At the nursery school where the nursery teacher was infected with the new corona, Kochi June 5, 14:33

While there are concerns about discrimination and prejudice against people infected with the new coronavirus and those around them, a class about heartwarming episodes is being held at the elementary school just reopened.

What this episode speaks to us.

This April, a nursery teacher at the Kamoda Nursery School in Kochi City was infected with the new coronavirus.

A few days after the infection was confirmed by the nursery teacher, Keiko Kuroiwa, director of the Kamoda nursery school, went to the nursery school and found something on the gate.

There was a lot of discrimination and slander against people infected and people around him all over the country, so President Kuroiwa approached with excitement...

There was a flag written in the children's letters, "Kanbare Kamo Daho Ikuen."

A message that I do not know who is the gift.
Kuroiwa, who was feeling tense because of various anxieties, was relieved, and tears flowed unintentionally.

This episode will be taken up as a lesson at elementary and junior high schools in Kochi City, which has just restarted.

From the standpoint of Director Kuroiwa, the children thought about the excitement of getting close to the flag and the feeling of tears when they saw the message.

Homeroom teacher "What
kind of excitement is it?" Child " Is n't it badly written ?" "It 's a mischievous paper."
Homeroom teacher "I felt like I'm sorry, but it's different. What are the tears at this time?"
Child "I thought it was a naughty thing, but I was so happy that I wrote a good thing, and I was crying."

They then discussed what they could do and found the answer, "If there are people around you, support them."

Director Kuroiwa, who was called to class.
I spoke to the children like this.

"It's said that words make me think. I was able to receive kindness, strength, and courage from the words I received from you this time. I want everyone who can live a way of valuing positive words. "I

must not lose compassion from the fear of the new coronavirus ."

The message of support continues to convey the importance to us.
