Brilliantly written and spot-on accurate
18. Juli 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
There is no greater determinant of modern culture (in any society) than its education system. As the average parent doesn't have the motivation or inclination to raise, intellectually, his or her child, it is left to the school system to do this hideously complicated task. In all industrialized nations, there exists the responsibility to mold citizens into forms suitable for the purposes of the State; in Japan, this task is undertaken with a zeal and level of systematization without peer in the non-communist world.
Rohlen's study of the high school system there touches on everything: political origins of the system, physical architecture of schools, the (already infamous) national examination system, the teachers' union and its endless (pointless) struggles against the Ministry of Education, social lives and adolescent development of the students, instruction styles and classroom atmosphere, etc. Field work at 5 totally distinct high schools in Kobe provides first-hand accounts of school organization and teacher-student relationships.
Rohlen clearly wants to give a balanced account of his research, and does so by interjecting appropriate comparisons with American schools at key points. Indeed, it is his goal that the book provide a important perspective for American educators -- a look at the Japanese education system as "a mirror, not a model" for our own system. In this respect he succeedes fantastically. However, it is clear as the book continues that he is shocked and appalled at the nature of the education system widely regarded (in the 1970s and 80s, at least) as one of the best in the world.
Still, the book's finale is a sudden rebound from the logical conclusion he seems to be driving toward. The final paragraphs of the book appear to come, indeed, from left field. The author admits in the Introduction that his analysis is heavily weighted toward a comparative study with American schools; he has no experience with the education of any other nation. In this sense, the Conclusion is a bit hasty. There are more than two education systems in the world, and there are more than two ideologies covering them. If the desired result is some amalgam of the Japanese and American systems, it would be wise to look at some systems which already practice precisely that; the national education systems of the Scandinavian countries come to mind.
Finally, however, the book is immensely well-written, obvservant, and fair. Nothing the author claims is left to the reader to take on faith -- it is all backed up with documented statistics (not too many of these, don't take offense yet), interviews, and first-hand observations which never stray into the realm of over-generalizations. Highest recommendation.
Old, but amazingly accurate

Don't be turned off by this book because it is old. That is what the Japanese system is all about. . . consistency, uniformity, equality. . . therefore there has been little to no change in how their high schools operate over the years.
