Shido: Education and Selection in a Japanese Middle School.
Shimizu, Kokichi
Comparative Education, v28 n2 p109-29 1992
The notion of "Shido" (comprehensive social involvement of the teacher in guiding the student) explains how Japanese educational system incorporates, without conflict, apparently contradictory elements: egalitarian group focus in elementary school and student stratification by ability and socioeconomic status in high school. Focuses on role of middle school teachers in guiding students to choose "realistic" options for the future. (SV)
