鹿児島修学館では、｢自分の時間をデザインする｣をテーマに、生徒が夏休み中、学校で自習ができるよう、大講義室が開放されていました。

大講義室には、監督の先生が1人おり、さらに、廊下の反対側に職員室があるため、質問もしやすくなっていた。このような状況のせいもあってか、各々自分の課題に向かい、集中して取り組んでいた。中には頭に手を当て、考えながら取り組んでいる人も見受けられた。

そんな真面目に取り組んでいる中、我々はやはりこのことに目がいってしまった。それは、6人中5人が後ろの机に向かっていたのだ、やはりこれは逆らいようのない生徒の性なのだろうか。

少し話がズレましたが、この調子で我々含む生徒たちには、この環境を有効活用しながら、効率的に、かつ楽しく勉強ができるように自分の時間をデザインし、夏休みを満喫して欲しい。

'Design your own time' Self-study at school.

At Kagoshima Shugakukan, under the theme 'Design your own time', the large lecture room was open to students so that they could study on their own at school during the summer holidays.

There was one supervisor in the main lecture room, and the staff room was on the other side of the corridor, making it easier to ask questions. Perhaps because of this situation, each student was facing his or her own assignment and concentrating on it. Some of them could be seen putting their hands on their heads and thinking about what they were doing.

In the midst of such seriousness, our attention was still drawn to this. It was that five out of six students were facing the desks behind us, which is, after all, the nature of students that cannot be resisted.

This is a little off topic, but at this rate I hope that students, including us, will make the most of this environment, design their own time so that they can study efficiently and happily, and enjoy their summer holidays to the fullest.
