Yuriko Koike, the governor of Tokyo, announced that she would ask elementary and middle school students in Tokyo to write a “thank you letter to medical workers” for a medical institution dealing with the new coronavirus infection, but on the internet, ” Thank you”. There are voices like “annoyance” and “you’re impressed by the semi-mandatory thank you letter.”
How do you accept these points? I asked the Metropolitan Education Agency.

“No one is going to ask me.”
Governor Koike spoke about the “thank you letter” at a press conference on December 21, 2020.
“It is no exaggeration to say that the health care delivery system in the field relies on the dedicated efforts of the medical staff. Convey our heartfelt thanks to all of you primary and secondary school students in Tokyo. Also, I would like to thank the nurses and other medical professionals and ask them to send a New Years card right now. The children who will carry the future of Tokyo are now fighting at the helm of Corona. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you. “
Of course, the capital also provides financial support. For medical institutions that accept patients during the end of the year and New Year, 300,000 yen per day will be paid for seriously ill patients and 70,000 yen per day for mild and moderate patients. In addition, depending on the time required to secure the system per day, 150,000 yen for 4 hours for medical institutions responsible for treatment and medical examinations (37,500 yen per hour for more), 8 for dispensing pharmacies per day. It is said that 30,000 yen will be paid per day on the condition that the opening is longer than one hour.
However, on Twitter, immediately after the meeting, that question about the “thank you letter” was raised.
“No one is going to ask me.”
“Who is impressed by the semi-mandatory thank you letter?”
“A letter of thanks for elementary and high school students to medical workers is the same as for Senbazuru in the disaster area.”
“I am grateful and upset”
“Why do elementary and middle school students who are more patient have to write a thank you letter?”
On the other hand, “It feels good to write a thank you letter, and if you imagine what is happening in the book today, or if you write a letter with the other person’s feelings, I think the number of friendly children will increase. education, is it mandatory? It’s easy to say w, but I don’t think it’s bad. “
Regarding the “thank you” to medical workers, the statement of the Nursing Management Society was noted on the 10th. We urge the public to take prudent action to protect their health and medical practice, not to look at medical professionals with prejudices and say, “We just do our job, so thank you. I don’t need words. I just want you to focus on breastfeeding.”
“I don’t ask all the children to write it down.”
A person in charge of the Education Policy Division of the Department of General Affairs of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Education Agency told J-CAST News on the 22nd: “The thank you letter is for all public elementary and secondary schools and Tokyo Private Jurisdiction It is the Office of Life and Culture, but we are coordinating together. “
According to Tokyo statistics, in fiscal year 2008 there are more than 2,100 public and private primary and secondary schools in Tokyo. “I don’t know” which school will deliver the letter to which medical institution. The person in charge said: “We are asking you to write a letter in the form of ‘to medical workers’ and we are adjusting to reach medical workers who are working during the end of the year and Corona New Years holidays.”
A letter of appreciation is sent from the capital to the district, city, town and village education committee, which is the founder of public primary and secondary schools, and each board of education transmits it to the school. The New Years cards do not use official postcards, but ask them to write messages and illustrations on postcard-sized cards. When completed, each school sends it to the Tokyo Board of Education and the Tokyo Board of Education delivers it to each medical institution.
The person in charge nods his head, “I think that’s correct,” in response to the voice flagged on the net, “I don’t want you to.”
“The capital doesn’t ask all children to write, and I can’t ask much of them. I’m not saying” (at least) how many people should write. “” Why don’t you support medical institutions? “And the writing style. it is left to the judgment of each school, including “Let’s write by grade ○”.
In response to the prompt that it would be “thank you”, he said:
“I can’t send a message when it occurs to me. And of course, the medical staff who received it don’t have to thank or respond. It depends on how the recipient is feeling, but I hope it encourages me. I’m doing it with my thoughts
Children are forced to put up with their school life, but writing a thank you letter also means something like this.
“I don’t think the children have anything to do with the current social situation. Given what Corona can do for society, I believe that sending a message to healthcare professionals is also an educational activity. “
