My High School Business (先に生まれただけの僕)

Aren't there any other candidates?

Unfortunately,

these are the only maths teachers

who can start here part-time immediately.

How about asking a prep school to lend us someone?

- Can we even afford... - We can't!

I shouldn't have said it! Sorry.

You'll have to do it yourself.

What?

You did your best with that maths lesson!

That was a one-off...

...and it didn't go well.

Then you'll have to choose from that selection.

I wish I could teach a lesson like Shimazu-sensei's...

Yes, I've heard great things about that!

Seriously!

If everyone could teach like that...

That's it.

All the teachers?

That's right, all of you.

You want us to study Active Learning?

You must be joking.

It's a joke!

Shimazu-sensei knows how to practise Active Learning.

Wait a minute!

The principal wants you all to learn those techniques

and make classes compelling for the students.

But asking so suddenly...

We can't do it!

Shimazu-sensei's class was truly excellent.

Right, Mashiba-sensei?

It was excellent.

But that's Shimazu-sensei's method...

We all have our own lesson styles.

That's right, we can't study Active-whatever now.

I'm aware this is presumptuous,

but in order to raise Keimeikan's deviation value from 44 to 50,

to get more students into university,

and to increase applications to come here,

you teachers need to teach compelling lessons

that not a single student will sleep through!

That's the kind of lessons the principal is hoping for.

Won't you cooperate with us, Sugiyama-sensei?

Me?

Thank you, Office Manager.

Watching from the sidelines is painful, principal!

Excuse me...

Is it possible to teach music with Active Learning?

Shimazu-sensei.

I believe so.

And history?

Of course.

Physics, classical literature, and biology, too.

And Social Studies.

Please teach me!

I want to do it!

I'm interested, too, in Active Learning.

Please let Shimazu-sensei teach you.

Mashiba-sensei, too.

Let me think about it.

Think about what?

"What"...

We can't change all our classes.

It'll just cause confusion.

But if Yabe-sensei wants to do it...

Let's do it together, Kawarazaki-sensei!

Well...

Kawarazaki-chan?

I won't.

It's true you can't change all your lessons at once...

The third years will leave in November anyway...

So change the lesson content for Years 1 and 2.

I think that'll be fine.

Well then, if you would, everyone.

I thought you'd be the first to support him, Chihiro-chan.

What?

You said it, didn't you?

"I wish I could teach like Shimazu-sensei".

I did, but...

Somehow I felt trapped.

Did you feel like Narumin was ordering you to?

An inexperienced principal who doesn't understand education.

It's not that...

I don't think you're being honest...

You're frustrated, right?

Huh?

How long is it since you've had a boyfriend?

5 years? 6?

How is that relevant?

7 years?

It's 5 years?

Why don't you get a new one?

Kaoru-san...

You don't even go on group dates, do you?

Don't tell me you're planning to stay single?

That's not true, I would like to get married!

I just haven't met anyone!

Then how about going on one of Kawarazaki-sensei's group dates?

I hate those.

I can't stand all that small talk.

It's Shimazu-sensei.

Shimazucchi?

"Shimazucchi"?

What?

It's Shimazu.

Is something wrong?

Trouble with a student?

Ah, no...

Please come and join me, for a study meeting.

Eh?

Let's create new lessons together!

Fine.

Well then...

See you tomorrow.

Yes.

Sorry for disturbing you.

What did he say?

He said "Let's create new lessons together".

Why didn't he invite me?

Because I'm married?

As I thought, Shimazucchi likes you~

He doesn't!

No no no...

I couldn't date a younger man!

No no...

Why do you keep saying that?

20th century education.

It involves teachers giving knowledge

and students receiving it.

In order to keep the students' attention,

teachers shout at them.

Hey! Are you listening?!

In other words. teachers and students

have forced communication

that flows entirely one way.

I see...

What's more, during those lessons,

the teachers know the answers

and ask the students what they are.

The only goal is to find the right answer.

So the only praise

goes to the first student to find the correct answer.

You understand properly.

Why don't the rest of you?

The problem with this educational style

is that there are always students who don't achieve the goal.

Students who can never reach the goal

will naturally come to hate studying.

That's our students!

Mendel found 3 laws of inheritance.

The law of dominance.

Heterozygous genotypes have an advantage...

Think of Active Learning as more like club activities.

Club activities?

Yes.

You start with the coach explaining the day's task.

Then the members start practising.

In other words, they play by themselves.

Play by themselves?

To get stronger, and to win contests,

they encourage and reprimand each other to improve.

That's true.

But it can't just be left to the club members, right?

The coach monitors the atmosphere and flow of practice,

and must be available to give advice.

Precisely!

It's possible to hold lessons

in the same way.

I think I could!

Will you stand on the podium, Principal?!

I will!

Huh?!

Timing by Goshiki no Fansub

Yeah!

Lessons like club activities

Teachers create the flow.

Lessons where the students find the answers by themselves.

Don't just spoon-feed the students

You'll be teaching maths?

Yes.

From now on, permanently?

That's my intention.

You'll get more and more stressed.

That's why I'm studying in here!

Pardon?

If I begin to feel bad,

you can help me immediately, can't you?

I'm going out now.

This project can't fail, can it?

It's your team's responsibility, Gotōda.

We'll do our best.

Don't just do your best, get it done!

We'll definitely do it.

What's next?
