Recently I have been studying Macrobiotics through the online course. While I was watching their classroom, I noticed one thing. It is about how the students participate in the class.
I have teaching experiences in both Japan and America.
In Japan, I taught various aged students from kindergarteners to high schoolers at Kumon, junior high schoolers at the private cram school, and junior high schoolers and high schoolers at their house as a private tutor. My students seldom asked questions during the class. Some of them waited until the class was ended, then they came to me and asked questions privately.
While I was watching the Macrobiotics class, I noticed the students were similar to my students. They quietly listened to the instructors. They never disturbed the class by abruptly asking questions. They asked the questions only the instructor asked if they had any questions.
In America, I taught Reiki class. My students were never quiet during the class. Rather, they participated the class by freely asking a whole bunch of questions during the class.
I am not talking about which is good or bad. Both habits simply show the personality and tendency of the country. I thought it interesting to know the difference.
This is my 11th year living in America. I might have incorporated some habits of American students without noticing by myself.
