Sayuri apologizes for controversy over rejection of homework, brazen attitude, reflecting on all my fault (Death Note)



Broadcaster Sayuri explained and apologized for the homework controversy.

On the 26th, Sayuri's death note uploaded a video of 'I explain why Sayuri doesn't do her child's homework.'"

Earlier, Sayuri appeared on A-list Jang Young-ran, which aired in March, and revealed her son Jen's educational outlook. At the time, he said "Korea makes us study English a lot. I wanted my child to speak Korean perfectly"If you use Japanese at home and English outside, your Korean may not be good enough."




Then "There was an English kindergarten homework, and I told the teacher 'My son never does his homework. I'm against doing homework at this age, too. I'm proud of my son who doesn't do his homework, so never send my son homework"I was worried that my homework would dampen my curiosity about the language. If you hate English and your curiosity decreases, you end up not doing it,' he said, explaining his educational philosophy.

However, controversy erupted after the remarks were made public. There was also a positive evaluation as an educational method that respects children's tastes and interests, but some pointed out that it is contradictory to refuse homework while attending an English kindergarten. There was also criticism that "'Homework is not just learning, but the process of learning social rules, but Sayuri's actions ignored it.'"

Five months after the controversy, Sayuri finally spoke. He told the production team who came home "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. I made a slip of the tongue," he said with a mixed expression.




Sayuri responded to the controversy "I didn't expect it to grow that big. I watched the video, too, and confidently said 'I'm not doing it' and looked brazen. It doesn't look good even to me." Then "I'd like to ask the teacher "He said ', and the teacher said it was okay. The students did not do their homework together. Kindergarten also has rules, but I don't think I thought about it that much. I think I learned a lot once again through my fault. They scolded me a lot and worried about me. It's the process of growing up, and I'm reflecting on myself because I found out about it this time."

Also "Jen is 5 years old, so she has to go to elementary school after 2 years, and she needs to know the rules for sure. I didn't do my homework at all when I was young. I don't think I cared about the rules or anything. But I realized again that I shouldn't do that. It can't be like me. I hope you learn a lot with a better life and a good personality than me. I want to grow something that I couldn't do or something that I was weak about" he said. His parents in Japan are also aware of the controversy, adding that `"Mother should do her homework. Or it becomes like you. I said, 'I shouldn't be like you.'"

Sayuri's mother, who appeared in the video, said "Sayuri didn't do her homework, but it was her father's fault. I didn't do it because I said, "You don't have to do your homework." You must do your homework"The study of school and the study of children should be taken care of by parents." Homework must be done. In addition, parents should study better than homework by their side. The homework is for the teacher to support the children. Please back it up. Parents and children should all do their homework hard."
