An Introduction to Canadian Student Life 2010 pilot

This post will be a summary of comments made by Canadian students. Once we have two or three classes of students making comments. Students will be assigned the task of summarizing the comments. The best summaries will be posted.

Instructions:

Canadian students face froshing, bullying and cussing. Here in canada it is best to tell a teacher about being bullied.

Also in Canada the Japanese Langauge program does not adequatly prepare studetns to talk to Japanese conversations as 30 level is focused on culture. Also the Japanese teachers are sometimes not very qualified because they are not ethnic Japanese this makes it harder to learn the language as one has to try and learn on ones own.
The education system is farly well structured and orgainized. Some issues facing candaian students can be seen on the speak out form of Alberta and the inspiring education blog.

Hey, Vjm1-Luke. You had a good comment, especially since bullying is also a problem in Japan. Can you explain the words "froshing" "bullying" and "cussing" in easy words? What do they mean? Japanese kids don't learn those words. Thanks a lot!
