Last month, when the weather became severely cold, a public junior high school in Hiroshima City instructed students who came to school wearing jumpers not to wear them based on "school rules".
Last week, when it was reported on NHK, it received a great response.
On the 13th, this junior high school reviewed the conventional response, saying, ``For the time being, it is allowed to wear jackets such as windbreakers.''
Not allowed by "school rules" Parents ask for review
On the 25th of last month, when the coldest air of this winter flowed in and the snow intensified, a male student at a Hiroshima municipal junior high school came to school wearing a jumper. left school without a jumper.
The next day, the student has a fever, and parents are asking for a review of the rules.
"For the time being, I will allow you to wear your jacket."
Regarding this, the school decided to review the rules regarding cold weather jackets and distributed a document to the parents of all students on the 13th.
The document stipulates that if a parent decides that wearing only a sweater or muffler against the cold, which has traditionally been permitted under school rules, will have an impact on the child's health, "for the time being, a windbreaker, etc., will be worn over the uniform." I accept the wearing of kimono."
However, it says, ``Considering that schools are places of learning, they should not be extravagant, and they should be able to fit in a bag due to storage space constraints.''
The school side "responded considering the health of the students"
Regarding this, the school said, ``There is a possibility that it will be cold from now on, so we have responded with consideration for the health of the students.'' Yes, from a safety point of view, I would like it to be a size that fits in a bag."
In Hiroshima City, there are other schools that do not normally allow the wearing of coats and jumpers like this school, but some schools temporarily allowed the wearing of coats and jumpers at the end of last month when it became severely cold.
On the other hand, regarding the school's response to this time, which instructed students not to wear jackets, there were many opinions on SNS that questioned the operation of school rules that lacked flexibility and the rules of school rules themselves.
In response to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's revision of the student guidance handbook last December, the Hiroshima City Board of Education said, We are preparing to issue a notice to all municipal schools as early as this month.
