How to cultivate a challenging spirit-participating schools are now

 
Sugiyama:16 people were taken care of by Kyoto University this year as well. I felt that the globalization of Kyoto University, such as the "Yoshida College Concept", is steadily progressing.I feel that the university is doing various things to increase the number of young people who take on the challenge, which is the theme of today, and at the same time, I feel that it still remains a major issue in high school.

The overall impression is that today's students are afraid of failure and have a tendency to be stable, but I think that is also the case with parents.Various gimmicks are needed to overcome this, but since our school is a boys' school, we are making various efforts to "challenge unreasonable challenges."One of them is the Furukawa Kouho Tournament, which walks 50 kilometers in 7 hours.As you challenge these efforts with your friends, you will gradually develop a mindset to take on challenges.

We also hold sports competitions all year round.There will always be a team of teachers in the class match, but they are very strong and are just a shield to overcome themselves.It is also important for teachers to show pride in this way.I think it is important for the school to create various mechanisms and work to change the awareness of parents.

 
Inagaki:The number of third-year students aspiring to Kyoto University is increasing, and I think that less than 3 people will be accepted next year.It is a very good stimulus for seniors to come back and talk to me when choosing a career path, but I heard that it is interesting for Kyoto University students to talk about research and do various things that interest them. To do.I am very grateful to the high school side for listening to the story of "Omoro Challenge" again today and saying that the university has adopted the idea of ​​letting students think about everything on their own. ..

Our school's athletic festival is also a big project to be created by students alone. The third grader will take over at this time of the second year and spend a year to build it by themselves.There is also something to look at in the huge manual for handing over.We believe that creating it with only the students greatly contributes to the development of invisible power.Because of that, when the athletic festival is over, I hurry to change gears and start studying for entrance exams.

As a principal, I feel that the number of children who are afraid of failure is increasing a little, so I think it will be very important from now on what to do to overcome the hurdle. ..

 
Yoshino:Many of today's children are afraid of failure and go straight on the rails laid by their parents.If you are not good at it, you may grow up straight without looking around and without failing.So, from about 15 years ago, in the third year of junior high school, which is the first half of adolescence, we decided to support various support that should be done at home at school as student guidance and life guidance, and now we are finally on track. ..

Specifically, we will change seats once every three days.Create an environment where you can collide with children with different values, realize that your own values ​​given by your parents are not the only ones that are correct, and overcome them so that you can act with others with different values. By making it, I want you to grow up to be a child who is not afraid of failure while taking on challenges.In addition, by incorporating assertion (self-expression) training and improving communication skills, tomorrow's people from countries with different cultures and historical views, crossing classes, grades, schools, and even borders. I hope that the ability to create a peaceful world together will grow.

The globalization that our school thinks is not to say that you should do your best because you lose to international competition, but to develop your qualities to act with the next child with different values ​​and to play an active part in the world. I think it's about expanding outside and developing a background that allows us to take a step forward and take on challenges.I think this will also lead to a change in the consciousness of students who think that they should have taken on a little more challenge at the entrance stage.
