2015-02-05 "Why can't we stop the April school entrance system in Japan?" [長年日記]

Tomorrow, the 6th February, a heavy snow is going to hit the Kanto-area.

I tried to check the web site, thinking "How about tomorrow's entrance exam for junior school children"

The pile of school is coming on the web site.

Thinking of student preparing for an exam and their guardians, and their uneasy feeling, irritate me.

"Why can't we stop the April school entrance system in Japan?"

There is no merit of our traditional exam in winter season, because of traffic infrastructure accident by heavy snow, and influenza epidemics.

I really think "How foolish we are!"

In order to realize the illusion of "After enduring cold winter, reaching the entrance ceremony under Cherry blossoms in full bloom”, we should calculate the cost of the damage.

"It is O.K. I will do it with the numbers"

I am staring at the sky, and my grudge feeling toward the winter’s entrance examination becomes endless.
