[91] Topic 3: Bad for You　Name：Asahi Masataka　NEW!　Date：2012/05/22(火) 21:13　

I think that companies which sells various products do not have to be responsible for some problems that those who bought a product caused damage to themselves complained. Companies should pay attention to the safe of their products, but they cannot suppose that any danger of incorrectly used ones. Companies should not be responsible for the danger but consumers should.

As is the case with tobacco, we have known the tobacco's danger or harm to our bodies since our early childhood. In other words, at the same time that we smoke, we agree with that smoking can cause damage to our bodies. Because those who smokes likes to smoke, although they understand the risks, they should take responsibility for the bad effects on their own bodies and non-smoking people around them. The same thing can be said about liquor, junk food and so on.

In the case with social network games, companies do not have to take responsibility for any bad effects. Originally, social network games have good aspects, for example, people playing them can connect others. Companies supplying these good tools should be praised, not be blamed. The problem coming into question which social network games play a roll to　dating service for the young is not due to companies, but users.

I think we tend to easily attribute various risks of products to companies. We should realize how important people's will to use products correctly.

I think that the sale side does not need to take responsibility for the problems such as overweight or diabetes and so on, even if they sell some products which do harm to our health. It is because that those causes are not only the products. It may be caused by goods of other companies, eating too much or time of eating. Moreover, regardless of meals or smoking, lack of exercise or lack of sleeping became the reason for our illness. Do you think that you should blame such companies for overweight or suffering from diabetes or other illnesses?

We can choose a product from many ones. We can decide to buy the product of the company. Of course you have the right too. We are able to know whether that product is bad for us or not.

My cousin was fat when he was a child. He liked to eat and had a lot of food. However, when he became a high school students and he became belong to a club the members took exercise, he became thin just then. This meant that he had taken less exercise as a child than today with the result that he gained weight.

After all it is important for us to control ourselves. When we suffer from diabetes or other disease and grow fat, we have responsibility for this problem. We have to appealing to ourselves, before we sue a company or the sale side for that. “Whether we usually take care of ourselves so that we do not became sick.”

I don’t agree with the idea that School children should be grouped according to their levels of academic achievement rather than to their ages. I have three reasons for it.
The first reason is that school children should learn helping each other as well as they study. It is true that grouping school children according to their levels of academic achievement is efficient on studying, but it is not efficient on learning to cooperate with classmates. If children are grouped in that way, children in each level of academic achievement classes may not help other children; their hands are full of studying for their selves and they cannot afford to teach others study.
The second reason is that children must acquire culture at school. Even if some child is good at math, English, science, and social studies, they cannot become a working member of society. They need to undergo various human experiences for a long time and become persons with common sense, so school children should be grouped according to their ages.
The third reason is that comparing school children only by evaluating their performances is not good. They should be also respected their personalities and characters. Therefore I don’t think we should focus on schoolchildren’s performances when they are grouped. If children are grouped based on their grades, they will recognize their levels of academic achievement is more important than their personalities or characters. In other words, if only children are doing well at school, they don’t care about how to behave in their lives or how to get along with other people.
That’s why I don’t agree with the idea.

I disagree with the opinion of children being grouped according to their levels of academic achievement. It is better for them to study with the same age. There are four reasons.

First, academic achievement doesn't mean intelligence. Some are good at art, others sports. An academic achievement test can't measure the student's ability of the fields other than the knowledge. There should be students with various characteristics in the group. It have students acquire an liberal arts.

Second, I have heard the news that if we collect students with same degree of academic achievement, It must follow that some students dropout. That is to say the original purpose to group children is not fulfilled.

Third, In my experience I enjoyed student life in junior high school. The students of public school are collected without an examination. I learned various values from them. A few students find job when they graduated from junior high school. On the other hand high schools are often grouped according to the levels of academic achievement in Japan. Almost all students of a high school I went to entered university. The experience in junior high school can't be gained.

Finally, Thomas Edison is regarded as one of the greatest inventors, but he wasn't regarded as genius by his teacher in his childhood. This tells us that not bounded by common sense and practicing is important. I can't help thinking that today's examinations lack this idea.

I hope that children grow up through various experience and without bounded by the knowledge. These are reasons why I disagree with that opinion.

I greatly approve of this opinion. Because the system to determine grades with levels of academic achievement is the way that high-achieving students not only have merits, but also poor-achieving students have profits. Under the present system of the grade division based on the age, generally, even if a student does not understand the contents learned in the grade, it will be able to go on to the following grade. With the contents of study of a front grade not understood, although the contents of the following grade are tackled, the student cannot understand, and if the situation is piled up, the student will fall into the state where the contents learned in school cannot understand at all.
I was working at a part-time job as a lecturer in the cram school now, and I met a high school student who was in the very situation. Since she asked me about her mathematical homework, I was seen the problem but I was really surprised. The problem was that as easy as an exam of first-year student level in a junior high school and she cannot solve even elementary multiplication enough. I thought she is a victim of present educational system, then. Probably, when she could not understand the contents of study, she consulted her teacher repeatedly, but she has moved up to the next grade as passed the time without understanding the learning contents at all.
The system which is not promoted is required until the contents of the present grade are understood, also in order not to increase a miserable student any more like her.

I agree with the idea that school children should be grouped according to their levels of academic achievement rather than by their ages. There are two reasons why I say so.

First, by doing so, teachers are able to teach smoothly and students are also able to take lessons smoothly. If school children are not grouped according to their levels of academic achievement, teachers are difficult to teach because teachers would not be able to see whether they teach basic problems or difficult problems and students would be able to study steadily at their own pace. When I was a elementary school, I went to a clam school, so I was more intellectual than other students. I was too bored to take lessons with other students. I knew everything that teachers taught. I solved math problems more quickly. I waited for other students to finish solving them. I experience such situation, so I agree with this opinion.

Secondly, most countries in which children’s academic achievement are higher than Japanese children agree with this opinion. Japanese government do not agree this opinion by saying “It is discrimination.” I think that such notion leads Japanese children to typically Japanese totalitarianism, following the crowd. Japanese young people today do not have the frontier spirit. For example, most of them do not study abroad or do not set up a business. In short, they do not have an ambition, so I think that Japanese educational system needs to change.

For the reasons stated above, I agree with this opinion.

I do not think that school children should be grouped according to their levels of academic achievement rather than by their ages. If school children are grouped by their ages, it is easy for students to make friends. If school children are grouped according to their levels of academic achievement, it is easy for a teacher to teach it to students. The former is for students; the latter is for a teacher. When we think about students, the former is better than the latter.

It may be true that school children being grouped according to their levels of academic achievement are good for their studying, but these let the learning will of the learner decline and gives a feeling of discrimination. When a child who is not good at studying any subjects is grouped a class of a latest level of academic achievement, his learning will of the learner declines and gives a feeling of discrimination. One of the good points of class grouped by school children’s ages is that they can relate various people and they can get new viewpoints. Another of the good points of the class is that a child who is good at studying can lierne a lot of things by a child who is not good at studying.

It is difficult to divide distinction or differentiation. You must not discriminate against a child. It is the most important that you do not discriminate. Children will be brought up in good health if they do not discriminate.

[84] Topic 2:Academic Achievement vs. Age　　Name：Hiroki Kimura　Date：2012/05/17(木) 23:10　

I agree this opinion.

When children are grouped according to their levels of academic achievement,it is very good for both teachers and children.Their levels are much various than we think.

Fiest,on the view of teachers,they can teach children easily and well.This point is the most important for them because they try to teach children hard.They don’t have to care about differences of children’s study.It is efficient for teachers to teach children a lot of subjects.Thanks to them,education level will be more and more good.

Second,on the view of children,they can study a lot of subjects in their levels.Thanks to it,they get good conditions to concentrate on study.For example,children who get low score can study efficientlyand teachers teach them carefully.They will be able to get good score if it succeeds.For example,children who get good score can study a lot of subjects which are more difficult than usual ones.They will be able to much good score.Like these,it is good for every child.

Finally, is it the perfect way they teach children in that way?The answer is no .The problem is that there are much differences in the same age between children who get good score and children who get low score.This situation is bad.And if this continues for a long time,there are much gaps in the future.For example,they try to work at office.it may effect on children's future.

Like these,it is good for both children and teachers,I agree this opinion.But,taking much gaps into consideration,we must think education system again to improve chidren’s study.

I think that school children should be grouped according to their ages. Especially, in elementary schools, they must not be grouped according to their levels of academic achievement. There are two reasons why I think so.

The first reason is a physical factor. In schools, children learn not only academic things but also physical things. For example, they have physical education classes in schools. If they are grouped according to their academic levels, this class contains children who are various ages and the physical education class can't be formed. Children's physical growths are not related to their levels of academic achievement.

The second reason is a mental factor. School children learn also ethical things in schools. Even if a very young child has a high academic level, he cannot behave like an adult without ethical lessons in school. In order to master manners which are accepted in society, children should come in contact with people who have a variety of levels of academic achievement. However high children's academic levels are, unless they have good mental levels, they cannot live in society.

That is why I disagree the opinion that school children should be grouped according to their levels of academic achievement rather than by their ages. But I think grouping according to their levels of academic achievement also has a few sense. In a class like this, children compete with their classmates in studies. I hope that educational facilities will combine good points of both opinion to develop our academy, our society.

I agree with grouping school children according to their levels of academic achievement.
I have two reasons why I insist.

First reason is to adapt to a stream of globalization. Now the world becomes more international than before and we need to foster the children who influence on the world. Especially young people are the most eager to study abroad or get a job in a foreign country for the past five years. Though now many schools are grouping children according to their English levels, I think that it matches to the current tendency.

Second reason is for many children to hope to be divided into some classes. For example, my junior high school grouped children into three classes according to our levels of academic achievement in math lesson. In a development class, the students were taught practical in addition to textbook and in a standard class, the students were taught questions of standard level and in a basic class, the students were taught basic questions and standard questions. Students in each class felt comfortable for lessons to go on smoothly in their applicable levels. For another example, my sister has studied English since she was a kindergartner. I think that there are many children like my sister. If children are grouped by their ages, a teacher will have a difficult teaching because of various children’s levels and inexperienced students will also have trouble with English to differ from around the people.

This is why I agree with grouping school children according to their levels of academic achievement.
