Great teacher! All teachers should be like him! It’s very developing thing to ask the children about their feelings, emotions.

It’s uncommon for Oriental teachers to teach like this.East Asian teachers are very strict towards students,especially Japanese and Chinese teachers.Asian parents also put a lot of pressure on their children.Asian children have to learn many things from an early age.Many Asian parents and teachers don’t know that their teaching methods are destroying their children.They should not limit their children’s happiness and freedom.

the hardest one to teach children is the way of life…..death is a part of life……what a great teacher…….
Truly remarkable, …
Truly remarkable, that Toshiro Kanamori. I wonder whether or not the same children progress through their school years together, too, a situation that has been proven to be beneficial to their development, as in the Waldorf Schools, rather than be thrown in with different classmates every year ~ (•8-D

a truly inspired man. if only we all had exposure to teaching like this. thank you for sharing his story with us all
If I could, I would …
If I could, I would nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. He deserves it. You have no idea, how BIG this is in Japan. Japanese hide everything from others and they disconnect from their emotions. He’s done something amazing. Truly amazing.

We need more teachers like this here in Japan.

At least there is …
At least there is one Japanese teacher who doesn’t pressure the kids to the point that they off themselves.
Anyway, fem groups …
Anyway, fem groups and stuff is annoying because women are treated equal already, women dont know that being a woman is good… It is important, I feel like most women feel they have to live up to men, be strong as men, be tough and act all manly… Fem groups are pretty much anti women groups… As far as voting and stuff, cool, equal pay, if its the same job… Makes sense to me lol
But nowdays… Whats there to fight for? The more they try to be men, the farther away they get from the goal
well you said men …
well you said men are naturally more outspoken. Can deal with stress in a less dramatic and won’t emotions get in the way of a choice in some situations. I mean we’re really not that different there, imo.
Notice I didnt say …
Notice I didnt say weaker… I said their decesions would be based on different things. For example, many girls will watch a war movie, and only feel upset when an animal dies off to the side, that isent really good example, I understand… But do you understand? Im sorry I cant explain better.
BUT, women and men are not better then one another, but who can disagree that men are physically stronger on average? But what man on average could ever give their child as much love as a mother???
nah, that’s not …
nah, that’s not right. We got tons of female leaders out there. I think it’s more the fact that they just don’t like to take as many chances. But they aren’t at all weaker than us when it comes to taking decisions. That’s an unfair claim.
In all respect to …
In all respect to women, because I dont give a crap if your a man or woman. I judge people by the individual. But most commonly, men are more of a leader, naturally more outspoken, deals with stress in a less dramatic way. Wont let emotions get in the way of a choice in some situations. Like they said, men are naturally more dominant. Women are naturally more submissive, loving, caring. But what these women dont get is, that dosent make you less, its not bad, we both need EACHOTHER! Yin Yang =D
There are several …
There are several places where women do get smaller payment than men in the general picture. Still I do agree with your statement there. For example the reason we have more male leaders is a matter of daring. Women don’t take as many changes as men do.
The kids made me …
The kids made me cry.
It’s very nice to see a teacher like this. More connected to the students compared to America and other places.
