So, firstly, I’m not new in Japan. I’ve been here 8 years, and taught Eikaiwa, ALT, and 3 International Preschools. I like moving around the country for different experiences.
I recently joined an International Preschool where lines are being crossed. There’s definitely verbal, psychological, and some physical abuse.
Over the years, I’ve seen my fair share of strict teachers, but the culture and general mood in this school definitely crosses lines.
The children aren’t confident or happy. They’re clearly scared of all the teachers.
I’ve seen name-calling, inappropriate SCREAMING at kids, refusal to eat lunch, aggressive grabbing by the hands, etc
AND THIS IS EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF EVERYDAY!! I’m honestly not exaggerating or blowing things out of proportion.
So, without any evidence, will it make any difference if I reported the matter? Has anyone experienced an intense atmosphere in a school before? If so, how did you handle it?
