In a Japanese elementary school, lunch works like this. π
No cafeteria. No lunch lady.
The children put on white coats and hats, carry the food to their own classroom, and serve every classmate themselves.
They eat together. Nobody starts until everyone has a tray.
Then they clear it, wipe the desks, and sweep the room. No janitor.
Six-year-olds do this. Every day. For nine years.
Foreign educators come to observe and leave asking the same question:
how do you teach responsibility to a whole country?
You do not teach it. You hand a child a ladle. π―π΅β¨
