In my school in New Zealand we called homeroom class a "Whanau" which means Familly in Te Reo Maori.
When I arrived at Freyberg High school for my first day, I went whanau n meet teachers n students in my Whanau. He was my Whanau teacher n my P.E. teacher.
He is a Japanese guy n his hometown is Amagasaki. i visited him in chrismas holiday last year.
we still keep in touch through e mails.

It's cool that they call it 'family'. Do you think there was a stronger connection than students and teachers usually have in a Japanese homeroom?
ReplyDeletewow that's very interesting!!i really think its nice to call homeroom classes "family" cuz thats where you get to see or meet the same student members and the teachers. homeroom is like a home in school since you get to see the "family members" every day and spend most time with them:)
