleaning gloves when they clean their classrooms. In Japan all children are given time to wash their hands with soap and water after cleaning. At the same time, they are taught in a practical way how to wash their hands carefully for sterilization. In addition to this, children are given time to wash their hands before and after each lunch, and after each meal they are given time to wash their hands, brush their teeth, and gargle. In Japan, compulsory education up to elementary or junior high school does not allow students to go to the classroom with the shoes they have worn outside. Shoes worn outside are exchanged for shoes worn inside at the school's entrance, where there is a shoe box. (Haven't you ever seen this in anime?). In the restrooms, slippers are available for changing inside shoes. Therefore, the floors of classrooms and hallways in the school building are free of mud, dirt, and germs brought in from the outside. The classroom floors are kept relatively clean because they are swabbed with water by the children every day all year round before leaving school. In addition, each family brings their own inside shoes home once a week to be cleaned and brought in. Children do not wear gloves when cleaning because the floors are not so dirty to begin with. There is a reason why Japan has been so thorough in cleaning education since ancient times. It is because Japan is an island nation with a warm and humid climate. A warm and humid climate is not only a paradise for humans, it is also a paradise for bacteria and pathogens to multiply. In other words, it is an environment where corrosion, mold, and bacteria can quickly multiply if the environment is not kept consistently clean every day. In an age without medicine or science and technology, an outbreak of an infectious disease is a threat to the destruction of a species, let alone a family. In order to escape this fear, Japanese people have always disliked lazy lifestyles and have worked hard to maintain their health by cleaning and keeping their surroundings clean every day. Fortunately, Japan is also a huge volcanic island, so there is plenty of clean, filtered water gushing out on the plains. With this blessed amount of water, cleaning can be done at any time without cost. The Japanese love of cleanliness is not a preference or a hobby, but comes from the wisdom of ancient people who lived more than 10,000 years ago to survive in the natural environment of this island nation. This is a matter of life and death, so they have educated themselves well from childhood. This may be unimaginable to those born and raised on dry and stable continental lands, but it is a historical fact of their island nation. The natural environment of the island nation of Japan was not only blessed with an abundance of water, goods, and food, but also had its harsh side. This harsh aspect of the natural environment has given birth to a unique behavior and culture that favors perfectionism. It has required the Japanese to be diligent and to work perfectly without cutting corners, rather than allowed themselves not to be lazy. In Japan, if you are not careful, you will face the repercussions of the harsh natural environment. Their unusual love of cleanliness was also a matter of life and death, because it was an important issue. In this land, an epidemic caused by one person's lazy lifestyle could go beyond the individual to threaten the destruction of the tribe. "Even if it is a hassle, we do not cut corners every day and continually keep our surroundings clean." Through their long history, they have realized that this is, in fact, efficient, reasonable, and effective. Therefore, they educate their children to make this task a habit so that it does not become a hardship for them, and they learn through experience how pleasant and comfortable a clean environment is after the work is done, even if the cleaning work is hard.

Amazing! After 8yrs I hope the school is still run like this. All the interaction between the kids, the good manners, the cleaning up after themselves, the respect and self respect this engenders - so so great! And full tummies as well 😄. This is how lunchtime for kids should be, globally.
It’s not just the kids who are well behaved and being taught life lessons, the meal is made from scratch and looks much healthier than what we get in America!
@@Sarvwhen have you seen the Japanese education system? It's 10000× more intense and pressuring than the American one and they have a suicide rate at least 5 times greater than that of the US Among teens because of pressure from their families and society to overwork themselves and become a corporate success
It also is a sign of low rebellious attitudes of Japanese society. Of slow changes. So don't just take one thing from a culture and appreciate it. Take the roots, consequences and associations of it too Which in this case is upholding values, +ve conservatism and rejecting fickleness
I am Indian and our teachers too strict. I see so many ppl wearing whatever they want in school. I wish same was here lol. The teachers will kill us if we take a mob or any electronics in our bag. We don't have lockers we just keep bags besides the seats. I hate the girls and boys sitting system. I wish to have one kitchen for all but sadly we bring our own meal that also non veg not aloud 😭😭. The cafe area is way better but takes my pocketmoney lol. Plus the options are less but are tasty. They have things eaten for snacks but the actual lunch is too much. They offer misal paw but that is three plates like dude only 15 mins for eating and that also half time gone in line and u giving this- ☹️☹️ Edit: and can't even talk abt the 5kg bags we carry to 4 floor. Kids having no weight bags stay at the ground floor. We having big bags go to top floors almost abt to burst in tears but can't do it 😅. Lockdown made it easy but now we again cry missing all this 😭☹️
Exactly, India is very good country but yahan ke log bahut undisciplined hain warna aryabhatta ko hi dekhlo kitne discipline wale the lekins Indian bahut discipline nahi hote
I'm flabbergasted at the amount of structure and discipline the public schools have. All of the students look extremely happy. Maybe our US schools can learn from them.
It's a completely different system and populous. While yes, this kind of system would be nice in the US, it's just so different and much larger and diverse. Coupled with the fact that funding is VERY limited at most schools, this would probably be impossible.
I am Japanese and 40 years ago I had almost the same experience. For us cleaning was fun time as well as school food. I never thought that I was forced to clean. Children can find their own entertainment even in cleaning. I enjoyed wiping the floor with a cloth with my hands and racing with friends. Toilet cleaning wasn't so much fun but I felt refreshments after it became cleaner. We take turns where we clean every week or so. Garden and garbage collection were popular task in my school :)
@Lazari The video's 5 years ago, and the place looks like they live in a rural area so maybe they didnt have mops for the students to use Just giving ideas though, I don't know the real reason
@Lazari In some Asian countries, cloths are used to wipe the floor. Those cloths are actually recycled like used clothes with fabric than can be used in wiping the floors.
We should definitely have this system in the United Kingdom! It’s incredibly productive and helpful. Most children here do not appreciate the hard work of the school staff and do not take care of their environment. They lack independence and appreciation. Japan’s system is amazing!
uk is great because its democracy law and equal .japan have a lot of problems in these .exam female equal problem its education only express japanese do everything almost perfect.it can not prove this education system is better than,others.
I am very impressed by the whole approach to education and in particular to the lunch period as a learning experience. The appreciation that the children show for the food they have and the quality of it is wonderful, as well as the mutual respect between the children and their children. The work the children do in the growing of the food in the school farm, in cleaning the dining area and the school in general is a huge lesson of cooperation, peaceful co- existence and peace in the world.
This is like a dream...You know when you see those cartoons and movies with peaceful world and all, this one feels like that.I'm so happy for these children, some might say they all grow up without personalities but looks how much fun these kids are having yet they respect everything and learn about discipline and responsibilities. The kids don't have to be rebels or to stand out in a negative way, the fact they do says they have some personal issues, these kids are amazing.
+Shoo Bub But the individuality is lost. I grew up in germany but also attended japanese schools in japan for a few months and while in germany i was always one of the boring well-behaving childs, in japan i was so bored, because everone is loke "no we are not allowed to do that". If you are raised from a very young to behave like this, then you might feel comfortable, but its impossible to fit in, if you weren´t raised like that. ANd Japan has a very high rate of children comitting suicide. Because due to everyone being the "same" if someone sticks out he is bullied. Bullying is a big thing in japan. Also there is very high pressure in getting good grates.
+Marion Mielke Main Reason --- children suicide => Because due to everyone being the "same" The cause of the suicide is bullying almost between the children.
+Marion Mielke yeah I agree. It's funny how people always admire something that they do not have. In eastern nations such as Korea, people always say western educational system promotes creativity. But as a person who has experienced the german school system and the korean one, I think both systems should be mixed
김원준 It is definitely different for people who try to fit in but if the child is raised this way,there is nothing bad about that. I indeed admire discipline and respect from these young kids, here you wont see nothing like that,in fact kids throw their lunch into garbage, don't bother washing hands,spit in others foods and I could go on.
Marion Mielke I understand where you are coming from, this is a big issue, how the other kids from different places can fit into this system. But spitting in other people food, throwing food in garbage and showing attitude is definitely not a part of having personality. These kids each have their personality, the lovely little girl showed how much she enjoy food and everything they do, they are passionate and loving. Keep in mind they are 5th graders, in this age they don't have to show some personality but enjoy their childhood and have fun which they definitely had in that classroom!
Because of the politics. Here, the teacher are empowered not the kids who know fuck all. However, in the U.S. This wont work because you have all sorts of nasty teachers. Go figure.
Carbonated Turtle ahhh you must be an American. They typically blame their kids who by the way are highly Impressionable and are subjected to how adults treat them. It makes no sense to why you say that.
***** No, I'm not American, but I am their neighbour, and it's no secret that their children are some of the worst behaved in the world. I'm not saying the parents aren't partly to blame, but that doesn't take away from the fact that their kids are still little shits.
Japan has the best way to discipline the students and that why the country is well-develop. Wish we train our kids like this in school in the the us too
I agree with you. There are things that my mom learned at school while we didn't and are things that we needed to learn since young. I like their system.
US Version: A tired teacher with a "I give up" expression on her face barely makes out her last words when the bell rings. A hustle of dirty and unimpressed children climb over each other for the door. Once inside the cafeteria they head straight for the vending machines for their favorite sodas and candies. Once inside main cafeteria, the scour the room for susceptible prey willing to trade for the good stuff.
+Cucha Racha Also, food management companies bribing superintendents for exclusive contracts to ensure that nothing like this ever happens. Git your bottom-dollar slop and GTFO.
+Cucha Racha Well, keep in mind, that this school is an ideal example. It's not always like that in Japan. And I';m sure there are schools following similiar programs and standards in the US and Europe as well. If you wanted to, you could even make MY school look like that. Or well, at least almost as great.
Discipline at an early age is always a great values to have a better outlook early on and will help everyone achieve their individual goals which may result to a positive outcome. I have such high respect to the values and culture of the Japanese people. Salute!
They said ''thank you for teaching'' at the end of class and ''thank you for making our food''. How sweet, I really like that. We started packing our bags like five minutes before the class ends and school lunch is nonexistent. lol
I mean they're still kids, I'm sure they'll reach a rebellious stage where they become less respectful just like all of us, but I agree, children wouldn't be as disciplined and organised if this education system was set in the western countries
I am a 47 year old Japanese.
This education is the same as 40 years ago.
The only change was that the milk container was a bottle.
p.s. My mother said it was the same 70 years ago.
Wow... I come from South-east Asia and the system is completely different. We bring our own food from home and we get a lot of homework.
That's great! I wish other countries will adopt this Japanese system as well!
I live in iraq and we don't serve food in schools... Some of us don't even have proper schools to go to.
We don't have proper roads or hospitals or anything that's well-done.

Well be sure to take it with a grain of salt, remember right now japan is facing a decline due to a lack of repopulation and people becoming hikikomori.
It's easy to romanticize and I'm in no way discrediting the value of allowing children to take responsibilities and learning social skills, but there are serious problems that rear their ugly heads.

As a student of both America and Japan, I'd rather be playing with my milk and throwing half my lunch away, then cleaning the floors as if I failed in life... But I guess I learned gratitude. I don't know how I would have behaved if it was just America.
Yes! American children are too spoiled and ungrateful for things that they take for granted in life. Responsibility for your own well being and community are traits missing in American society.
@@popn6189 1. You'd rather throw food away while there are starving people, from children to elderly, all around the globe? Seriously?
2. Cleaning does not mean you failed in life in any way, shape or form. Cleaning at home should be split between family members, and cleaning as a job is just as respectable as any office job out there.
You clearly failed in life already by having this shitty mentality and spewing all this snobby, uptight bullshit.
Great
@@WildVee Sorry. The school refuses to give food to the poor, especially to people around the world(cuz its too far probably). I even wrote a whole essay on it to the district lunch person who's in charge of the district lunches. I haven't got a reply. The food that people don't take will be thrown away anyway, and my school is probably the least of our problems. Companies like Mcdonalds, Burger King, etc. should also change their habits of throwing away food. They throw A LOT. just search it up. As for the cleaning, I always did my job, it was just immensely demoralizing and depressing to see kids say "I'm working hard now so that I don't have to work hard when I grow up" and you know they will get really bad jobs and overwork and probably kill themselves. Also, the world doesn't see "cleaning" as a respectable job in pure eyes like yours. I really hope for change and I didn't mean what I said in the way you interpreted it. I just wanted to say Japan isn't as heavenly as people think. It has its fair share of evil.

@@zcorpiox5815 あなたのインスタは何ですか。
Tee D In life you’re going to have to clean regardless so I think asian classrooms are better at teaching actual life lessons rather than in America where they teach you useless topics that you’ll never use in your life after college unless you get a career that majors in that topic. America doesn’t teach us to prepare our own lunches and have responsibilities but teaches kids that they can do whatever they want in life and grow up lazy and sleep deprived. I’d rather be helping clean a classroom and eating together in a class with classmates without cellphones and technology. America isn’t that great and doesn’t really help raise kids into intelligent adults, american classrooms actually make kids fear for their lives, suffer from mental issues, and bullying is an issue that is never taken care of properly (i’m not saying that it’s not the same for asia) but america lacks the proper education system.
Random User I agree and I live in America and the school education is not used that much for work except those big jobs and stuff

Is this a public school (govt funded from taxes), charter (public grants and family pay), or private (family pay)? I would guess charter. It gives school admin more autonomy to make better choices, than a beaurocratic monopoly (public school).

At elementary school, we Japanese learn not only cooking and cleaning, but also techniques for daily life such as sewing, cooking, and home economics. They haven't changed much since 50 years when I was in elementary school. I think it is interesting that the school lunch and equipment systems in Japanese elementary schools have not changed at all from 50 years ago. I loved the school lunch and I enjoyed school on every things with my friends. It is also good that everyone eats the same lunch, so there is no difference between rich and poor, and they are equal. The smiles of all the children show that.
That's Great!
I'm jealous. Why can't the American School System adopt that. The school system is freaking horrible here. Students die (ahem because if them) and they don't care.

+bob hope That is not true. When children aresmall they understand very little of what adults do - they are taught to say please and thank you long before they understand what the word "respect" really means. When they grow older they will develop their own way of understanding politeness and use their interpretation of what is useful. You have to teach them! My boys did not want to give up their seats in a bus for example if someone elderly or otherwise impaired needed it when they were very little. I made them and explained again and again why it is important to help others and why other people needed to sit instead of them. Now, years later, they do it without me having to say a word, because they understand it and have developed empathy. Children are egoists by nature and have to be taught the meaning and importance of social structures. Those whose parents let them do what they want and teach them, that they´re the centre of the universe - let´s say they don´t turn out so great usually. Structure, rules, empathy and, of course, love - a child needs all of these.

Mannat Malhotra If you are an Indian you should know that even Indian students stand & say thank you teacher after each class before teacher leaves & when teacher enters the class they stand & wish good morning or good after noon, so don’t make India as backward or disrespectful,the only country I see with no respect for any elder,teacher or parent is America.,they don’t even say hi or good morning to teachers here it’s opposite teachers wish kids.

Do not ever apologise for your English. I do not know a word of Japanese.
I almost burst into tears when they thanked their teacher for teaching. I've never seen anything like that before in my whole life.
sydney lawson oh, all of these are very usual in school of japan. thanks for teacher, food, etc
sydney lawson Truly excellent!
sydney lawson I was impressed and suprised as well.This is the way of raising children.
We have Japanese as a compulsory language subject up until Year 9 in most schools in Melbourne, Australia. We also have to stand up and greet the teacher before we start the class, and afterwards stand up and thank the teacher for teaching. Though, we've never had to clean the hallways or anything and we don't have meals at school as a class. I normally skip both recess and lunch because I'm not hungry.
i'm not japanese but we had to greet and thank our teachers before and after classes too up until high school. Though most kids don't really mean it since we were all just parroting what had been taught to us as kids and they were the rules. Idk if that's how japanese kids think too, i might just be cynical :P
This is why Japanese have wonderful work ethic and pride. Beautifully mannered children.

Looks like they teach the kids to work as a family rather than against one another. In the U.S. it's a constant battle, quiz after quiz, test after test, no talking, no working together, if you fail you are shamed.
I wouldn't say that exactly though, I'm pretty sure as they grow older the quizzes and tests would start
no its like that in japan jus tin the higher grades thats like in year 2
That sound like Asian Country :v
Nah, just graduated HS and it's been like that since I started.
GamingTaylor Sadly... Ikr
This is actually a school and not a competition factory that we see nowadays. They are educating the kids on basics, team work and hence building a nation
but also they have hive mentality and if someone highlights a little bit is really fucked... Also, you realize the big problems that nowadays exist in Japan because of the education (at school and as society)?
I am watching this video from India and I like this way of Japan very much that the people there give more care about the cleanliness of their surroundings. Love 💕 Japan from India🇮🇳❤️🇯🇵🙏
What a wonderful way to have kids learn thankfulness and responsibility while also learning reading/writing/math
Lisa Mieth yet Asian people are the rudest, most impolite people I’ve ever met. I work in retail
Well, not all Asian people are terrible. It is just the environment that they were exposed to. The kids in this video were taught teamwork and proper communication skills. The people you are talking about most likely weren't taught discipline as much as you did. Don't blame the whole race if you only got exposed to a group of people.
I'm really amazed that how all these things can be done in 45 minutes

I work in a Japanese elementary school and everything is accurate!!! I love how they teach kids to be polite, to be disciplined and to have a proper hygiene before and after meals. The fact that this was before COVID proves how Japanese people really care about cleanliness! Kudos to Japan 🇯🇵
Such a shame it's not done the same here in the UK. Not to say that all children are undisciplined and disrespectful.
Is this only practiced in elite schools? Or is it practiced in every school?
@@NagaVigneshN I would say it is all schools in Japan. Cleaning is a daily chore they have to do. They also spend long hours at school too. I am not sure if the hours apply to the younger children though.
@@bobby666666 Oh then this is really awesome. I know Japanese people hold discipline very highly. This schooling system is great. I would have never got tired of it. I am from India and my school didn't even have any events or celebrations and let alone a ground. So this is like 10x times better for me
@@NagaVigneshN As long as you enjoyed school. There are quite a few YT videos about Japan. They are quite fascinating.
It is really interesting to learn that many non-Japanese people do not know the distinction between child labor and discipline. Serving lunch, cleaning the classroom, keeping the whole school tidy are part of education in Japan. Those customs contribute to realizing the clean and sanitized environment in Japan.
That’s true. Born and raised in Japan. Because it would be you who have to clean up if you make a mess in a classroom, you learn to respect your area and keep it clean. We adopt that mentality as young children.
It also is important for learning how to work together and take collective responsibility for your environment. However, there can be problems with things that fall outside of clearly defined zones of responsibility, and that is where you find some problems.
Rest of the world should learn from Japan... How they are disciplined...
You wish
And a lot of honest people. Also very polite. You leave stuff anywhere and u wont lose it for days. U encounter catastrophe and people wont loot, they stay in line waiting for handouts. Here... u know it

If I ever have children, I want them to grow up in Japan. They teach them so much more.
Exactly.
@@thedestroyer9611 You know, I made this comment before I started watching a bunch of videos on ths Japanese school system. Then I saw an American English teacher talk about the downsides and I completely see your point. I appreciate the sense of community and responsibility Japanese culture teaches. But you're right, the work culture is incredibly toxic. Kids go to school too much and stress themselves out. People literally work themselves to death.
@KB force I'm so sorry you were made to feel that way! I also read that some teachers are physically abusive to their students. Is that true? Because that is just awful. I also found out that you guys go to school six days a week and some students even go to tutoring on their days off and during breaks because there is so much pressure to make good grades. Then there's all the clubs you have to join and practice. That's just too much. Kids need time to play and pursue their own interests. I think the perfect school system would be a hybrid of American, Japanese, and German schools. I like that Japanese schools have students serve each other lunch. I also appreciate that the schools serve local food and food the students have grown themselves. I think it teaches kids proper hygiene, respect for the people who prepare the food, and how to cooperate. I also think Japan does a better job at educating people on proper nutrition and I think Japanese people have a greater respect for food and where it comes from. To some degree, in think it's good that Japan has a greater emphasis on the good of the community and less focus on the individual. However, I think there should be a better balance between respecting the needs of those around you and being you're own person with wants and desires. I think America puts too much focus on individualism and it's resulted in a lot of selfish people who don't care about the good of those around them. Americans spend less time in schools than the Japanese, but I still feel like it's too much! I think school days should only be about six hours long, but a lot of Americans depend on the school system as free childcare. I like that German schools are more tailored to the students talents and skillsets. The exact same curriculum is taught to everyone in the U.S. and I think it ends up hurting a lot of people. If you excel in math and science and enjoy it, why not give that student the opportunity to be taught things that will help them in their future career path at an earlier age. If you hate math and science and aren't very good at it, why continue to force someone to learn algebra if they're never going to use those skills as an adult? I don't know about other countries, but the U.S. focuses too much on memorization and not enough of practical life skills and critical thinking. You can take classes that teach you how to cook, clean and file taxes, but those classes are optional and are seen as "girly" classes, so a lot of boys choose other electives and end up not knowing how to cook for themselves or do their own laundry. I do like that the U.S. allows students to have some elective classes. If you enjoy music, you can elect to take choir or band class, but if not you could choose to take a computer class or wood-working class instead. I think if I ever have children I'm going to homeschool them and take the parts of each school system that I like and put them together. It's a shame that countries don't interact and discuss which parts of their school system work the best and which parts don't work and adjust their curriculum accordingly. Maybe some day in the future that will happen and the human race will advance much further because of it.
@@thedestroyer9611 stop misinforming people. Everything you pointed out is 10 years outdated. I am here living in Japan and I have seen how the kids here enjoy school. Yes they have problems like bullying but that is also true for schools everywhere. Things have improve so much. Your info is so behind.
@@thedestroyer9611 it's because when more women enter the workforce with long hours, there is less time to have children.

Gosh, western schools need to step up their game.
Jëńńïë and Łïśä Indian schools too
AGREED! I was homeschooled, so i was raised to be very respectful, and thoughtful, and helpful.
Helping my family clean the house, tend to our garden, and help make meals was normal for me.
And because i was homeschooled when i went to a very very small private christian school for 4 years, ages 7, 8, 9, & 10, i was a great student and my teacher loved me, and i was a good influence on my classmates/friends.
And then when i talked my parents into allowing me to try a somewhat smaller public highschool freshman year i was SHOCKED!
I couldnt believe how immature and disrespectful the other kids were...
I ended up going only for a year part time...so from 11AM-3PM 5 days a week.
Luckily i made 4 good friends though. But now...i am 29 and only in contact with 2 of them, one, Ariana is my bff.😊 so one good thing came of it.
I was also shocked as to how and what the teachers teach the kids.
Its somewhat harder to learn because ur in each class for only 1 hour a day and dont get ANY help, they dont teach u basic things u should know about life or very useful things u will remember 10 years later, and u dont learn any real skills for ur future.
I actually despise the whole public school system in America.
And its because i experienced...and im glad i did, cause my opinion is from 1st hand knowledge.
I feel that in some other countries, Japan included, they do a much btr job at educating their students.
They seem to actually prepare them for real life, and teach them basic life skills, and also give them more time to learn things each day.
(They dont cram tons and tons of random mostly useless stuff into a few short hours without going into very much depth...i learned more in one day at home then i did one week at public school. And my private christian school was somewhat similar to Japanese schools...we had a garden we ate from daily, we cleaned our classroom at the end of the day, we were in one room all day, including the elder grades up to 12th, we HAD to say please, thank you, your welcome...and we could stay til 5pm doing homework.)
Americas public school system is way too liberal, and in simple terms, slacking hardcore.
I dont want kids at school til 9pm at night...but alot needs to change.
And maybe we could learn something from Japan and some other countries.
We have a very high rate of teen pregnancies, and teens getting into trouble, and using drugs and alcohol...
And its just not common in Japan...
Obviously they r doing something right...and obviously America is not.
How about we worry less about educating kids on sex sex sex and teaching them high math and other things that they wont ever use and educate them on useful everyday life skills, and prepare them for a career with learning trade skills(like the UK does)...
I feel like kids are wasting half of their lives away at a place that is completely useless...at least once the kids hit age 9-11 something should change.
(But i also dont think kids should even start school til they are about 7 years old...because the older a child is the btr they will learn things...instead of taking 2-3 years to teach kids the basics, u could do it in one year if they start at 7 or 8...that doesnt mean they shouldnt be learning anything before then...obviously they should...but not in the typical sitting in a classroom thing...my son is 6 and is homeschooled, and is smarter or as smart than his 3 cousins that are ages 6, 9, and 11 that are in public school. Hes alot smarter than the 6 yo she doesnt even know her ABCs or what 1+1 is, can write much btr and more accurately than the 9 yo and is btr at basic skills like puzzles, mazes, drawing, cooking, cleaning, and simple math, and his handwriting is btr than the 11 yo, and knows how to vacuum and do dishes and do laundry unlike the 11 yo.
These kids have gone to public school since preK, and were in daycare for 2 years before that even.
And they seriously learn hardly anything...
My son has learned more in 6 years with me just teaching him basic everyday life things.
We sit down and do book time 3 days a week any day...not just Mon-Fri cause its fun for him not "work", for 2-3 hours at a time...be it math, words, writing, reading, science, history.
And then we read one or more books every night.
We do bible/religious stuff all the time randomly...especially Sundays.
We do science stuff randomly a one-10 times a week...like making slime, freezing diff liquids, baking, researching bugs or plants, planting and harvesting produce, etc etc.
We do art almost daily for fun, but he will also look at something and draw it.
He helps to normal household chores...vacuum, dishes, laundry, moping, dusting, litter box, car washing, yard clean up, garden work, fixing a cupboard door or a leaky pipe.
And if he has a question or is curious about something, like why is the sky blue, where does the moon go, how do trees grow, how do birds eat and poop, what are thumbs for, etc etc...
We will look it up...if i have time right then, if not i write it down for later...
I do just explain it sometimes...but its always more fun if he can see a book, or pictures, or a video, or do a work page also...
ALSO...because he is with me more he is very mature, polite, and respectful constantly...he doesnt understand bratty kids that throw fits in Walmart...or yell at their parent...or dont say please...BUT he can still be a kid and isnt stuck in a classroom all day from age 4.
And he does classes like karate, or gymnastics, horse back riding, art class, etc to make friends. Plus theres church and his cousins.)
Hands on is ALWAYS btr! ALWAYS!
And i feel like public schools lack with that ALOT!
ANYWHO!
Yes Japanese schools are much btr in many ways!
Facts my school sucx

@carol nelson that will be great if it happens!
let me remind you, this is lunchtime. Exams are a big part of Japanese education system.
@@ThomasJFoolery I think exams play a big part in all schools. However not all educational systems are exam oriented. Seems like the students there grow the plants and harvest them on their own so they will appreciate their food more. Although they don't cook, they prep themselves for lunch and pick up their own food carts. They are taught to organize, clean, recycle and even express gratitude to the cooks. They don't just learn theories, they learn other practical things firsthand. We never had that in school. Most of the things we learned were to answer exam papers. For lunch we just go to the canteen, buy, eat and rush back to class to study as recess was just 20 minutes. Exams can play a big part or a small part but the educational system shouldn't be completely exam oriented.
YEAH, WHAT HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE GROW UP WHEN WE BUY OUR FOOD DOES THE SELLER ASK YOU WHATS THE HOTTEST PLANET ON SPACE

It has been pointed out that children do not wear cleaning gloves when they clean their classrooms.
In Japan all children are given time to wash their hands with soap and water after cleaning.
At the same time, they are taught in a practical way how to wash their hands carefully for sterilization.
In addition to this, children are given time to wash their hands before and after each lunch, and after each meal they are given time to wash their hands, brush their teeth, and gargle.
In Japan, compulsory education up to elementary or junior high school does not allow students to go to the classroom with the shoes they have worn outside.
Shoes worn outside are exchanged for shoes worn inside at the school's entrance, where there is a shoe box.
(Haven't you ever seen this in anime?).
In the restrooms, slippers are available for changing inside shoes.
Therefore, the floors of classrooms and hallways in the school building are free of mud, dirt, and germs brought in from the outside.
The classroom floors are kept relatively clean because they are swabbed with water by the children every day all year round before leaving school.
In addition, each family brings their own inside shoes home once a week to be cleaned and brought in.
Children do not wear gloves when cleaning because the floors are not so dirty to begin with.
There is a reason why Japan has been so thorough in cleaning education since ancient times.
It is because Japan is an island nation with a warm and humid climate.
A warm and humid climate is not only a paradise for humans, it is also a paradise for bacteria and pathogens to multiply.
In other words, it is an environment where corrosion, mold, and bacteria can quickly multiply if the environment is not kept consistently clean every day.
In an age without medicine or science and technology, an outbreak of an infectious disease is a threat to the destruction of a species, let alone a family.
In order to escape this fear, Japanese people have always disliked lazy lifestyles and have worked hard to maintain their health by cleaning and keeping their surroundings clean every day.
Fortunately, Japan is also a huge volcanic island, so there is plenty of clean, filtered water gushing out on the plains. With this blessed amount of water, cleaning can be done at any time without cost.
The Japanese love of cleanliness is not a preference or a hobby, but comes from the wisdom of ancient people who lived more than 10,000 years ago to survive in the natural environment of this island nation.
This is a matter of life and death, so they have educated themselves well from childhood.
This may be unimaginable to those born and raised on dry and stable continental lands, but it is a historical fact of their island nation.
The natural environment of the island nation of Japan was not only blessed with an abundance of water, goods, and food, but also had its harsh side. This harsh aspect of the natural environment has given birth to a unique behavior and culture that favors perfectionism.
It has required the Japanese to be diligent and to work perfectly without cutting corners, rather than allowed themselves not to be lazy. In Japan, if you are not careful, you will face the repercussions of the harsh natural environment.
Their unusual love of cleanliness was also a matter of life and death, because it was an important issue.
In this land, an epidemic caused by one person's lazy lifestyle could go beyond the individual to threaten the destruction of the tribe.
"Even if it is a hassle, we do not cut corners every day and continually keep our surroundings clean."
Through their long history, they have realized that this is, in fact, efficient, reasonable, and effective.
Therefore, they educate their children to make this task a habit so that it does not become a hardship for them, and they learn through experience how pleasant and comfortable a clean environment is after the work is done, even if the cleaning work is hard.
I want to raise my child in a clean environment like this one

so much discipline at such a young age. how I wish our country can be like this.
I'm flabbergasted at the amount of structure and discipline the public schools have. All of the students look extremely happy. Maybe our US schools can learn from them.
It's a completely different system and populous. While yes, this kind of system would be nice in the US, it's just so different and much larger and diverse. Coupled with the fact that funding is VERY limited at most schools, this would probably be impossible.
Our schools are completely fine and are much less complicated
Even taking away the way the meal serving, getting kids to say thank you, help each other, clean up after themselves, show respect etc is free
M3LONS The is still a huge need for improvement.
japanese kids are brought up like that and not all kids have been given care and attention from their childhood thats why they are bad mannered
I am Japanese and 40 years ago I had almost the same experience.
For us cleaning was fun time as well as school food.
I never thought that I was forced to clean. Children can find their own entertainment even in cleaning. I enjoyed wiping the floor with a cloth with my hands and racing with friends. Toilet cleaning wasn't so much fun but I felt refreshments after it became cleaner. We take turns where we clean every week or so. Garden and garbage collection were popular task in my school :)
@Lazari I have 3 classes a day which are 1½ hours long
It must be hell for them
It's excellent way to teach a person to keep public space clean too, as if you would be the person cleaning it later!
@Lazari probably because this all happened 40 years ago
@Lazari The video's 5 years ago, and the place looks like they live in a rural area so maybe they didnt have mops for the students to use
Just giving ideas though, I don't know the real reason
@Lazari In some Asian countries, cloths are used to wipe the floor. Those cloths are actually recycled like used clothes with fabric than can be used in wiping the floors.
We should definitely have this system in the United Kingdom! It’s incredibly productive and helpful. Most children here do not appreciate the hard work of the school staff and do not take care of their environment. They lack independence and appreciation. Japan’s system is amazing!
And on Brazil too.
it should be in every country
i do not think so .oppositive i like free and less limited education. you can do everything useless ypu damage others right
education should make people become,creative. japanese like perfect even every little thing .its production is almost perfection and high quality
uk is great because its democracy law and equal .japan have a lot of problems in these .exam female equal problem its education only express japanese do everything almost perfect.it can not prove this education system is better than,others.
I am very impressed by the whole approach to education and in particular to the lunch period as a learning experience. The appreciation that the children show for the food they have and the quality of it is wonderful, as well as the mutual respect between the children and their children. The work the children do in the growing of the food in the school farm, in cleaning the dining area and the school in general is a huge lesson of cooperation, peaceful co- existence and peace in the world.
This is like a dream...You know when you see those cartoons and movies with peaceful world and all, this one feels like that.I'm so happy for these children, some might say they all grow up without personalities but looks how much fun these kids are having yet they respect everything and learn about discipline and responsibilities. The kids don't have to be rebels or to stand out in a negative way, the fact they do says they have some personal issues, these kids are amazing.
+Shoo Bub
But the individuality is lost. I grew up in germany but also attended japanese schools in japan for a few months and while in germany i was always one of the boring well-behaving childs, in japan i was so bored, because everone is loke "no we are not allowed to do that".
If you are raised from a very young to behave like this, then you might feel comfortable, but its impossible to fit in, if you weren´t raised like that.
ANd Japan has a very high rate of children comitting suicide. Because due to everyone being the "same" if someone sticks out he is bullied. Bullying is a big thing in japan. Also there is very high pressure in getting good grates.
+Marion Mielke Main Reason --- children suicide => Because due to everyone being the "same"
The cause of the suicide is bullying almost between the children.
+Marion Mielke yeah I agree. It's funny how people always admire something that they do not have. In eastern nations such as Korea, people always say western educational system promotes creativity. But as a person who has experienced the german school system and the korean one, I think both systems should be mixed
김원준 It is definitely different for people who try to fit in but if the child is raised this way,there is nothing bad about that. I indeed admire discipline and respect from these young kids, here you wont see nothing like that,in fact kids throw their lunch into garbage, don't bother washing hands,spit in others foods and I could go on.
Marion Mielke I understand where you are coming from, this is a big issue, how the other kids from different places can fit into this system. But spitting in other people food, throwing food in garbage and showing attitude is definitely not a part of having personality. These kids each have their personality, the lovely little girl showed how much she enjoy food and everything they do, they are passionate and loving. Keep in mind they are 5th graders, in this age they don't have to show some personality but enjoy their childhood and have fun which they definitely had in that classroom!
Why are these Elementary students more polite and well behaved than the majority of kids in my high school?
Because of the politics. Here, the teacher are empowered not the kids who know fuck all.
However, in the U.S. This wont work because you have all sorts of nasty teachers. Go figure.
+tamponwithwings homogenous population probably also helps.
+reiwell del Not just nasty teachers, but nasty kids too. American kids have no respect for authority.
Carbonated Turtle ahhh you must be an American. They typically blame their kids who by the way are highly Impressionable and are subjected to how adults treat them.
It makes no sense to why you say that.
*****
No, I'm not American, but I am their neighbour, and it's no secret that their children are some of the worst behaved in the world. I'm not saying the parents aren't partly to blame, but that doesn't take away from the fact that their kids are still little shits.
Japan has the best way to discipline the students and that why the country is well-develop. Wish we train our kids like this in school in the the us too
Japan is alright country but you just dont see the dark side of japan and how broken there system is
@@sams9462 what's the dark side? I'm curious
@@audreypayal i can link you some documentary's that is on youtube that could explain it for you. would you like that?
@@sams9462 yes that would be good

Wow! So much helpfulness, gratitude, and cooperation. Thank you for sharing these wonderful cultural practices. God bless you all.
This is another level of education, other countrys should copy this model.
Nah
Yaa
i agree.
I agree with you. There are things that my mom learned at school while we didn't and are things that we needed to learn since young. I like their system.
Very well mannered
Nobody is mentioning how adorable the teacher acted with the spoon or when he brushed his teeth😂😍
Right?? 😍😂
Ikr (~>__
I bet he like the girl who was filming lol
Ikr. And my teacher always has a grumpy face and seldom smiles
He is so shy😂😂😂
US Version:
A tired teacher with a "I give up" expression on her face barely makes out her last words when the bell rings. A hustle of dirty and unimpressed children climb over each other for the door. Once inside the cafeteria they head straight for the vending machines for their favorite sodas and candies. Once inside main cafeteria, the scour the room for susceptible prey willing to trade for the good stuff.
That is so true
+Cucha Racha Also, food management companies bribing superintendents for exclusive contracts to ensure that nothing like this ever happens. Git your bottom-dollar slop and GTFO.
+Cucha Racha Well, keep in mind, that this school is an ideal example. It's not always like that in Japan.
And I';m sure there are schools following similiar programs and standards in the US and Europe as well.
If you wanted to, you could even make MY school look like that. Or well, at least almost as great.
+Cucha Racha fucking weeb
***** stfu
Discipline at an early age is always a great values to have a better outlook early on and will help everyone achieve their individual goals which may result to a positive outcome.
I have such high respect to the values and culture of the Japanese people.
Salute!
I loved it. Kids will never feel they're out of their homes. What a fun learning. This is what is called complete education.
Lots of love to kids.
Yup. Can I be Japanese now?
They said ''thank you for teaching'' at the end of class and ''thank you for making our food''. How sweet, I really like that. We started packing our bags like five minutes before the class ends and school lunch is nonexistent. lol
Rangiku Matsumoto i always say thx to the dinner ppl lol but i dont say thx for teaching they torture me!!!
Frozen gamer well, saying "thank you" to teachers after each classes is like a norm in many countries.
Im shocked theyre so respectful to the staff & teachers, plus they get their food from local farms and they help serve the food
Ikr.. here where I live -or where I used to go to school at- the kids are so disrespectful to the cleaning staff and teachers it’s unbelievable
kids in america are stupid as fuck
@@number1basher822 yep I'm half Korean and Spanish and I believe u
@@number1basher822 they are vety dums to clean
I mean they're still kids, I'm sure they'll reach a rebellious stage where they become less respectful just like all of us, but I agree, children wouldn't be as disciplined and organised if this education system was set in the western countries
My students love watching this and discussing it afterwards. Thank you so much for sharing this.
