私たちも不登校だった

by 江川 紹子, Shoko Egawa

「学校に行かないなんてとんでもない」。不登校の子どもやその親に、こうした言葉がどれほど浴びせられただろうか。しかし、「普通でないこと」を罪悪視する学校という場所になじめなくても、人生を自分の力で切り開いていった少年少女はたくさんいる。彼らは学校に行かなかったことのマイナスも冷静に見つめ、ゆっくりと自分の「夢」を実現するために歩いていった。「私は学校が好きだった」という女性ジャーナリストが、驚きをこめて描いた、素敵な若者たちの記録。

Edgy standpoints by Ms. Shoko Egawa, the most humble/cool journalist. She featured Japanese "dropouts",not kind of people you might come up with at the first place though. They are pretty far far way from reckless violence, drugs etc. I personally believe all interviewees are never "no self-control", but they are very sensitive in specific ways. Sensitive enough not to hurt somebody else or being arrogant to get comfort spot or groups you settle for in early-adlesence, led to being pray of bullying sometimes even though they are outstandingly clever. The ways they hopped out of in fucking peer pressure in school or family were mostly dreaming into the vocation, which are amazing. She shed out former Educational minister's lame lines! Good read.
