The present article first analyses the roles that contemporary schools in Japan are expected to play by parents. One of the most important roles that parents expect is the intellectual development of children. But the intellectual development that parents have in mind is one that can contribute to enabling their children to pass the entrance examinations of prestigeous schools and colleges. This is reflected in the gradual decrease in enrollment from lower grade to upper grade which is generally observed in "Japanese schools" for those Japanese school children who are outside of Japan This article proposes in the second place a community-wide team teaching as the system which can make it possible for schools to fulfill the intellectual development. Such a system must be developed as part of the educational planning on a community basis. It is to be envisaged in such a way that all community resources can be utilized for the intellectual development of children. If schools are to function as an agency for intellectual development, they should be so organized as to provide an adequate climate or culture for that purpose. The community-wide team teaching may contribute to realizing this.
