Hello everyone.

Today is the 2nd day of the new academic year in 2024.

This morning, all members will share the Management Vision of Manabiya Yume no Mori

To the readers of this note, I'm sure many of you already know this, but the worldview that Manabiya Yume no Mori aims for is as follows.

Respect “me”, respect "you"

Let's create the future together.

General Manager Ippei Nango asked us:

"Do you understand what this means?

I’d like you to think how would express this vision in your own words. ”

I kept my ears open for an important point out of fear that I might miss it

Eventually, my mind started to drift in the air out of habit.

I··. I····.

"I'' is literally just "I''.

Of course, Yume no Mori is a "compulsory education school" and children should be given priority in everything.

However, I do not want to sacrifice myself or disrespect anyone "for the sake of the children."

At Yume no Mori, there are not only children and students, but also auditors.

Also, each designer has their own dreams and beliefs.

Furthermore, a “dream forest” is created not only by the school but also by the local community.

I feel that Yume no Mori is more than just a school; it is a community hub, a cultural hub, and a symbol of hope for the town.

Our school is moving across the sea, carrying the thoughts of many people, not just the children and faculty.

That's why we want to be a place of learning that is more open to people of all ages and genders than anywhere else.

This is my personal opinion, but I've been feeling this strongly lately.

What about you? What do you think?

What do you all think about the seemingly lyrical "Yume no Mori Vision"?

Let's continue to explain with confidence.

When we think of “education,” we often think

“For the future of our children.”

I'll never forget sentences like "For the happiness of all children."

Well, I agree...However, some people feel a little uncomfortable because they can't do it.

Isn't it too beautiful?

Let's describe it like stroking a bald head.

When we consider the purpose of education, there must also be a "national imperative'' to raise adults who can fulfill their tax obligations as a nation-state.

Of course, this is just one of aspect of the countless multifaceted world of education. When it comes to discussions about education, I think there are so many different opinions from so many different people, and there is no absolute wrong in that.

Isn't it a shame that the countless opinions are boiled down to the catchy phrase "for the sake of the children"?

"Don't make the Yume no Mori official notebook your personal property!"

It seems like other people can hear me shouting this too. Some may agree with that criticism.

But that's fine.

“I can't stay silent!” “I can't stay still!” This is proof of independence.

When people mobilize their autonomy, things change, for better or worse.

This is what "Wacha-wacha" means.

However, when I look back after finishing “Wacha-wacha”, the “path” of Yume no Mori remain clear... at least I think so.
