Our children will go to the local public elementary school. It is approximately 100 meters from our house and it is the same school my husband, my brother in law and my father in law went to. My oldest son, Noah, will start elementary school in April 2016 which is less than 18 months away. I am not prepared at all for sending my children to school. I guess I am a little bit nervous because some of the points the article lists are a completely different system to what I am used to. I also never went to public school. In Australia I went to Catholic primary and high school. There are many things that are different about schooling here. I am hoping we have a smooth experience.
【質問】 1. If you were living abroad, would you send your child to the local school? 2. Do you think Japanese public elementary school would be a good fit for an all foreign family? 3. It is often said that Japanese public schools create a lot of work for parents. Do you think it would be hard for someone with little or no Japanese to send their children to the local school? 4. In point number 9, they mention juku starting in grade 4. Do you think juku is necessary to get into a good junior high school? 5. What do you think is the best thing about Japanese elementary schools? What about the worst?
