Cram School Unnecessary

Thursday, June twenty first, two thousand and seven

When it comes to our children's education, my wife is prone to be an extremely education-minded mother, actually. She asked me if it's OK to have our eldest son go to a cram school. In Japan most junior high school students are often go to cram schools in order to enter high-level high schools. Frankly speaking, I don't think it's a good idea for kids to often spend time studying that much. Therefore, I replied to her, "In my opinion, your idea is a sort of waste of money and time. He has a lot of things to do such as playing outside and help me work in my factory. Those things are real study cases, I think."
