Japanese school in your opinion?

Question:

i have heard from my friends that used to live in japan, that they prevent their kids from entering Japanese school for the education. They prefer to let their kids into international school. Is that right that many foreigners are disagree with Japanese methods for education? if that so, can you give me the reason?

thanks for answering, i have been wondering quite a long time, cause i have opened many sites for japanese school and i think there isn't any problem, yet i think it's really surprising that they have well-prepared teaching materials for students.

i'm also quite surprised that most of schools in tokyo still encourage their students to attend schools although there are many issues about earthquake, radiation and power cut.

Answer:

Most foreigners who are living in Japan with children are in Japan with children who are already old enough to be in school and do not understand Japanese. So of course they will send their children to international schools rather than Japanese schools. It has nothing to do with the education methods of Japan. Children of parents who live permanently in Japan are much more likely to go to local schools because they have grown up understanding the language.

Earthquakes are nothing new in Japan. No one blinks an eye at them. Tokyo was NOT hard-hit by the earthquake OR the tsunami. Radiation is also NOT a problem and the only one who thinks it is is the Western scare-media. And because school goes on during the day when there is this thing called the sun shining into classrooms, there is no need to deprive children of an education just because of some temporary power cuts (not outages as these cuts are on *purpose*).

What? No, they don't.
