So does Japanese history leave out WW2? In comparison, I've heard German schools are notorious for going into detail on WW2 and the atrocities of the holocaust. Police recruits in Berlin (IIRC) have to tour a concentration camp and holocaust memorial in addition to normal police training like how to use a gun.
@jacktattersall9457 It leaves out everything that the Japanese did as far as I can find. Apparently the vast majority of the Japanese population don't know what unit 731 was. For the love of God, don't Google that if you don't know. Keep your innocence. Things like the blatant war crimes they were committing were just swept under the rug. And as far as doing things like putting babies on bayonets, which yes that happened They can't be bothered to tell about it.
I heard this from a Japanese dude I talk to sometimes, but apparently they didn’t even know that Japan had committed war crimes during WW2 in the first place
@@jacktattersall9457 Can confirm as a German, and from what I've heard, indeed they not only leave it out in history lessons, they (or rather: the government!) straight out denies some genocides and atrocities they've commited.. :( Just google Rape of Nanking.

That's something about history that always intrigued me, what history is taught and omitted in other countries because the saying "History is written by the winners" seems so true in comparison to what we teach vs other countries.
It's really not though. Unless you completely wipe out the enemy, and everyone involved was 100% on your side, various perspectives will get out there. Heck just due to people choosing to inspect all the data, alternative viewpoints can be brought firth long after the event. Now sure, there is something to be said about what is taught, but in this age, the information is out there. It just depends on what you choose to believe.
@@jamesmcdonnell2455 Except that, just like in this comment section right here, Japanese ultranationalists swarm out and try to shout down any factual discussion.
@@jamesmcdonnell2455this is so true. In college, I decided to take European history (mostly due to that I’m tired of constantly hearing the US one being repeated so many times in grade school) and we actually learned about England’s side of the Revolutionary War and it’s interesting to learn why they wanted to keep, the then English Colony. As for some wars, if they happen to far into the past, then only a handful of people could write down what was happening. Like during the medieval times or in days of the Roman Empire. Those events were most likely, were written by only the victors.
It's not really that odd. If you look it up, it's always specific to the country. Not many countries teach about the history of other countries/continents. Here in the UK, we learn about Stone-Iron age, Ancient Egypt, Romans and Greeks because they had a long lasting legacy on the UK, followed by all the Vikings, Normans, the medieval ages etc. Modern history is WW1/2 and the cold war. The only american history within the curriculum is the Atlantic Slave Trade, and thats because of Europe being the only reason it happened! In Primary (pre age 11), the school has to teach about one non-european civilisation (Mayans, Benin or Baghdad 900AD) purely to contrast to European history. We literally don't learn about American, Asian or African history (except for one of non-european civ mentioned) in school. Some of North America's history is studied at a-level. So unless you go to uni, we really don't learn about the history outside of Europe.
I remember reading a Chinese text book and a Japanese text book in English talking about Nanjing the Chinese said and referred to it as genocide and a massacre while the Japanese text book referred to it as a minor incident that happened.
@@MysteryWgF_show More commonly known as the Rape of Nanjing. Basically Japanese troops took over and had their way with the local population. Look it up if you want details.
Its worse. They continued the narrative that the war was for the good of the other countries and that Japan wanted to spread its advancements to help the countries. At that time, Japan saw themselves superior to many of the countries they colonised, especially China and Korea.
being a teacher in America is terrible. Students have zero discipline or accountability, act like complete idiots, they lie, cheat, are rude, violent, and disrespectful. Parents blame you for them failing to be a part of their child's life and expect you to be a babysitter and you only get paid enough to live slightly above the poverty line...
Teachers in my area are millionaires. Connecticut teachers make bank. 80-90k a year. Starting pay around 70k per year. You can easily be looking at 100,000 per year after a while.
Both are to blame along with technology. Parents relay too much on TV, phones, and internet to entertain their kids. Kids are no longer being discipline causing their focus and behavior to deteriorate. Parents think everything is fine since their kids aren't acting up at home and doing their own thing, and no really getting involved in their kids life. Majority of the stuff taught at school is boring. How is a kid suppose to enjoy learning when the same thing has been taught for the last 12 years? Example: Go to English class. Write an essay, learn these vocabulary words, read this book, test, and repeat. Only way anyone will fix it is to change the culture. When you have TikTok clips of ppl acting bad, they're going to imitate it. Kids learn quick that the parents are too busy with work and they can act up with no consequences. In the end. Everyone goes down the same path of saying screw it and do what you want. Teachers have power but just don't know how to use it effectively. One technique they used when I was a kid is if a kid acts up and normal corrective actions don't work, they would punish the whole class. This turned the students on the bad kid. Others will tell him to shut up and start ignoring them. The usually stuff was like extra homework, pop quiz, no study guides, and so on.
I wonder if they have a odd colored hair student who sits in the back of the classroom who looks out the window and mysteriously misses class every so often?

I went to a private school in the US. We had to wear skirts or dresses, and the boys had to wear collared shirts and their hair could not be longer than their ears.
@@TheOrangeRoadYou say that like the US public wanted war. We wanted nothing to do with WWII. The US military was also in no fighting shape at the beginning of WWII. That's why we sat out 39 and 40; the military was smaller than Portugal's-a nation roughly the size of Indiana--was using outdated equipment and was using old doctrine. It took until 1942 for us to be in decent fighting shape and we didn't get really good until 1943/44. We were not emotionally or militarily ready.
@@colincipriani4753 Exactly. The public did *not* want any war. They were just coming out of WW1, and didn't want to go back in. The US gov however was a different story. It's a very good book, I'd recommend it

Thank you PeachMilky for highlighting this :') The students themselves are so sweet ! I can vouch. Taught in Japan between 2010 and 2011 and had a hand in helping write the new textbooks... I poured my heart and soul into making sure correct British-Australian English was used but in the end, they didn't get published... IN FAVOUR OF ANOTHER SET OF ENGLISH TEXT BOOKS THAT HAD ABSOLUTE NONSENSE THAT HAD TO BE PUT TOGETHER BY A NON-ENGLISH SPEAKER BECAUSE SOME OF THE VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR WAS ABYSMAL ! That's when I found out there's some weird lobbying or funding thing going on under the table. Honestly, content creation was the only way to support myself while I was a teacher in Saitama. Now that the statute of limitations on the internet's collective consciousness is long passed, I might actually get into content creation again xD
As a Japanese person, I can confirm that we learned about WW2. Most Japanese schools have to event let students to visit places related to WW2(like Okinawa, Nagasaki, Hiroshima). And we listen what people actually experienced during that period. Which is called as 平和学習 and all school has to have at the point of 3rd grade of junior hight school/2nd year of high school(most of time.) I don't want to argue about what is right or wrong in history. But I just don't like to see my own people treated as ignorant.
Yikes. You have access to the Internet l. Do some basic research about WW2 and you'll probably learn a lot more than the victim perspective of your own country. War is shitty. We have to learn all aspects and perspectives in order to avoid it again.
So do they teach you about the wrongful ideas of the Japanese imperial assault on the majority of Asia? Scarring countless cultures and REFUSING to take responsibility. Not just apologise but take responsibility.
Germany : "We send our deepest condolences for the people we've wronged. We have created the darkest chapter in the history of mankind. We take full responsibility, and such crimes against nature will not be tolerated" Japan : "What??? Couldn't hear you properly"
Tbh the way Germans think about that is. Not healthy at all. It wasn't completely Germanys fault and it was nowhere near the darkest chapter in mankind
@@theredoctopus3196 I agree that maybe not all the citizens of Germany were responsible because they were mostly brainwashed to believe the information that they were fed but I would defo recommend watching schindlers list
@isihosena635 ehm nein. Ww2 started partly due to the pressure the Germans were in after ww1 wich was entirely France' fault. Additionally they got brainwashed by Hitler wich granted is how dictatorships work but still. And there are many other periods in human history where entire nations got annihilated in senseless wars. It's only that most of them don't get taught since they're way further in the past. What made ww2 special is the atomic warfare wich tbf the only nation actually having used those weapons was the US when they annihilated innocent Japanese folks. So yeah Germany wasn't at fault for EVERYTHING and most the parties involved in that war had their own war crimes. Exactly that fact is why it's unhealthy to think of the Germans like that. And I'm saying that as a German. Yeah shit happened and yes it was unethical bullshit but to act as if similar things hadn't happened before and ignoring the circumstances under wich all these things came to be is just weak minded. Japan does better in trying to keep people pieceful and not preventing the nation to feel unnecessary guilt. Granted not teaching anything is also not the entirely correct method. If everybody should feel that way, we should start hammering into every Americans mind how their ancestors are at fault of wipin out innocent people with the most evil mass destruction weapon ever created. How's that? .... we don't do that? Fine. Then let's stop acting as if Germany Is evil or should feel guilt for anything.
And it does not have the educational problems, the mentally colonized Germans got. (Coincidence ?) Who follows the US educational model, get's the same results.

Hey, I also found history class in the USA questionable as a foreigner student. It's not super censored in the books; but it is deliberately avoided in class to plant an image of purity or a belief of supremacy.

I love how you were real and gave all the pros and cons! I will say, it does seem like a lot of countries teach a very biased version of history in their schools to make people more patriotic and unrebellious. Though I'm sure the degree of severity varies.

Only partially agree with your take on the quality of the English textbooks. Especially since the "kiss a boy" material comes from somewhere other than New Horizon, (which my schools also use). Now, NH does have an interesting and engaging storyline that is relatable for junior high school students. The digital textbook for teachers has lots of useful tools and bonus videos. Many of the "mistakes" that I have found in the textbook are stylistic ones that come "close enough" to being correct. There certainly are parts of the textbook that do make me want to roll my eyes. But overall the New Horizon series is more than sufficient for 12-15 year-old kids.

Hi!! I’m a high school student in Japan. In class, we not only learn about the genocide of Imperial Japan, but also the glorious history of the British Empire and the United States' great invention!!!!
they dont have custodians the way we do. the kids have to do all the cleaning so you dont get kids vandalizing it since it just means more work for them. probably also teaches them to appreciate the school more than what we have here.
I'm Japanese. In this comment, many people are misunderstanding Japanese education. We learn our history deeply in history class at junior high school and high school. It includes war crime. So ,we all know about war crime and what our ancestors did. And I have question. Why some people in this comment want Japanese people to know war crime MORE deeply? Of course history is important, but what do they want us to do? Apologizeing?
I can’t speak for all but I’m a filipino - my people have suffered much more at the hands of *Imperial Japan* (not modern Japan). Although, we don’t carry a grudge for the Japanese. I’ve also lived in Australia for a long time too so I think I can give some insight to this issue for the west. I think in their case, they want something that obviously shows that Japan is ashamed of their past. However, it’s at a point where no matter what you guys do - the west will never be satisfied. It’s the older generation’s trauma. The newer generation don’t care but they’ll still learn at school that Japan “never apologised” because the older generation of the west cannot accept that Japan isn’t openly on their knees everyday begging for forgiveness for what their (likely now dead) ancestors did. At this point, the only apology that would likely soothe this old anger would be a video compiling the atrocities of Imperial Japan and having some young Japanese just go “Sorry, I guess”. But, likely as you can see, it’s pretty stupid. No one’s ever going to be happy. Anyway, this is my opinion. The west likely isn’t well-informed about how history is taught in Japan compared to, let’s say, Germany. I think there needs to be more open communication between the two worlds.

@@jamesmcdonnell2455 Except that, just like in this comment section right here, Japanese ultranationalists swarm out and try to shout down any factual discussion.
@@jamesmcdonnell2455this is so true. In college, I decided to take European history (mostly due to that I’m tired of constantly hearing the US one being repeated so many times in grade school) and we actually learned about England’s side of the Revolutionary War and it’s interesting to learn why they wanted to keep, the then English Colony.
As for some wars, if they happen to far into the past, then only a handful of people could write down what was happening. Like during the medieval times or in days of the Roman Empire. Those events were most likely, were written by only the victors.
It's not really that odd. If you look it up, it's always specific to the country. Not many countries teach about the history of other countries/continents. Here in the UK, we learn about Stone-Iron age, Ancient Egypt, Romans and Greeks because they had a long lasting legacy on the UK, followed by all the Vikings, Normans, the medieval ages etc. Modern history is WW1/2 and the cold war. The only american history within the curriculum is the Atlantic Slave Trade, and thats because of Europe being the only reason it happened! In Primary (pre age 11), the school has to teach about one non-european civilisation (Mayans, Benin or Baghdad 900AD) purely to contrast to European history.
We literally don't learn about American, Asian or African history (except for one of non-european civ mentioned) in school. Some of North America's history is studied at a-level. So unless you go to uni, we really don't learn about the history outside of Europe.
I remember reading a Chinese text book and a Japanese text book in English talking about Nanjing the Chinese said and referred to it as genocide and a massacre while the Japanese text book referred to it as a minor incident that happened.

Vote republican and that's what you deserve.
@Kevin_Kennelly dude said he's in school, do you think he can vote?
being a teacher in America is terrible. Students have zero discipline or accountability, act like complete idiots, they lie, cheat, are rude, violent, and disrespectful. Parents blame you for them failing to be a part of their child's life and expect you to be a babysitter and you only get paid enough to live slightly above the poverty line...
Teachers have become baby sitters with a good dental plan. You are right these parents want to lay their responsibilty on the teacher.
It’s the same here in norway
Teachers in my area are millionaires. Connecticut teachers make bank. 80-90k a year. Starting pay around 70k per year. You can easily be looking at 100,000 per year after a while.
Both are to blame along with technology. Parents relay too much on TV, phones, and internet to entertain their kids. Kids are no longer being discipline causing their focus and behavior to deteriorate. Parents think everything is fine since their kids aren't acting up at home and doing their own thing, and no really getting involved in their kids life. Majority of the stuff taught at school is boring. How is a kid suppose to enjoy learning when the same thing has been taught for the last 12 years? Example: Go to English class. Write an essay, learn these vocabulary words, read this book, test, and repeat. Only way anyone will fix it is to change the culture. When you have TikTok clips of ppl acting bad, they're going to imitate it. Kids learn quick that the parents are too busy with work and they can act up with no consequences.
In the end. Everyone goes down the same path of saying screw it and do what you want. Teachers have power but just don't know how to use it effectively. One technique they used when I was a kid is if a kid acts up and normal corrective actions don't work, they would punish the whole class. This turned the students on the bad kid. Others will tell him to shut up and start ignoring them. The usually stuff was like extra homework, pop quiz, no study guides, and so on.

Unit 731 didn’t exist and nothing happened
Because the USA saw a way to get into the war. Read "Day of Deciet"
@@TheOrangeRoadYou say that like the US public wanted war. We wanted nothing to do with WWII. The US military was also in no fighting shape at the beginning of WWII. That's why we sat out 39 and 40; the military was smaller than Portugal's-a nation roughly the size of Indiana--was using outdated equipment and was using old doctrine. It took until 1942 for us to be in decent fighting shape and we didn't get really good until 1943/44. We were not emotionally or militarily ready.
@@colincipriani4753 Exactly. The public did *not* want any war. They were just coming out of WW1, and didn't want to go back in. The US gov however was a different story. It's a very good book, I'd recommend it

The students themselves are so sweet !
I can vouch. Taught in Japan between 2010 and 2011 and had a hand in helping write the new textbooks... I poured my heart and soul into making sure correct British-Australian English was used but in the end, they didn't get published... IN FAVOUR OF ANOTHER SET OF ENGLISH TEXT BOOKS THAT HAD ABSOLUTE NONSENSE THAT HAD TO BE PUT TOGETHER BY A NON-ENGLISH SPEAKER BECAUSE SOME OF THE VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR WAS ABYSMAL ! That's when I found out there's some weird lobbying or funding thing going on under the table. Honestly, content creation was the only way to support myself while I was a teacher in Saitama.
Now that the statute of limitations on the internet's collective consciousness is long passed, I might actually get into content creation again xD
As a Japanese person, I can confirm that we learned about WW2. Most Japanese schools have to event let students to visit places related to WW2(like Okinawa, Nagasaki, Hiroshima). And we listen what people actually experienced during that period. Which is called as 平和学習 and all school has to have at the point of 3rd grade of junior hight school/2nd year of high school(most of time.)
I don't want to argue about what is right or wrong in history. But I just don't like to see my own people treated as ignorant.
What YOUR people actually experienced? I'm sorry but i think thats about how painful the war was, not about being sorry for other countries.
Yikes. You have access to the Internet l. Do some basic research about WW2 and you'll probably learn a lot more than the victim perspective of your own country. War is shitty. We have to learn all aspects and perspectives in order to avoid it again.
So do they teach you about the wrongful ideas of the Japanese imperial assault on the majority of Asia? Scarring countless cultures and REFUSING to take responsibility. Not just apologise but take responsibility.
Do you know that japan did the holocaust in china, but worse..

@@theredoctopus3196What do you mean by not healthy? And what was the darkest period in mankind according to you?
@@theredoctopus3196 I agree that maybe not all the citizens of Germany were responsible because they were mostly brainwashed to believe the information that they were fed but I would defo recommend watching schindlers list
@isihosena635 ehm nein. Ww2 started partly due to the pressure the Germans were in after ww1 wich was entirely France' fault. Additionally they got brainwashed by Hitler wich granted is how dictatorships work but still.
And there are many other periods in human history where entire nations got annihilated in senseless wars. It's only that most of them don't get taught since they're way further in the past. What made ww2 special is the atomic warfare wich tbf the only nation actually having used those weapons was the US when they annihilated innocent Japanese folks. So yeah Germany wasn't at fault for EVERYTHING and most the parties involved in that war had their own war crimes.
Exactly that fact is why it's unhealthy to think of the Germans like that. And I'm saying that as a German. Yeah shit happened and yes it was unethical bullshit but to act as if similar things hadn't happened before and ignoring the circumstances under wich all these things came to be is just weak minded.
Japan does better in trying to keep people pieceful and not preventing the nation to feel unnecessary guilt. Granted not teaching anything is also not the entirely correct method.
If everybody should feel that way, we should start hammering into every Americans mind how their ancestors are at fault of wipin out innocent people with the most evil mass destruction weapon ever created. How's that? .... we don't do that? Fine. Then let's stop acting as if Germany Is evil or should feel guilt for anything.
Japan definitely doesn't have the same historical memory of WWII that Germany does.
And it does not have the educational problems, the mentally colonized Germans got. (Coincidence ?) Who follows the US educational model, get's the same results.
Neither does Italy
Germany is ran by the tribe. Of course it's like that there.

Hey, I also found history class in the USA questionable as a foreigner student. It's not super censored in the books; but it is deliberately avoided in class to plant an image of purity or a belief of supremacy.
True. Because of patriotism

I love how you were real and gave all the pros and cons! I will say, it does seem like a lot of countries teach a very biased version of history in their schools to make people more patriotic and unrebellious. Though I'm sure the degree of severity varies.
It’s ironic how Japan is obsessed with the concept of honor and yet don’t consider omitting or lying about history to be dishonorable.
It's like when a girl is touched in her private parts during a train ride, dishonor is brought on her even though she's a victim - so they prefer to not report the issue ever if possible. Their concept of honor is a bit... weird

Only partially agree with your take on the quality of the English textbooks. Especially since the "kiss a boy" material comes from somewhere other than New Horizon, (which my schools also use). Now, NH does have an interesting and engaging storyline that is relatable for junior high school students. The digital textbook for teachers has lots of useful tools and bonus videos. Many of the "mistakes" that I have found in the textbook are stylistic ones that come "close enough" to being correct. There certainly are parts of the textbook that do make me want to roll my eyes. But overall the New Horizon series is more than sufficient for 12-15 year-old kids.

Also low fertility is something that you can only see in the countries which has financial prosperity. I know its bad but it can't be your biggest problem.

I'm Japanese. In this comment, many people are misunderstanding Japanese education.
We learn our history deeply in history class at junior high school and high school. It includes war crime. So ,we all know about war crime and what our ancestors did.
And I have question. Why some people in this comment want Japanese people to know war crime MORE deeply? Of course history is important, but what do they want us to do? Apologizeing?
I can’t speak for all but I’m a filipino - my people have suffered much more at the hands of *Imperial Japan* (not modern Japan).
Although, we don’t carry a grudge for the Japanese.
I’ve also lived in Australia for a long time too so I think I can give some insight to this issue for the west. I think in their case, they want something that obviously shows that Japan is ashamed of their past. However, it’s at a point where no matter what you guys do - the west will never be satisfied.
It’s the older generation’s trauma. The newer generation don’t care but they’ll still learn at school that Japan “never apologised” because the older generation of the west cannot accept that Japan isn’t openly on their knees everyday begging for forgiveness for what their (likely now dead) ancestors did.
At this point, the only apology that would likely soothe this old anger would be a video compiling the atrocities of Imperial Japan and having some young Japanese just go “Sorry, I guess”.
But, likely as you can see, it’s pretty stupid. No one’s ever going to be happy.
Anyway, this is my opinion. The west likely isn’t well-informed about how history is taught in Japan compared to, let’s say, Germany. I think there needs to be more open communication between the two worlds.

@@nicolasguiem7369 Jesus, our culture is so screwed up. Let me teach you the purpose of history my friend. It's not about keeping score. It's not about who owes whom an apology. It's not a contest for woke status. History is learning about the successes and failures of past human development so that we can learn from mistakes and improve on the accomplishments of our forebearers. If you can't learn from error you may be doomed to repeat it. And if you can't learn from others work, you'll be constantly reinventing the wheel. So, yeah, History: it's worth learning.
@@exercisethemind haha ya mybe but human will never learn and repeat anyway… it’s a giant cycle.
@@nicolasguiem7369 it sounds like that's your religion. What do you call it?
@@exercisethemind The ones who won the war wrote history and u think those countries that colonize other country's will write about their bad deed no they won't just take a look at the UK and Japan are no less than them they're the same same when it comes to cruelty and exploit of those country that get colonize
"Kiss a boy" is funny, until you realize Japanese are trying their best to make sure their next generation is not the last of their generation.
Its justified indoctrination 😅
Based student
"It's even more questionable is some of the things that they're not taught about history" coming from an American, that's rich.
Two things. One, she's only talking about Japan at the time. The US isn't part of the discussion, so she's not making a comparison. And two, the US has come a long way in fixing the teaching of history.
@@Michael-dy2lbsadly many states are actively fighting to keep history suppressed and winning
@@SKULLKR3W Massachusetts, New York, California are the biggest sources of info suppression.
I would rather wear a skirt than get have students fighting teachers or disrupting the class with no punishment
Please please PLEASE make a long video on this topic you can and have to make multiple long format videos on this
We are planning it now!
My God, that school still looks brand new!
I legit thought you were cosplaying Elise de la Serre with that beginning look
Meanwhile at my school in the us we’re only allowed to wear pants 😭 No skirts or shorts, even in summer.
that is the right thing because clothes shouldnt be revealing , this generation has the worst interpretation of freedom
@@bsl144Sorry that you think that children wearing less clothing to cool down is provocative.
This is where I disagree with the cute woman in the video. I believe she is just talking about her school, but I have worked in many schools in Japan where girls are allowed to wear slacks instead of skirts.
@@bsl144 someone might find out I have skin, oh no!
I finished in 2017, and I been to dozens of schools in the us due to moving with parents, but there was not ONE school that forbade any of that, you sure you're in the us lol, because they most certainly do not care unless you're sagging your pants
Japan: Unit seven thirty what now?
Batman death march? What's that?
No, those islands were never inhabited!
Who the hell was Nan King? Isn't that an American author?
The Batman death march was led by the Penguin 🐧
Those eyes are so stunning tho 😭☠️
“Drawing anime Jesus” Omg Im laughing So hard 🤣
There is an actual anime about Jesus and Buddha as friends
I'm actually going to be finishing school and then moving to Japan to teach English myself! I was born and raised in Japan, and so to have any opportunity to go back makes my heart flutter 🤓
Trust me it’s no sunshine and rainbows. Been there done that.
I've heard the foreigner friendly cities are less racist
It’s actually very common almost every country will leave out some of his unsavory parts when teaching history even American history while for the most part will cover pretty much everything. There are some dark details that even we cover up or gloss over.
So japan just basically leave out the whole era of ww2 aka the darkest era of mankind.
@@ponzu638 that or they would leave out large chunks and revise history
@@landenroberts6710 revising it is even worse. I love japan but I really wish they teach these things in school.
@@ponzu638
even as a mongolian we have to learn what torture method we used to punish the monks, And how 1 guy survived that hellhole, and how much wrongs and rights they were doing, We arent allowed to judge because it had happened. We learn to avoid the same mistake our ancestors made. And I think japan should too instead playing the victim and hate the us for bombing them. Even tho they sweep every war crimes they did under the rugs
So instead of saying: what war crime? we never did it!, they should learn and avoid the same mistake their great great grandparents made. Japan has lot of future, that's well said, they have lots and lots of smartasses. And they should know that it's not a good thing to just hold their futures eyes and ears and remind them of the bombing US did. (Many people thinks Japans are innocent victims, according to the internet's comments, but I'm here to remind you theres a bad humans and good humans everywhere)
And thank you for your time reading this long ass message, and if someone says "I ain't reading allthat", Please consider going to the 1st grade. Thank you.
@@KizikiKiki well said
It feels like every country tries to hide or sweet talk some of their history. I grew up in the Netherlands and we were only taught that so many countries speak our language because we traded with them and helped to develop their nations 😂 Only as an adult I learned about the colonization and other horrible shit
Can you make a second video elaborating on the history aspect it's always fascinated me how other countries teach history in school
"kick in the balls" 😭💀
Imao😂
Very pain
Love the aggressive "kiss a boy" tag
Aggressive?
You unironically read too much into things
certified loverboy
@@CBrasil1966 by that I mean I comes off as an order lol
@@johnjonson6377 I like entertaining myself by reading things in an exciting tone bc fun is fun. Maybe I got it wrong. I laughed.
Your hair is so beautiful ❤❤
I totally understand the book issue, i'm an english teacher in Brazil and we found out they were using a 1990 material... the book even had grammar mistakes, fortunately the school owner agreed to buy the new cambridge one, that is the best in the market for sure
Fr gender segregated unkforms are so inconvenient especially when the girls one is a skirt, pursposefully doesnt allow as much range of movement with the fear of flashing people, a good idea some girls do is wear shorts under the skirt so they can move freely and however they want without the fear of exposing themselves.
Its great that some Japanese schos are changing and allowing girls to wear pants, especially in winter too.
Exactly
They don't wear miniskirts, so that's not a problem. And I don't think it's inconvenient. I'm a woman, I wish I could wear skirts more.
@@katl3892 you can if you want! All that matters to me is that everyone can choose
@@annoying-person and school is school. There should be some rules. People always have problems. Next step would be why the uniforms have one colour, maybe students should choose it. That leads to nothing.
@@katl3892 true
To be fair, what Americans aren't taught about their own history is also questionable.
As in?
@very754 The genocide of indigenous Americans, residential schools, eugenics programs, the murder of hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians to name a few.
@@oliviaocasain9980fr, hard to find a nation that's honest about its history.
@abryn6864 Very true. I'm Canadian and we aren't really taught about what the government did and continues to do to our indigenous people. Also the war crimes Canadian soldiers committed in WW1 were so atrocious that whole section of the Geneva Convention exist because of it.
@@oliviaocasain9980 and the nations like yours is the MOST honest ones about it. As you go down and right in the map it gets worse. Im in Turkey and our history books is just dc superhero comics at this point
Kiss a boy
Student: that's katy perry.
i love that the students are wholesome
