There is a principal of a public junior high school in the middle of Tokyo who is overturning the common sense of school!
・Homework is abolished.
・Eliminated fixed homeroom teacher system in classrooms.
・Eliminated mid-term and final exams, etc.

Yuichi Kudo, principal of Kojimachi Junior High School in Chiyoda Ward, is reconsidering what is being done at junior high schools across the country and pursuing the form of school that is truly necessary for the children who will lead the next generation.

The ability to learn on your own and carve out your future is "Autonomy".
Classes and events for children from 1st to 3rd year of junior high school should be rearranged so that adults do not put too much effort into the situation and end up blaming others for everything. Here is the full story of how we create a school that is strongly supported by students and parents.
