    1. American kids would be screaming and jumping up and down laughing. Source: I’m a teacher.

    2. We had something similar, except it wasn’t a test track, the police just closed off the road in front of the elementary school and rammed a kid sized dummy perched on a pylon

      It’s imperative that they learn these situations since it’s normal in Japan for young kids (as early as 5 yrs old) to walk/bus/train themselves to school and back.

      In my country, children go to soccer schools where parents argue and fight with each other.

    5. First thought “what if a piece of that flies into the crowd? Oh wait, they got the hats, don’t they?”

      Second thought “And THAT, Yoshida, is why algebra is important. Now, who had the second to worst grade?”

    6. I can still remember my grandmother grabbing my arm and telling me that I needed to be careful. That I need to watch out for the cars because they won’t watch out for me.

      I was 4 and we were walking back to the car from the grocery store. I had just stepped off the curb & wasn’t paying attention. Apparently she pulled me back & kept a large car from making me go splat. I completely missed that there was a large car coming up on me. But I’ll never forget the death grip on my arm. I had finger bruises for a week. I’ll say I definitely learned my lesson.

      I taught my stepson that saying. He now repeats it to his friends. “Watch out for the cars because they won’t watch out for you”
