Emi : She is 33 years old and has a son. She and her husband are full-time workers, so they can’t take care about their children. She agreed the idea because of a decline in the scholastic ability of students.
Mayu : She is an elementary school student. She like her school and wants to go school on Saturday, because she can’t study at her home. She is poor, so she doesn’t go crime school. That is why she agreed with the idea.
Miyabi : She is 40 years old and a housewife. She has two children. She was a teacher, but now she is busy to look after her mother. She thinks it is good for children to reduce usual classes and then move them on Saturday because they can concentrate on studying more. She agreed with the topic.
Shinnichi : He is 14 years old and a junior high school student. He disagreed. He goes to a crime school now, so he wants rests. And one of the reasons he disagrees is that he want to spend holiday with his family.
Keiko : She is 30 years old and has a husband who is teacher and two children. Her son goes a crime school to be a doctor and at the same time belongs to soccer team. He can’t spend on their time and they don’t have time with family.
These days, education that aims at development of individual talent rather than learning by rote is big problem. So I agree with the idea that Japanese elementary and junior high school students should go to school on Saturday twice a month and in the morning. If the system were introduced, Children could study more and as Miyabi said, they could concentrate on studying. It cost less than crime school and there are not big problems because it takes in the morning. I think their consensus is good.
