In the distant past, summer vacation homework was to dry mugwort, Chameleon plant , and plantain in the shade and submit about 1 kg of it to school. The teacher would weigh it and if it was not enough, additional instructions would be given. I think it was quite a lot for a child. Now that I think about it, this is how they bought their school materials, right?
There seems to be an extreme decrease in the number of plantain now. It used to grow all over the farm roads.
The slightly older students had to catch locusts for homework. This was probably part of the protein source for the postwar Japanese. This is the beginning of the entomophagy that is so popular today. But the tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce and sugar) of locusts is still delicious.
In the past, children had a lot of hands-on learning experiences, and every child was prepared to excel in his or her field of study.
