THE PRESSURE

At my high school, a head of the career department puts a lot of pressure on us to get at least 15 students in our class into national universities. National universities? That's not what's important, I think.

THE SPIDER’S THREAD

The COVID-19 vaccine should be given first to anyone in the world who wants it. The way only developed countries are trying to vaccinate two or three times is like watching Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "The Spider's Thread".

THE QUESTIONS FOR THE ENTRANCE EXAM

From tomorrow, students will solve the questions for the university entrance exam. 4 months later, they will finish solving all the questions from major Japanese companies. Again, I'll give them some advice using PowerPoint (see below).

THE 3RD GRADE BIOLOGY CLASS WAS OVER

The 3rd grade biology class was finally over. For a year and a half, I taught all my classes with PowerPoint. It was hard !

A STUDENT

After school, a student came to me and said, "I've changed my school of choice to Waseda University." I told him, "Do your best." I think he is a reliable student.

OECD'S SURVEY

This is an article from the Yomiuri Shimbun. ”There needs to be a review of teacher work," said an OECD official. I think the paperwork can be reduced quickly by hiring someone to do it for us.

A RECOMMENDATION LETTER

Today, I wrote a recommendation letter for university entrance exam. Tomorrow, I will write another one.

SILVER WEEK

It's Silver Week soon. During Silver Week, I will write recommendation letters for university entrance exams. I will write them at home with Tori-chan.

By supplementing nitrogen from flies, flycatchers can live in wetlands where organics are difficult to decompose. Why do they live in such a place? It's because they are second to none in wetlands thanks to their abilities.

JICA'S FALL RECRUITMENT

Because of COVID-19, JICA's fall recruitment has been postponed again this year. Please send people overseas after vaccination.

COVID-19 VACCINATION

Finally, I got COVID-19 vaccination. It didn't hurt at all. I don't seem to have any side effects, so I have to go to school tomorrow.

WE ALL LIKE SHORTENED CLASS

Shortened classes have been extended until September 30. We all like shortened classes. We can no longer do anything but shortened classes.

SCORING EXAMS

I was scoring all day long. And I made commentary papers.

MAKING ANSWERS

I was making answers and all day long. I check for mistakes as I make answers.

EVEN WITH THE VACCINE

Even with the vaccine, the number of infected people is increasing.Shortened classes may continue forever.

MAKING EXAMS

I was making exams all day long. I just collected college entrance exam questions. It is impossible to make original exam questions. Because there is no time to read the scientific literature.

IT'S COOLER NOW

It has been cooler in Japan. It reminds me of last autumn's school trip.
