「平等」と「公平」あなたならどちらを選びますか？
「平等」とは全ての人に均等に機会が与えられると考えていませんか？
確かに教育課程ではすべての人に同じ課題が与えられ、それの結果によって優劣がつけられていたように思います。
しかし、実際の社会ではどうなのでしょうか？
以前のボヤキやブクログでも書いたように日本は「民主主義」を謳っている為、皆平等
であると勘違いしてしまいがちですが、実際そうではないように思います。
「平等」の利点は、既に他人より優れたものはその機会を多く与えられ、さらに成長していくチャンスが多くあるのではないでしょうか？恐らく、全ての人に均等に機会が与えられ、同じ目標設定なのなら能力値の高い人間が有利な世界それが「平等」なのではないでしょうか？
一方、「公平」とはその個人の能力に合わせて課題が与えられ、チャンスは均等ではないかもしれませんが、自分の能力以上のチャンスが舞い込んでくるなんてこともあるかもしれません。その個人がその時点における能力によって求められることは違い、それによって与えられる機会も個人によって異なります。
しかし、それこそが「公平」の利点であると考えます。
能力は違えど、何かの拍子で成長のチャンスを与えられたり、能力以外での評価対象が入ったりと、昨今よく耳にする「親ガチャ」も自分の力で少しは解決できるのではないでしょうか？
「平等」を義務教育で謳い過ぎ誰がために、その個人間の能力の差に気づき、あきらめる口実として「親ガチャ」という言葉がまん延しているのかもしれません。
義務教育の過程から、世の中は「公平であり残酷な面もある」ということを理解させるのも大切なのではないでしょうか？
そこでも、子供たちのモチベーションは落とさないようにうまく指導していく必要はあると思いますが.....

Today's blurbs

Equality" or "Fairness" Which would you choose?
Do you think "equality" means equal opportunity for all?
It is true that in the educational process, all people were given the same assignments and were assigned a superiority or inferiority based on the results of those assignments.
But what about in the real world?
As I have written in my previous blurbs and on my blog, because Japan is a "democracy," people tend to mistakenly believe that everyone is equal. However, I don't think this is actually the case.
The advantage of "equality" is that those who are already better than others are given more opportunities to excel and grow. Perhaps "equality" is a world in which everyone is given equal opportunities, and if the same goals are set, those with higher abilities have an advantage.
On the other hand, "fairness" is a world in which challenges are given to individuals according to their abilities, and although opportunities may not be equal, there may be opportunities that are beyond one's ability. What is required of an individual depends on his or her ability at the time, and the opportunities given to him or her will also differ from individual to individual.
However, we believe that this is the advantage of "fairness.
Although they have different abilities, they may be given opportunities for growth at some point, or they may be subject to evaluation based on something other than their abilities, and the "parental gacha" that we often hear about these days can be resolved a little by themselves.
Perhaps the term "parental gacha" has been spreading as an excuse for giving up and noticing the differences in abilities among individuals due to the over-emphasis on "equality" in compulsory education.
Isn't it important to make children understand that the world is "fair and cruel in some aspects" from the process of compulsory education?
Even there, I think we need to teach the children well so that they will not lose their motivation. .....
