Three interesting facts about Japanese school life?

Question

Any interesting facts.

Answer 1

1. Japanese students, including elementary school kids, go to school by themselves. There is no such thing as a school bus in Japan. In general, most elementary school kids walk to and from school with small groups of children. High school students go to school on foot, by bicycle, or by public transportation, depending of the distance to the school.

2. Japanese students, from elementary to high school, clean their classrooms, hallways, and bathrooms everyday.

3. Japanese students eat lunch together in their classrooms, prepared by the school or by a local "school lunch center." Small teams of students take turns to serve lunch to their classmates. There is no such thing as a cafeteria or lunchroom in Japanese schools.

Answer 3

Fact 1: The Japanese school system is considered so substandard by parents that they regularly shell out huge amounts of money to have their kids re educated at cram schools after school!
Fact 2: Japanese high school students are rapidly becoming some of the worst behaved, vacuous, anti social kids you'll find in Asia!!
Fact 3: The Japanese as a whole, find it very difficult to get away from the idea that kids should be subjected to extreme, military styled drilling throughout their school life, which allows teachers to treat them like boot camp recruits and opens the door to abuse. Such as making a sports team run around the field naked for not performing up to the coaches expectations.
Bonus fact: Education in Japan is a huge, mindless rat race, which instills an unnatural sense of competition in kids from kindy age. The basic progression is, get into a good kindy becuase this will get you into a good elementary school later. If you manage to get into a good elementary school, you are in a better position to get into a good junior high , and on and on until university. Upon graduation, you have the best chance of being hired by a big, famous company and joining the long grey ranks of anonymous salary men and women.
