It was about 15 years ago that my relationship with junior high school students deepened. At that time, Kamiiida Junior High School continued to be difficult to educate, and many school officials and local people were worried.

To improve this situation, the community and schools have started various initiatives in cooperation.

At that time, there were many illegal buildings, vacant lots, and undeveloped forests around Kamiiida Junior High School, so in order to improve the educational environment, we petitioned Yokohama City to crack down on illegal buildings and responded. Did.
In the area, we worked with junior high schools to improve the environment, such as removing illegal dumping garbage in vacant lots, pruning trees to improve visibility with the permission of forest owners, and mowing grass.

Gradually, the students gradually regained their calm, and the educational environment has been improved and continues.
