- Let's School continues and we work on making our school look fantabulous! We add a few new fancy items to the classrooms, including a very expensive poster which immediately turns invisible, and they become level three rooms which means they get a bit of a makeover!
We add lots of other items elsewhere too, so more plants and paintings and suchlike, and with the successful completion of the Improve Relationship research we're able to put down things like hopscotch markings on the floor and the incredibly exciting Love Mailbox!
Away from making the school look amazing, we build ourselves a nice new training room to get our training done a bit quicker.
Also there's another round of exams, another fantastically inspiring speech and another classroom on the way!

In Let’s School, you take on the role of a principal tasked with the challenge of revamping and managing your alma mater! The game features two core mechanics: the construction and designing of the school and managing the dynamics of students and teachers.
Each student has unique interests and aspirations, making your role as headmaster more complex. Balancing factors like your school's reputation, satisfying students' basic needs, overseeing academic pressure, and managing aspects like clothing, food, and travel provide an immersive and challenging experience. Aside from the usual responsibilities of a headmaster, you are also tasked with managing various issues that originate outside the school, including mysterious dangers and potential threats that might cause things to go bananas!
The architectural design of the school is a blank canvas for the player. With the freedom to plan and construct various functional facilities and access to hundreds of educational equipment, you define your institution's aesthetic and practical landscape. Don't limit yourself to horizontal expansion - think vertically by constructing multi-story buildings for more innovative developments or even eccentric structures!
The fate of teachers and students lies in your hands. The recruitment process, teaching methodologies, and personal growth of teachers and students rest on your decisions. Enhancing the skills of your teachers opens up opportunities for them in different roles. You can influence student morale and academic performance by offering elective courses, thereby shaping their future life paths.
The management of school discipline is another crucial responsibility. Be mindful of the impact of school facilities on student morale, and beware of signs of student distress. Overeating in the canteen could lead to weight gain, while an increase in eyeglass usage could signal excessive stress. Proper access to sanitary facilities is vital, as a lack thereof may lead to widespread anxiety and misuse of the school premises.
To maintain discipline, monitor for contraband among students and establish an effective punishment system. Handling real-time crises such as truancy, bullying, and questioning also falls within your responsibilities.
Fostering a balanced school environment through field days, morning exercises, and various events could help students regulate their emotions. Let’s School is a game of management, strategy, and decision-making, where every choice you make has far-reaching consequences!

There is a location in the dispatch map in your schools region called the "Old School Training Academy" You can send Up to 3 teachers at a time. There are 3 tiers The free option that boosts 1 point, the other two boost respectively better. It is best to save up 30k and send 3 teachers for a +10 to the proficiency limit.
I'm a teacher in South Korea. This school system is almost identical with Korean schools. Yes, it's the opposite of western schools where the students either move to a teacher's dedicated room, or rooms are scheduled and shared - students move about. In Korean schools (and this is a Japanese game, so I assume Japanese schools too) the students belong to a particular room together and they stay in that room (the class numbering 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 is how Korean classes are numbered). In the high schools, students are meant to care for their own room - clean it, clean the blackboard etc (reality is that teenagers in Korea are not so different to teenagers in western schools, lol - classrooms are often a mess!) 🤣🤣
There are two reasons for the difference: firstly age group is REALLY important in a way that it just isn't important in western schools. The people they go to school with their equal peers of the same age - this is a Confucian society so people of the same age have the same status - children start school with their own age group and remain with them throughout (there is no keeping students back), and the friendships they make with their classmates are for life. Students generally don't mix with students of other ages - in fact there isn't even a word in Korean for 'friends of a different age to you' - a 'friend' or 'chingoo' is a person born in the same year - there isn't another word. For this reason, students don't need to move between classrooms at all. The other reason is: In western Middle/High Schools our students must move rooms simply because they all take different subjects, or levels of subjects. That's not the case in South Korean schools. There is no choice of subjects in Middle School like we have in our high schools - all students study all subjects whether they want to or not, so there's no need to move classrooms. It's almost like a complete egalitarian thing - everyone gets the exact same educational curriculum given to them - at least in the public schools. I've never taught the upper High School beyond Middle School, but I believe that there are a few subject choices at those levels. In the larger middle schools that I've taught at, they tend to be arranged by floors, eg. Grade 1 on the ground floor, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 etc, Grade 2 on the second floor, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 etc. And note that grade numbers start again in Middle School, and then again in High School.
The homeroom teacher is much more important in Korea too - they are the chief disciplinarian for that class, they set the seating positions and manage that class. In my western school at least, homeroom was just where we went to lounge around around for 10 minutes to chat before class and receive the odd notice! I always thought homeroom time was a complete waste of time at my western school - we could have just received notices at our first class. Korean homeroom teachers have a lot more responsibility for their class.
Primary/Elementary Schools are arranged very similarly. I teach English, and each school does that a little differently - some schools have a dedicated English classroom (much better for the English teacher!!) and some schools have the teacher move to the children's classroom. I teach in country schools where there are often spare classrooms, so I have my own classrooms and my schools both have the students coming to me, thank goodness! 😊
Here in Brazil we also have “fixed” curriculums. The government establishes how many hours of each subject the school must provide to each grade (as well as some general guidelines of what needs to be taught in each class), and this applies to all schools, public or private. Growing up, the idea that the kids in movies could choose their own classes was crazy to me! 😅 And because of that we also take all classes with the same classmates, the only difference is that here each “group” is called 3A, 3B, 3C, etc, instead of 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, etc
In terms of who changes classroom between classes (teachers or students), each school chooses their preferred system. I’ve experienced both and can definitively say that the two systems have their advantages, but to me having all your classes in the same room (except lab classes), is 100% the way to go. It feels way less disruptive when the only thing you have to do between classes is close one notebook and open another, instead of having to put all your stuff away and rush to the other side of the building.
@@DeniseRafih Thanks for your reply! 😃It's really interesting how different countries do it! I grew up in Australia. We kind of have both students and teachers moving around a lot, because most of the classrooms are general purpose, made for any academic subject (English, foreign language, geography, history, maths, etc), and they are shared (except of course subject rooms requiring specialised equipment such as labs and art and PE and typing etc). Our system is a little different to America (closer to England's systems), but the movement of students between classroom is similar, and we get to choose most of our subjects, although English, Maths and Science were all compulsory and were split up into proficiency groups, eg, Advance Maths, General Maths and Living Maths (lower basics), so that everyone could learn at their own level.
Every system has it's advantages and disadvantages. Having experienced both now, albiet from opposite perspectives (student, then teacher) I think it is easier over all for teachers to move between classrooms. It's certainly faster! Teachers don't dawdle to waste time in the corridors, and students can't use the excuse that they were late because they couldn't find x book! When I was at school we'd leave our classroom, go back to our bags, exchange books for the next class, then head to the classroom (which could have students walking from one end of the school to the other to return to their bags or to their classrooms or both, and all of which encompassed a lot of chat and mucking around). And if students stay in the classroom there is no mucking around of students in corridors between classes, where often all sorts of bullying and mischief happens.
Although in Middle School in South Korea, you essentially walk into the *students'* classroom, where the students have just finished a 10 minutes break (Korea has 10 minutes break between every class - nice, eh? 😂), so you walk in and have to settle the kids down. In Australia we settle the kids down BEFORE they go into the classroom, then they walk in calmly and orderly, which is better for discipline, and you can start teaching immediately. I've walked into some rather...boisterous activity in South Korean classrooms on occasion, particularly in a boys only school! And it often takes up to 5 minutes to settle them down to learn! It's a lot easier to settle them down while they're standing in the corridor! And settling them down is a lot more difficult when you speak only a beginner level of their language!! 🤣🤣
@@fransmith3255 Yes! I totally agree.
And I also feel like the students care a lot more about keeping the class clean and tidy when that’s where they’ll be every single day.
@@DeniseRafih True. In Australia we take a, "If you make a mess then you're cleaning it up in your OWN free time" kind of approach, which generally works. 🤣 Kids generally dislike missing out on play or social time. Although most teachers kind of try to avoid the need for that because student free time is also often teacher relax time...
My school in Dubai was the "Stay in one room" type. It was great! My desk was mine for the whole schoolyear, and so the storage underneath became my locker for books I'm too lazy to carry to/from the student lockers in the hallways.
I've taught English in Japan and the school system is really strict with appearance so that poster is probably examples of "proper" uniform/haircuts. Also students are all responsible for cleaning so they don't get to leave the school until the cleaning has been done. Primary school kids also are responsible for setting up each classroom to have a meal in the classroom, I'm guessing that would be hard to program in the game so that's probably why it's outside. There's no cafeteria until they get to middle school.
Hint: make good use of your training! As you add more rooms, you'll end up with a management problem that will stop you building more rooms, because there's a bit of a hierarchy thing: you have to build management rooms and put in a manager with management proficiency, then your classroom teachers also need management skills in order to increase class size. I made good use of that training room when I got it and kept it full of teachers being trained at all times. I started training my teachers early on teaching proficiency which got my grades perfect, but I didn't train management, then I ended up in a bit of a stagnant pickle because I didn't train management. If your management levels are too low, you end up with very stressed teachers. And much worse, you also end up not being able to build more rooms if your management proficiencies are not high enough (see the flow chart icon on the left of your screen and check out the proficiency numbers there). That would particularly be bad if it's a new classroom that you need to build...🙂 Train both teaching AND management.
PS: all my low level training incapable people ended up being foodies and security and researchers, lol.
57:00 Teachers probably got paid, then new semester funds were added, but only after being technically bankrupt (funds went red temporarily)
Aah, yes, you might well be right. So really that's a cunning way to get a free 10k!
Did anyone else realize that the “1000” statue turned into “2000”?? The description did say that it would change as the game was reviewed on steam…
I noticed! :)
Put some umbrella stands in the hallways
the important stat for anyone who is head of an office, including head researchers and homeroom teachers is the management skill. Also at the first town you visit on the map has a place for your staff to visit to get more 'glasses' points-the more 'glasses' points they have, the further they can train. It's a bit pricey-$10k per 10 points, and takes some time but it's worth it to get ppl trained to maximum. I suggest sending yourself there first to max out, then Ms. Lin, then whoever has the next highest level of 'glasses' points and down the line.
And in general, training up management gets them certificates to be "qualified" for heading offices. You could get a staff member with high mgmt skill, but still be unqualified-so you need to train them up too.
In Asia. Typically the teachers will move to the class. Where students will stay in the same classroom. My wife grew up in Hong Kong.
To get internal recommendations for teachers, you select the subject area and then press search to get one recommended teacher of the type you need. It will always be blank until you press search in the top right.
I think the reason the research room was colder then the other rooms because it is smaller then the others
That was fun! 😃 I like that there are more who need a nice home. You could put more beds out for them. I noticed that Panda likes to sleep in the kitty beds too.
🤔I wonder if it would be easier down the road" to have the classrooms numbered a bit differently. Maybe have first year class 1-1 and second year 2-1 and third year 3-1. I think the first and third year classes are the opposite now. Just a suggestion to help in future. Maybe. 🙃
Oh game, Penge needs no excuse to put many lovely plants in all the rooms. Many decorations please! 😂🎉
I am LOVING this series! one thing: you forgot to confirm the logo change for the year 2 class. they're still a roman numeral II and not cute froggies 😅🐸
Love the episode and love the show with the same name
Your school looks so cool
Windows help increasing facility scores greatly. Please add more windows. :)
I think you're getting shafted with those prices
24:19 36.7°C at 7am??? *dies*
I'd be dead right there with you, just two sad puddles at 7am.
*facepalms as they do not read the advanced training only allows more people to train at once* Also replace bad things with nicer things for "Facilities," but this again is an old broadcast so likely done later even if not here. Appearance poster is a "dress code" poster.
42:32 What were you'se talkin' about!? Dey are a perfectly *legitimate* business and not in da family tryin' to bri...I mean "gift" ya monies, ifyaknowwhatImean....
