Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.The UC Haiti Initiative @ UC Berkeley is the local chapter of UCHI’s unprecedented system-wide organization. Driven by UC students, faculty, researchers, administrators and supporters, together we continue to organize locally in the ongoing effort to leverage the diverse, passionate talents from across all ten UC campuses into a twinning model with the Université d’état d’Haïti (UEH), or State University of Haiti, to find real solutions to the poverty created and perpetuated by the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January of 2010. In response, this chapter is a call to action that has established a close connection between the student body, faculty and administrators to ensure that Haiti’s rebuilding and long-term goals are met through collaboration in higher education. Over the past three years we have: Participated in the annual Global Outreach Week, book drive, and forum for discussing “Sustainable International Development Approaches”

Submitted successful proposal in Big Ideas Contest  (2012) Established and run our annual DeCal (Democratic Education @ Cal), a student-facilitated course that focuses approximately 30 students that enroll each quarter  complete coursework on “Rebuilding Haiti through a Multidisciplinary Approach.” The course is being offered again this year – for more information click here.

If one wants to find the roots of Japanese business habits, where men wear uniforms of dark suits to work and ignore their families and socialize entirely with their colleagues, the schools are a good place to start. Children form the same kind of bond with their peers, focusing their lives on school chums rather than neighbors or families, and the cohesive force is as much a presence in daily life as gravity: After a week, Gregory was rummaging through his clothes drawer and saying that instead of jeans he wanted to wear shorts like his school friends.

This may indeed stunt individuality, as many Japanese commentators believe, and it may exert pressure on kids who stick out. One boy hassled and pinched Gregory, apparently in part because he was different. On the other hand, the sense of teamwork is very impressive, and the distrust of ''soto,'' or outside, did not prevent first grade girls from forming a crush on Gregory, probably because he was different.I was walking along the sidewalk once with Gregory and a car driving by came to a screeching halt beside us. A little girl in the back seat rolled down her window and yelled frantically, ''Gregory! He looked at her as if she had girl germs and marched on, probably breaking her heart -- and no doubt leaving her mom, who was driving the car, thinking that American education tends to stunt the friendliness of children.We were in for some surprises from the first day of Miss Ikeda's class. Above all, despite all the talk about Japanese schools stunting individuality, the Japanese system went to far greater lengths to teach individual responsibility.

When Gregory entered his class for the first time, he had to stand in front and introduce himself to the class. On the next day, he had to introduce himself to the entire student body at the morning meeting on the playground. The teacher coached him on how to bow and shout out: ''My name is Gregory Kristof, and I am a first grader. I would be grateful if you would help me out.''It should have been a terrifying experience, but it was not. The atmosphere was gentle, so that it was obvious that if Gregory messed up, that was fine too. When Gregory stepped into his first grade class and looked around wide-eyed at 37 faces, his self-introduction was little more than a whisper, without much of a bow. Yet Miss Ikeda simply thanked him warmly and asked another student to show him his seat and answer any questions that came up.That use of students to help others and fill adult-like roles is also a hallmark of Japanese schools. There are no janitors, for the students themselves have a daily cleaning time when they scrub the floors and windows and toilets.

There is no cafeteria, and students themselves bring the food from a preparation room and serve it to other children.Gregory's proudest week was when he was on the ''lunch duty'' and he got to wear a white uniform and cap and was let out with a few others to bring the food and serve it. While I raved about the idea of kids cleaning the schools, however, Gregory was less impressed by the ''Honorable Cleaning,'' as it is called in school.''It's boring,'' he protested. ''I don't think it's a good idea.''THE biggest surprise, though, came when we asked what time we should pick Gregory up after school.''Oh, the kids walk home by themselves,'' a teacher explained.''But he's only a first grader. Surely all the kids don't go home by themselves?''We encourage them to walk to and from school on their own. Sure enough, all the Japanese children walk to and from school by themselves, and a few even take buses or the subway if their school is far away. Most go with friends, but many walk on their own.

This is of course possible only in a country with safe streets, but still the sight of six-year-olds emerging from the subway to go to school tended to undermine the stereotype of Japan as a country where children are robots who are incapable of individual activity.Likewise, the notion that Japanese schools stifle creativity took a blow when I saw that all the children learn to play the piano. Music and art are a much more important part of the curriculum in Japan than in the United States, and they are one facet of creative expression. Moreover, the math teaching used story problems and other methods to drive home the principles of what they were learning. Instead of simply doing addition drills, for example, Miss Ikeda would call out a number, and the children would have to shout out how many more would equal ten. So if she called out six, the class was supposed to answer with a chorus of ''four.''In the end, my impression of Japanese elementary school was excellent. There was far more teaching of math and of reading and writing than would be the case in most American schools -- Gregory now reads better in Japanese than in English -- and it seemed that this was in part a function of Japan simply taking primary education more seriously than America does.

For one thing, although Americans view themselves as modernists, it is the United States that sticks with an anachronism like a school year based on an agricultural society, in which children take off for the summer to help with farmwork. Until recently Japan was an agricultural country, but it saw its future in education rather than fieldwork, and so children go to school in the summer. They do have a month-long summer vacation, but during that time they must write a daily journal and do other homework. The result is that fall does not need to be spent repeating what was taught the previous spring.In addition, teachers in Japan are first rate, are paid excellent wages and enjoy high prestige. Moreover, Japanese children benefit from the gender discrimination that Japanese women suffer: It is difficult for the smartest women to become doctors or lawyers in Japan, so while brilliant American women become brain surgeons or university professors, brilliant Japanese women often become elementary school teachers.

Year-round school and first-rate teachers are expensive, of course, but Japan views those as essentials and cuts corners in other areas. Aside from the lack of cafeterias and janitors, there is no air conditioning and buildings are old and rudimentary. Moreover, classes are large -- nearly 40 pupils in Gregory's first grade class -- and they function only because so much of the responsibility is assigned to the students themselves. Gregory's Japanese is fluent but not native level, and so when he did not understand something, a boy named Kubori-kun was detailed to explain it to him, the idea being that this would help both of them.ALL this school sounds as if it would be all work and no play, and indeed the average child in Asia has had one to two more years in a classroom by the time he or she enters junior high than the average American child. But the saving grace was a boisterous emphasis on fun in the classroom. Kids were always shouting and clowning around, with none of the discipline that people assume is drilled into them, and the student-teacher ratio was so large that the classroom was mostly on the lip of chaos.
