Primary Advice / Keeping siblings apart
Q: I have a primary school class with two brothers in it. The mother wants them to be in the same class because it is convenient for her to drop them both off at the same time. But their ages and levels are different, and they fool around and speak Japanese to each other in class. How can I convince the mother it would be advantageous to let me separate them? G.W. Teacher Nagoya A: I do not approve of siblings being in the same classroom because they come to class with family roles embedded in their relationship. Clearly one is dominant and the other is weaker. Equally as clear is the fact that they will use Japanese with each other. An ideal situation would be your school having two classes going on at the same time; then the mother could drop them off together.
