Morikami: After listening to everyone's story, do you have any comments from the president?

Yamagiwa: Kyoto University is not just looking for sharp students from the beginning.One way is to go to college, try various things, and find your way out of them.The graduate school is more national than the undergraduate school, and the laboratory I was in came from the liberal arts, so I can change my course even from the graduate school, and I have several chances to change myself.From the perspective of people from the Kanto region, Kyoto is like a foreign country, and you can't understand its culture without experiencing it.When I'm young, I think it's important to get away from the environment that is ingrained in your body and experience different cultures.For that purpose, going abroad is one option, but Kyoto may be a kind of foreign country for people in the Kanto region.

Talk about career choices

XNUMX: Think about student independence

Yamagiwa: It was said that parents' opinions are strong in choosing a career path, especially in girls' schools, but many parents also participate in the entrance ceremony of the university.Parents come to both the graduation ceremony and the degree conferment ceremony.Is it an era in which the expectations of parents have a great influence on the course, unlike our time?At Kaisei, it is said that the course is left to the wishes of the students, but does that already reflect the intentions of the parents?I would like to hear the opinions of the teachers.

Yoshino: Most of the values ​​of students who have just entered junior high school are given to their parents. I've been thinking, "I just need to study," "I just want to get a score," "I'm scolded for a bad score," and "I don't want to see my parents' lonely faces, so I have to study hard." That's why it's unavoidable, but I can't stand on my own forever.Therefore, at our school, we have created a "curriculum for student guidance" before studying, and strive to break down the framework created by parents and the values ​​given by parents and show each and every one of the diverse values ​​outside the framework. There is.By breaking the vertical relationship once and respecting each other in the horizontal relationship and the relationship with friends, you will be aware of your existence value and have a sense of self-affirmation. I think it will be possible in 80 years.If you don't do this, your parents will have a lot of influence and you will end up choosing a course that your parents have decided. More than XNUMX% of students said they would choose a university based on their academic content, but only one said they would follow their parents' opinions with the same statistics.I think that is one of the reasons why the number of students who are willing to go to rural areas for what they want to do is increasing even at girls' schools.

Yamagiwa: That's wonderful.

Morikami: How about a boys' school?

Sugiyama: The problem of parents and the problem of independence are problems that we must seriously consider.It is said that a famous private university in Osaka introduced a system to provide parents with information such as attendance and grades from next year.As a reaction of young people, positive ones that it is natural because parents are paying money and negative ones that not only can not take a break but also delays independence were introduced.

At our school, we believe that clues to independence can be obtained by getting to know yourself by interacting with friends, and training and polishing yourself in it.No tripartite interviews will be held, but instead two-party interviews with students will be held five or six times a year.This is because the dynamics work strongly when there are parents.Tell the students that it is unavoidable to confront their parents to convince them of their course, provide parents as much information as possible at the parent-teacher association, and grow up in dynamism with their peers. Therefore, I am telling you that I want you to watch over without saying too much.If I listen to my parents, I will go to college for the time being, but I will not always be able to live a strong life for the next 20 or 30 years.
Yanagisawa: Regardless of the entrance and graduation ceremonies, I don't think it is desirable for parents to go in and out of the educational scene during that time.Since our school is a bunkara school in a sense, children begin to leave their parents immediately after enrollment.It's fun to join club activities, where I listen to various stories from my seniors and read various books.However, parents, especially mothers, often cannot leave their children.Especially boys will be lonely because they can't talk at home during the rebellious period.

Therefore, there is an arbitrary parent-teacher association for each region, regardless of grade, where mothers can exchange information.For example, if you are a middle school parent, you can rest assured that the gang age will end by the time you enter high school.It's very popular that you don't have to complain to your mom friends at other schools and end up saying "I'm not good because I'm going to Kaisei".Recently, we have increased the number of female school counselors to accommodate their mothers as much as possible.Since there is no class visit and only athletic meet, school festival and graduation ceremony can participate, we are trying to diversify the information route.

Kazama: The training camp event may be a burden to the teachers, but middle 6 is taken to an orientation camp for one night and two days in June.By leaving the classroom, you can learn completely differently from when you are in the classroom, and the faces and behaviors of the students will change before and after you go.You say that you will be able to associate with your friends and you will find that your parents are moving away from you.In the summer of middle XNUMXnd, accommodation training will be held in the Gotenba classroom.
Morikami: Professor Yamagiwa is known as a leading researcher in gorilla research in the world, but a word about gorilla parenting.
Yamagiwa: The gorilla's separation from the child is really vivid.When the mother stops sucking the milk, the mother leaves it to the father and becomes completely unrelated.

Morikami: What is your relationship with your father, the gorilla?

Yamagiwa: It will continue forever.However, when she is adolescent, she wants to smoke her father and goes out.I'll make up later.Males have difficulty struggling with their father.Humans and boys may be more problematic.The story of the principals is not unrelated to the university.

Suzuki: In many cases where students cannot go to school, there is something wrong with the parent-child relationship, or there is no discussion between the parent and child.

Ohno: I think it's the same in many metropolitan high schools, but mothers who didn't face the independence of their children because they took high school exams until junior high school struggled because they couldn't get rid of their children well in high school.Students also manage to overcome it, although they generally struggle, but even at our school, about XNUMX% still find it difficult.It's natural that there is a conflict, and how should I tell you not to worry because you can quarrel?

Morikami: Is there a difference between men and women?

Ohno: No.

Miyamoto: The poor thing about children today is that they have no escape in the nuclear family.If you have grandparents, you can ask them to lie down or run away, but you will face them head-on.

Yamagiwa: I don't have a chance to learn the experience and knowledge of older generations because I don't have a relationship with the neighborhood.

Miyamoto: At our school, we hold meetings with parents and principals about twice a year.You can come to the principal's office freely, and I will go around for 10 to 10 minutes, including about 15 teachers, until the bell rings.Currently, there are about 250 parents, 25% of all students.

Kazama: I hold a Bible study group for parents almost every month.Although he is not a Bible scholar, he also talks about life science on that occasion.It's free participation, but more than 100 parents come every time because it's interesting. Talk about the Bible for an hour, then decide the grade every month and have the parents stay.Yesterday, about 40 out of XNUMX parents remained.Everyone speaks one word at a time, so you can directly hear the parent-child relationship and the problems that parents and students have.As always, I want my child to leave early and not be self-fulfilling.I think it is gradually spreading.The same thing is said at the school information session, but I'm glad that the number of parents who did not choose our school based on the deviation value is increasing.
