Find out the issue in 1 minute! “Should we let high school students coach high school baseball?”
Due to the lowering of the age of majority, high school students are now considered adults, making it a realistic option for high school baseball coaches to be high school students. Traditionally, it was common for classes to be taught by adults, but new laws now allow adult high school students to supervise other high school students. In professional baseball, a player-manager plays an active role as a playing manager, and this may one day be applied to high school baseball as well. However, there are pros and cons to this change, and while there are benefits such as increasing participation
opportunities for students with low athletic ability and fostering independence, concerns have also been pointed out such as safety management issues and increased risk of bullying. . Discussions are needed about how to shape the future of high school baseball. Voting details

Introduction of voting results and comments (some excerpts/original text) High school students should coach high school baseball 7.5%
In the first place, extracurricular activities are a type of educational activity, and it is unhealthy to have a situation like high school baseball, where all adults pay attention to student sports and enjoy them as entertainment. Considering the original purpose of club activities, which is to train the mind and body and experience team play, it is actually okay for the students to choose a coach and captain from among themselves, and the role of the advisor is to simply be a safety supervisor. It may be limited to .
High school students should not coach high school baseball 71.7% Being a director or a commander comes with a heavy responsibility that is different from being the student council president or class representative, and it is not something to play around with. That’s why I think it’s a heavy burden for high school students.
Whether or not a high school student should coach high school baseball should be left to the discretion of the school 15.1%
Since the teacher is a teacher and has a class in charge, I think it is common for students to have club activities. If students continue to practice alone, I think that some students may come out who are better suited to give instructions than the director (adviser), so I will leave it to the discretion of the school whether or not a high school student will act as the director. I think you should decide. Others 3.8%
It would depend on the school’s policy, but I think it would be a good idea to let the club members decide. When a high school student becomes a director, the teacher becomes an assistant director. I think that having club members participate in decision-making will help improve independence and cooperation in the group society going forward, and since they have made their own decisions, it will be an opportunity for them to experience the rights and obligations involved in making those decisions. I thought it would be. Furthermore, I felt that the title “Should I let them do it?” was too optimistic. Don’t know 1.9%
