From: Jeff Whitmore
To: Kenji Okamoto
Date: January 10, 2015
Subject: Request for advice
----
Dear Mr. Okamoto,
My name is Jeff Whitmore, and my daughter, Anna, is one of your students.
As you know, we just moved back to Japan six months ago after living in
Chicago for three years. Although she had attended schools in Japan before
we went to Chicago, it's Anna's first year at a Japanese junior high
school. My wife and I are a little worried about her, and we're hoping
that it would be okay to ask you for advice.
She's getting good grades, and likes her classes and teachers. In
particular, she [has a penchant for] numbers and loves her math class.
She often talks about your fun English class, too. However, after almost
half a year, it doesn't seem like she's made any friends. Last week, she
said that she usually reads by herself during breaks between classes while
other girls are hanging out and chatting. Anna also mentioned that she
walks to school alone every day. This is very different from how she was
in the US.
I understand that it can take time to make friends at a new school, but
I still have concerns that she may be a bit isolated. I think it would be
better for her to develop a group of good friends as soon as possible.
Even just one close friend would be a good first step. I've never
contacted one of my daughter's homeroom teachers before and hope that I'm
not bothering you. I just thought that you might know more about her life
at school. If you have any ideas about how she can make more personal
connections, I would be happy to hear them.
Sincerely,
Jeff Whitmore

Dear Mr. Whitmore,
It's always nice to hear from a parent of one of my students, and I'll
be happy to help you if I can. I've talked with Anna one-on-one on several
occasions and find her to be a delightful person who is confident and
friendly. Actually, I'm surprised to hear about your concerns as she seems
to get along well with other students in the class. Probably, she'll soon
form close friendships, but I do have a few ideas for you to consider that
may help her do this.
First, our school has many different clubs that offer good environments
for developing friendships. I know that she enjoys music, so perhaps she
would like to join the chorus. If she prefers sports, we have a volleyball
club, a soccer club, and even a karate club. Also, I'm currently
organizing a new English club. We will meet once a week to talk and to
enjoy music and movies in English. If Anna joins or even takes a
leadership role, she can connect with other students who have a shared
interest -- English. I know of one Japanese student from another class who
has spent time in New Zealand and is planning to participate. They may
find a lot in common.
Another approach is to create social situations where she can be the
center of attention. Anna told me you often had barbecue parties in your
garden in the US. If it's possible, you could have an American-style
barbecue party and invite some of the students in her class. I'm sure it
would be an exciting experience for them. Possibly, Anna would be more
herself at home and they would get to know her better.
From my experience, I honestly think you have nothing to worry about and
feel confident she will establish friendships sooner or later on her own.
But, if you feel that any of my ideas will help, please let me know, and
we can consider the next step.
Best regards,
Kenji Okamoto
