「京大医学部４名合格講師」による受験対策講座（２６）

All the secrets to success are found in failure.  Mistakes promote creativity.   (Carl Pace Worthy)

　塾や予備校に魔法を期待する生徒が多い。それは、予備校や塾の宣伝方法に問題があるからだ。

「ウチに来てくれたら偏差値を１０アップさせます！」

「成績が上がらなかったら授業料を返還します！」

「無料で講習会が受講できます」

　もう集客のためなら何でもアリ。とても教育機関と言えない状況だ。不況で、少子化で、過当競争。生き残りをかけているので自分たちが何をやっているのか自覚さえない。しかし、騙される方も悪い。

　学力向上には「秘密の方法」など存在しない。地味に毎日コツコツやるしかない。たとえば、英単語は難関大をめざすなら６０００語ほど必要だ。講習会に通ったら６０００語頭に入りますか？できるわけがない。毎日コツコツ覚える以外の方法はないのです。

　数学は２０００題解けば、難関大のボーダーに達する人が多い。では、夏休みの講習会で２０００題を解ききれますか？人間の頭はそのように作られていない。毎日コツコツ。これ以外はないのです。

　Many students expect magic from cram schools and prep schools. This is because there is a problem with the way preparatory schools and cram schools advertise.

"If you come to our school, we will raise your deviation score by 10!

If your grades don't improve, we'll refund your tuition!

If your grades don't improve, we'll refund your tuition.



　Anything is possible to attract customers. It is a situation that cannot be described as an educational institution. The economy is in a recession, the birthrate is declining, and there is excessive competition. They are so desperate to survive that they are not even aware of what they are doing. However, those who are deceived are also at fault.



　There is no "secret method" to improve academic performance. The only way is to do it steadily and diligently every day. For example, if you want to enter a difficult university, you need about 6,000 words of English vocabulary. Can you get 6,000 words if you attend a course? There is no way you can. There is no other way but to memorize them steadily every day.



　Many people solve 2,000 problems in mathematics and reach the borderline of a difficult university. Then, can you solve 2000 problems in a summer course? The human mind is not made that way. Stick to it every day. There is no other way.
