Ichiro Inagaki (Kanagawa Prefectural Shonan Senior High School):It is a school that came to Kanagawa prefecture without any special features, and has not been designated as SSH or SGH.It advocates both Bunbu and Budo, and the club activity participation rate exceeds 200%. The sports festival in September has been held with the same philosophy (usually, constantly, correctly, and strongly) since the school opened (Taisho 10), and like the national high school, it emphasizes storylines.I will do my best day and night with the detailed guidance of my seniors, and after the end, I will switch to the examination mode.Parents always ask me if I will be in time for the exam, but I have in common that I value club activities and events with other public schools that I gather today, so I will use the power I have cultivated there to study. , Has also achieved results.In the future, teachers called Takumi will leave the retirement age, so the challenge is how to train teachers in their mid-30s.

In the president's talk, the premise of freedom was dialogue, but in terms of emphasizing that, there is an affinity between the efforts to foster the independence of our students and the academic style of Kyoto University. Probably because of this, 12 people were taken care of this year.The number of aspirants to Kyoto University is almost the same as that of aspirants to the University of Tokyo, but many students are attracted to research.At our school, the fact that alumni are recommending may have led to an increase in the number of students going to Kyoto University.I think that Jito is the top in Kanagawa, so I would like to raise 10 more graduates from Kyoto University.

 
Akihiro Momose (Chiba Prefectural Funabashi High School):(I was at the Education Center until last year, but I think that the students in Chiba generally do not try to cross the Edo River and have not taken off from Narita.) Our school has 70 class for science and mathematics and 120 classes for regular courses. SSH also includes regular courses.However, in the regular course, many students stop their inquiry activities after three years, and the problem is that there is no continuity. "Aim for Koshien!In "The Insatiable Challenge of the Baseball Club" (Timely Editorial Department), our school is working hard at a high level so that we must be serious and never make a fool of people.On the other hand, there are no rough edges. 14% of the students are active students and school-dependent students.The club activity participation rate is more than 5%, and four people passed Kyoto University last year.This year too, XNUMX or XNUMX people will take the exam.After all, our school is also divided into the University of Tokyo type and Kyoto University type.

 
Masao Suzuki (Chiba Prefectural Chiba High School):Regarding English classes, I was teaching in Japanese when I arrived, but the English teacher who arrived with me formed a group of three with the same idea and communicated, and it continued for up to 134 years. I taught.As a result, all the current XNUMXrd year students are now actively speaking during class, which seems to be a good stimulus for classes in other subjects.The results of the mock exams haven't dropped, so I can expect the university entrance exams this spring.The club activity participation rate is XNUMX%.I have always doubted that the entrance examination reform can really be realized.However, recently, I have begun to feel the seriousness of the policy makers.

 
Yamagiwa:I often equate the ability to communicate and communicate in English, but I think it's better to think separately.Speaking in English can improve communication skills, but in communication skills, while thinking about the other person's position and feelings, select materials from your own drawer and use them well to make a story. It is an ability to communicate and can be trained in Japanese.

Suzuki: When it comes to communication skills in that sense, there are quite a lot of students who have problems.Many students seem to lack actual experience before and after enrollment, and I feel that we need to have more experiences.

Yamagiwa:In the UK and Germany, the presentation ability is emphasized and they are practiced at universities and high schools.Even if the Japanese have an opinion, they need to be trained because they have a weak ability to assemble and complete the story in their minds and speak it in public.

Suzuki:I think our English class plays that role well.Inquiry activities are undertaken through integrated learning.The results presentation is held at the beginning of September every year, and the Chiba High Nobel Prize is given in four fields.As I mentioned last year, I would like you to take a look at the special entrance examination.Perhaps because the school spirit is similar to that of Kyoto University, 14 students passed this spring.Isn't it the highest ever?One of them is a special entrance examination.

Speaking of free school spirit, after the entrance ceremony, the director of the life guidance department (the director of the student guidance department at other schools) is supposed to talk to parents, but this year, "Freedom is not what you want to do, but yourself. It's up to you to decide. "In the learning coordinator business, graduate students have come for the third consecutive year.Also, on my school trip to Kyoto, I invite active Kyoto University students to talk to my accommodation every year.

Takeshi Sugiyama (Saitama Prefectural Urawa High School):It's been XNUMX years since I became the principal.Our motto has been to nurture tough, kind and empathetic people, but I feel that we are finally in an era where its true value can be demonstrated.Club activities are thriving, and the rugby club goes to the flower garden at the national level, and some of the graduates are active in the American football club of Kyoto University.We are also active in internationalization and are making various efforts, but in the efforts to participate in the summer seminar at the University of Michigan, all students do except coordination.Speaking of freedom, I think there are gray, black, and white in education, but now the gray part, that is, the area related to individual discretion, is narrowed, and students can decide what they have to decide. There is a strong tendency to follow what the authority says without thinking about it.

At our school, for example, even when a typhoon is approaching, we leave it to the individual to make his / her own judgment, "Ensure the safety of yourself and others, and think for yourself."This is because I am keenly aware that it is important to teach responsibility as well as freedom in today's education in Japan.I rushed to 11 American universities this summer and was very inspired by the fact that all the students were trying to develop the imagination of life.Universities are made to think about what their strengths are and how to contribute to the university and society by making use of them, and they also evaluate them.We take pride in doing so at our school, but when we consider whether we are really asking each and every one of us, I feel that it is still not enough.

One of the key concepts of high school connection reform is the imaginative power of life.In high school, I am enthusiastic about how to put it on, but I hope that the university's attempt to see such points in the special entrance exams will be an opportunity to open a hole in the education so far.When I listen to everyone's stories, I feel the same smell from the schools gathered here, including Shonan and Nishitaka.

I myself renewed my feeling that we should cherish the basic parts that are common to your school and evolve with confidence.At Kyoto University, 13 people have been taken care of this spring, and in recent years it has been constantly keeping the 10 level.One of the causes may be going to Kyoto on a school trip, but as globalization progresses, we are sticking to Kyoto as a school trip destination.Also, in the last lecture by the principal of the second semester last year, I introduced the story that President Yamagiwa spoke at this time, trying to challenge something interesting in the sense of creating while having a dialogue. The students who passed the report came to report that they would become interesting people.
