トップへ  Purpose of Study  戻る

(English)

For what purpose do you study?
It is to be useful for the future of the human race, developing the ability to the full, knowing its ability.
To enter a good school and a good enterprise, it is not.
Also, it is not to compete with the other person and to win.

It is because it thinks that that it is possible to force to compete in the society in now and at the school in it can work hard more by the competition.
As a result, however, the competition in the sumo ring which is uniform more than developing the ability of each student becomes demanded and the fact being a purpose of the original education "to know its ability and to develop the ability to the full" is forgot.
It shoulders because the human being who has the decisive power which decides the rule of the society in now is the human being who won competition about the cause and thinks that the action of the itself is right.

Even if it says "that it knows its ability and that it develops the ability to the full", knowing its ability is an extremely difficult thing.
Now, in the weak subject, it doesn't know that it becomes the subject to be good at with the chance which was a short while in future.
It doesn't know that the thing to be good at isn't made in the accident and so on by making unfortunate oppositely.
In the future, no one understands.
Because it is, preparing for the long life in the future in the compulsory education and studying a lot of things shallowly widely become basic.

勉強する目的

 何のために勉強するのか。
 それは、自分の能力を知り、その能力を最大限に伸ばして、人類の未来に役立つためです。
 良い学校・良い企業に入ることが目的ではありません。
 また、他の人と競争して勝つことが目的ではありません。

 今の社会や学校で、競争を強いられるのは、競争によって、もっと頑張れると考えられているからです。
 でも、その結果、個々の生徒の能力を伸ばすことよりも、一律の土俵での競争が求められるようになり、本来の教育の目的である「自分の能力を知り、その能力を最大限に伸ばす」ということが忘れられています。
 その原因は、今の社会のルールを決める決定権のある人間が、競争に勝った人間であり、その自分の行動が、正しいと思っているからでしょう。

 「自分の能力を知り、その能力を最大限に伸ばす」と言っても、自分の能力を知ることは大変難しいことです。
 今は不得意な科目でも、将来チョットしたきっかけで、得意な科目になるかも分かりません。
 逆に、不幸にして事故等で、得意なことができなくなるかも分かりません。
 未来のことはだれにも分かりません。
 ですから、義務教育では、今後の長い人生に備えて、広く浅く多くのことを勉強することが基本になります。
