The Queen's Classroom / Jyoou no Kyoushitsu / 女王の教室 Full Series Episode 1-11 + Special English Sub and Chinese Sub

Synopsis: (DramaWiki) :

Yuki Amami plays Maya Akutsu, a sixth-grade teacher who dresses all in black and is repeatedly referred to as "oni sensei" (the teacher from hell), when, in fact, she seems to be an ultrarealist at heart. The drama focuses on a year in her classroom and, particularly, the effect it has on 12-year-old Kazumi--a nice but mediocre student whose parents want to send her to a private secondary school.

Akutsu-sensei accomplished this feat by introducing a test-based rank and privilege system on the first day. The highest scorers on the Monday morning test get their choice of seats and other perks while the two lowest scorers are burdened with all the chores for the week from blackboard and toilet cleaning to serving lunch. The system also disallows toilet breaks during class because this reflects an inability to manage one's own schedule.

Kazumi gets the first week's work assignment along with the class clown, a warmhearted boy who is not nearly as silly as he acts. The child actors in the series are all likeable pros who give realistic portrayals of the wide spectrum of an average classroom from the isolated serious students to the sophisticated girls who think they already know what life is all about. Akutsu-sensei lets them know immediately that they do not have a clue.

When the students protest her system and call it unfair, she tells them to open their eyes. In Japanese society, she lectures, those who work hard or have influence get all the privileges, and the lazy or less affluent end up with the leftovers. She says only six in 100 people can expect to be happy and the elite already have most of the advantages and access to the best medical care. She tells them that, as products of the public school system, they will have to scramble to get anything at all, and most of them will end up as "bonjin" (ordinary people), to whom those on the top will be happy to leave the soldiering and service-sector jobs.

Review: The Queen's Classroom / Jyoou no Kyoushitsu / 女王の教室

Based on the title, most people should know the main story of this drama. Yeap this drama revolves around students and teacher. Hey seems to have alot of classroom related dramas like gokusen, dragon zakura and etc. All of these dramas revolves around one class and a teacher. Usually in this kind of drama, we, the audiences can see that the teacher is good - one who cares alot of his/her students ; striving his/her best to help the students, while the students will take times through epsiodes to realise the good of the teacher. However, in this drama, all the way we will see how this teacher is been strict to her students and how bad she is treating her students. So is she a demon or a hidden angel?

I think this is another drama that is worth watching (haha seems like every drama that i have watched is worth watching.. lol). Another realistic drama that shows how is a classroom looks like - a place where you make friends, a place where you get bully if you are weak, a place where you betray by your good friends and a place where you are able to make good or bad memories. I am kind of sick with those bully who bully the weak. The teacher is definitely a good teacher who teaches in a very different way. She taught her students to learn in the hard way, made her students realise how harsh is the society, made them realise the reality. No one understands the way she taught, only the students that she has taught realised at the end. I am quite amazed by those students who are only elementary students and able to realise the good of the teacher. In reality, are elementary students really that mature enough to understand good teachers who go in the hard way in teaching them? Perhaps that is the power of that good teacher or the elementary students are really mature to think in that way or it just because it is a drama?
