Hello.
My name is Hina, and I'm teaching new hires at a university drama club.
It's a traditional club where they practice every day and teach strictly, and many newcomers say it's hard and they want to quit.
They say they don't like it because they are stubborn and scared even if they are held back, they will regret it if they run away.
Is it OK to keep them like this?
as their life choices
Should we celebrate and cheer for quitting?
The newcomers are adults too,
There is also a limit to forcing people to keep doing something they don't like.
Do you think it was good if you continued the play and regretted it,
Do you think it was good to quit theater and regret it,
I don't know what life is ahead for them.
But Hinako probably thinks it was good to keep going.
It must have been difficult when I was a rookie,
But I'm glad I got through it now.
Why don't you talk about that experience?
The newcomers also liked theater, so they must have joined the club,
If I see hope for the future, I might be tempted to put up with it.
Even so, there will probably be people who quit,
It's that person's choice.
Even if you can't stop them,
It's not Hinako's responsibility,
I just want you to keep that in mind.
Hello. I read your consultation.
It's a very tough drama club, isn't it?
By the way, does Hinako agree with that guidance policy?
I thought that in a club, friends who shared the same ambitions would work hard and improve together.
If there are many juniors who are so strict and want to quit, maybe it's not time to omit the guidance policy again and think once again about whether that is really OK?
Even if it's a tradition, doesn't Hinako feel uncomfortable with that tradition because she's worried about children who are quitting?
Hinako's friends, who love theater, have a hard time, and maybe they don't like theater.
I don't think that's necessary...
I don't think everyone wants to be a pro at circle theater.
I think there are many people who want to spend a period in their lives to have a wonderful time with their friends by doing plays they love.
Isn't Hinako (or rather traditional teaching method) too conscious of “professional training schools”?
Even if it's a club that isn't strict like a “professional training school,” if everyone shines and plays happily, their awareness will improve little by little, their level will rise even more, and eventually people will become professionals.
I think it's harder to become a pro when you're forced to do things that aren't fun.
I think it's only with fun and hope that we can endure the rigors.
How about it?
If the traditional way of teaching cannot be changed by any means, let the children who want to quit stop doing it before they don't like it, and tell them that there are plenty of other places to study drama. So that I can continue playing happily in a place that suits me...

The circle and club activities are precious memories from my school days. I was also a member of the athletic judo club when I was a student. I was prepared to quit school because of the times when I said I wanted to quit school.
Even now, as time permits, I teach boys, middle school, and high school students, and supervise the OB team at my alma mater's high school.
Now, unlike in the past, restrictions don't work, they don't chase those who leave, and they don't refuse what comes.
Rather than stopping things I want to quit, I struggle day and night to find fun that I don't want to quit. They put up games that even weak players can enjoy. The strong ones will go to matches where they can improve their skills even more. Everyone can participate, etc., and all members of the club act as members of a team and teach while observing individual personalities. If it's fun, you won't quit, so it's necessary to make an effort to find fun. In this day and age, I don't think it's possible to forcibly leave club members who want to quit. I think it will be difficult to gather members and provide guidance, but please make more communication so that we can understand each other steadily.
Conclusion: I think it would be better to put in place a tolerant acceptance system without harvesting at the time of the buds before the flowers of the various possibilities of various people bloom.
There is a world where every industry is being harsher. It's also in the Osho world.
However, the main focus should not be strict guidance.
For the most part, such places can get off the road.
The fact that only people with physical strength can pass through and be recognized is a physical fitness version of harassment that is not academic harassment.
There are places like that even at ascetic dojos, but I felt that the anachronism was also severe.
Neither Buddha nor Dogen Zenji are making such a fuss. I don't think that's because people who are dumb and talented, ❝ get through ❞ even if they don't go through the Spartan Gate, and that doesn't mean that happened because they were bombarded.
What you yourself should seriously think about is not to misunderstand that ❝ the sense of accomplishment of overcoming harshness ❞ is that you have leveled up, that you have leveled up others, etc.
I think those who have the right amount of moderation and enjoyment can compete on an equal footing in the true sense of the word.
This is because not all people are necessarily blessed with physical strength.
You can get peace of mind, peace of mind, and enlightenment without experiencing the rigors.
Even if you don't have guts, guts, or tenacity, you can master the path of tricks.
I think there are times when you can pave the way by letting go of strength rather than penance.
