Obviously this question cannot be commented on by people who are not married, cause they wouldnt know.Even the watching of parents who have fallen apart is no example, because most married couples would be able to see where they have gone wrong, as the child can.
Marriage's advantage is that it will save the world. How can the world get along, if we cant even get along in marriage? I dont think it is possible.
Children are an expression of that love; it is not a good idea to endorse the idea that children are property of the mother and father. Why do couples who cant have children, yearn for, or cry over not being able to? Children, also tests our faith in the world, and our ability to be able to get along.
Marry into love and you will see how beautiful and rich you can be, until then, You Will Not Know.

I really wonder whether you will see Japanese protestors that obviously protesting? No need for the Chinese escort. Of course there is always the flamboyant gaijin around who undoubtedly would have the hide......

Costs are relative to what choice you make. Childbirth through midwifery cost the same as the amount reimbursed from the government, and it is now available before hand. Kindergarten is not compulsory. Education until 16 is provided, and after that there is a multiple of choices depending on your pocket style, and your childs will. Housing, well I know there is expensive rentals, I also know there is cheap ones. It all comes down to peoples' choices and sacrifices. What choice of lifestyle versus what style of family. Children do not cost, as much as some lifestyles.

I think the word patriotism involves passion of, I think country, involving the National Anthem and the flag, binds the schools more than upholds, or doesn't uphold a history of. I would guess increasing patriotism within education and schools would mean more to a locality, rather than the whole country itself, and that is a good thing. I do also think though, that it is not the role of teachers, but the school, to teach passion and patriotism.

This article is all personal opinion. Nothing substantiates the arguments given. The low birthrate results from people's choices. You can choose the suggested route of this article, but there is other choices, and quite feasible choices for having children in Japan. When having a child, sacrifices are needed, and it all depends on what people are willing to sacrifice.

I would ask what is isolation? Surrounded with 1000+ people, community, and not to mention a very extended family, homeschooling would give her freedom and variation. It would be conducive to study as her relationship with her mother would be allowed to grow, and that is also necessary for study.
Princess Masako has personality traits some similar to Princess Diana, would she, could she, be as so bold as Diana, on her ideals about motherhood.
The Queen has showed her interests of cutting costs by selling her family home in the past. I like the Japanese Royalty.

I think a lot of harsh feelings towards the Princesses is not necessary.
It is a pity Princess Masako has not heard of Homeschooling.
She is very smart, and it would give her a chance to be a Mother.
It would also cost a lot less because there would not be the necessity of security around the school.
Also, as friend's are already being determined, the choice to Homeschool and have some Class lessons of subjects where a tutor was used-for example, Shamisen-within the home, would allow for social interaction. The friend's could also be more varied in their backgrounds, which would lead to a fuller understanding of the society that she represents.
Most importantly though, it would take a stance, to parents, and education and the economics surrounding it.
I feel for the mother and daughter and hope they can be bold enough to take a stance in this. Princess Masako, this you can do. It is within your power.
How can I write a letter?!
