| Summary |
Every school has its own atmosphere, called the "Hidden Curriculum," which exerts a great influence on the formation of students' attitudes. What can schools give to students throughout the 3 years of junior high school, and what can students acquire through school life? The purpose of this survey was to explore the answers to these questions. In recent years, there have been many reports about the dark side of school life, such as bullying and class disruption. This survey asked third-year junior high school students who were about to graduate to share their thoughts on the meaning of their junior high school life. |
