My some of the comments are shocking. It amazes me how people misconstrue.
Some nuggets
France banned cell phone use in schools for all kids up to age 15- Banned use in schools. Not banned use. Government sets all sorts of guidlines and rules in schools. Dress code, minimum attendance, restrict bringing a gun to school, grades, etc. Why is restricting use of a cell phone during shcool hours a problem?
In Japan, kids clean their classroom every day and help serve lunch- I think this is a great idea. But in some instatnce I can see the objection. Again, children are there to learn not clean and of course child labor laws.
China just passed a 3 hour limit per day for kids playing video games- not sure I agree with this one. Yes I agree limit use to three hours or less but that is a parents decisison not the government.
I like the bowing in the second video, simply a gesture of thanks, something lost here. In New jersey it is a law to stop for pedestrians in a cross walk even if you have the right away. I stopped even before the law. I also hold the door for people. It is surprisig how many do not acknoeldege the gesture.
The statement at the end of the second video says a lot.
A kind gestrure can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.
