Stop Blaming the Schools for Children Not Getting Enough Hours of Sleep

From the Front Page Sections, written by an elementary school instructor, translated…

The Children Welfare Foundation surveyed and found, that seventy-eight percent of children and adolescents are getting less than eight hours of sleep at night. And, we all believed, that as children don’t get enough hours to sleep, it’d not only affected their learning, their physical, mental health, but also, increased the prevalence of accidents. And the primary reasons for why these teens and children aren’t getting enough sleep are due to family matters and testing in school.

and this, would be how the students feel…not my comic…

In other words, unless the parents focused on helping their young, or that we change the testing systems, this problem will never be resolved. As for, standing on the front of education, naturally, the schools should emphasize, educate the students, to let the parents and students know the importance of having enough sleep at night, but other than that, there’s nothing we can do.

And what’s most fearful is, as the Department of Education got pressured by the public, will they start asking the schools to place the hours of sleep as a criterion for assessment of the schools, and having the schools do statistical measures then, reported the results to the Department of Education?

how old does this kid look, and that backpack seemed to weight 2/3 of the child’s weight here, not my photo…

Just like how the call for making the backpacks lighter didn’t have any effect since its implementations, and reasons being not because the school didn’t push hard enough, but because inside the students’ backpacks, there are always all the books, the extra workbooks, extra practice exams from the cram schools. And, all these ideals that the Department of Education asked the individual schools to push forth, to implement, the schools are powerless to change it, so, the higher up officials of the Department of Education, STOP blaming it on the schools individually anymore!

So, it’s NOT the public school systems that are at “fault”, for the kids not getting enough sleep, of having to carry that overweight back pack, but because the government doesn’t have ANY power over the private sectors, so, they’re going AFTER the public school systems, asking them to change their rules, but that doesn’t solve the problems at all, the fault is in the parents, for making their young go to those god DAMN after school programs, those talent classes and what not, and because the government can’t talk sense into the parents, so, they start grilling the schools instead.
