A Murder of a 1st-grade Girl

Yesterday a 1st-grade girl was found dead in Hiroshima. She seemed to be murdered while she was walking back to her home from school. To prevent this kind of sad event in the future, schools should make students walk home in groups. Moreover, parents should sometimes--if not everyday--walk to school and back home with their children; this arrangement can also facilitate cooperation between school and family. There must be greater cooperation between the two institutions to bring up children properly and solve many problems surrounding Japanese education.
