Crazy & Weird Japanese School Rules That You Won’t Understand!

[@cy6032]

I always thought it was pretty cool how a lot of Japanese utaite and singers dye their hair unusual colors and style their bangs so it covers or almost covers their eyes. now I’m thinking maybe it’s a reaction to all the years of strict school rules they had to endure.

[@HelloItsMikkan]

It is. Japanese schools pretty much wants students to follow a certain standards.

just can't understand why there are so few people watch this wonderful video

[@thulioperdigao3871]

There's also the rule to clean the school at the end of the class, right? I think this one is important because it encourages a sense of responsibility and team work. How did you understand it back then, Layla? Great video ❤️

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Oh, yes! I should have included in the video! Thank you very much☺️ When I was a student, I just cleaned because had to clean!

[@Johnnyvalentine_1]

This is such an informative video. It really gives alot of perspective. Thank you for your videos, I’m trying to look at them all ❤

[@edgarcamacho7773]

I like this concept of videos you are making

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Thank you very much!!☺️

[@nathanelward]

I wish my school was more like that, I might have done better. But some of these rules are a bit much, like no drinking in class and carrying 10kgs.

In Italy you’re forced to take your books with you in your backpack. So I get that feeling... too much weight

[@SuikoAkari]

Sarò fortunato io che quest'anno ho solo quaderni e avremo i libri sull'ipad

[@Femcel_Fujoshi]

In UK too

Thank you for sharing, Layla. (Out of curiosity, were you named after Eric Clapton's song of that title?) The rules in the schools I went to in the U.S. weren't as crazy as this, but they had their share: no outdoor coats and hats worn inside the building, no shirttails hanging outside your pants, and of course those rules for which you had to write 50 times if you broke them, "Chewing gum is against Park School's rules," "Profanity is the refuge of the unimaginative," or "If I can't say anything polite, I should be quiet." Speaking of which, one of the most frustrating rules in my other school was, on the bus to or from PE, "This bus is on silence!" When a kid responded, "Hip, hip, hep, hop, ho!" he got in return, "All right, DeVoe, ten laps for you tomorrow!" Speaking of sports, like your school, mine had a lot of pressure to sign up for what it always called "Optional Sports," though if you didn't opt for them you could be called a "sissy" or a "fairy" (which I was called anyway for signing up for Cross Country instead of Soccer, in part because I was one of only two students who signed up for it, and the other one never showed up, so it was just me and the gym teacher running together). The craziest high-school rule I can think of was that you had to be in your homerooms by a certain time or you were suspended from school. (One student got suspended simply for going to his locker to get a book for his next class; today he's a chemistry teacher at that school.) But in retrospect I wish my high school and college had more rules of a certain kind: course distribution requirements. Without them I got a very erratic, thin education that didn't prepare me for much at all. I look forward to more of your Bite Size Japanese videos, Layla!

[@benjaminkane498]

Love this video. Thank you for sharing some of these school rules. I would be annoyed with the Chemistry Test too

[@thomasbarsegian3938]

Great video thank you very much

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Glad you enjoyed it☺️

[@YukihoDubs]

I'm doing my research so this helps alot. Thank you!

[@ginotsun]

There were also a lot of rules in my school since elementary [Indonesia]. The most common rules are you have to wear full black shoes, bring a lot of textbooks in your bag, the boys aren't allowed to have long hair (if your hair reach your shoulder and your bangs grow until pass your eyebrows, the teacher will cut your hair), dying hair is forbidden, etc. Overall regarding looks, we are told to be modest and proper. I remember back then in junior high school my teachers admonished me after they caught me wearing grey contact lenses (even tho I wear it as replacement of my thick glasses, not as accessory. It's my fault not wearing the clear or black colored contact lenses lol.), but after that I and my dad talk to one of those teachers and explain everything.. in the end I'm still allowed to wear that contact lenses until my graduation (ﾉ◕ᴗ◕)ﾉ

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Wow Indonesian school have very strict rules!! I didn’t know that!! Thank you for sharing your story with me!☺️

[@veganramen]

Thanks for the video!, we share many of this rules with my country (Chile), except for the clubs, that’s already a lot!

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Oh, I see! That’s very interesting!!😊

[@aritrasaha5718]

Loved this. Most of the rules are similar in India except the way of sitting in PE classes. We have to sit cross legged.

[@sanjeev7276]

Thts interesting 😂

[@Nidhogg258]

Went to private (Catholic) school in the USA. A lot of those rules you mentioned are very similar to ones I had growing up. Skirt length, no food/drinks in class, no makeup, mandatory sports, my high school had all of these.

[@kenselin]

As a university-trained teacher I believe everything should be done to make students happy + their life easier so that STUDENT LIFE IS NOT "OPPRESSIVE": for that reason, I'm totally against children have to do school work at home. It's TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA

こんばんはレイラ先生。🙌❤️🙌今日の授業素晴らしいありがとうございます。先生 I would change the school rules in Japan.

[@LeeDassin]

Its a curious thing where naturally different hair can sometimes be punished and you are forced to artificially change it to fit. I guess I find it very odd when I live somewhere where varying hair colours is commonplace

[@anordinaryyp]

In Thailand bangs are not allowed too😿

[@Femcel_Fujoshi]

Looking at these comments I realise more and more that, Americans are so lucky with their school rules.

[@soumm9572]

Lol it's so good 😂

[@hugoalvarado]

So many rules! Growing up in the USA the only rules I really remember were clothes couldn't have anything vulgar on them,no hats and of course no weapons or drugs lol 😆

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

haha I see!!🤣 I know a lot of young Japanese people are envious of Americans high school life because they watch many movies from your country!

[@wonderman7788]

There is good & bad(US/western countries) which shape your personality development during teenage years.good part is the students feel more relaxed &etc, while bad part is the raising of no self discipline/rude behaviour &etc

[@zeke3395]

Being Indian, I can relate to most of these things T_T

[@alexzeqa7220]

I have naturally blondish hair and blue eyes would that been a problem if I was to enroll in a Japanese school??

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Of course not! But if you're Japanese and dye your hair or use blue eye contacts, then it'll be a problem!

[@vivekchaurasiya4360]

But what I have seen in movies and animes, Girls always wear skirts above their knees...

[@Leale4Vita]

Wow, I must say that those rules look very strict but apart of the curly hair rule, I think that those rules are "fine", at the very end of the day, I would enjoy and have memories!

[@ultraxdzn]

Lmao people from my class would legit go and fight these teachers

[@ЯниЧанков]

Hello! Very nice video! Can you make a video about your boyfriend how did you met, ect? Of course if you're ok with that!

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

He’s coming to Japan in September! ( hopefully no more delays! ) so I want to make a video with him when I can see him in person!☺️ Thank you for asking!!✨

[@ynchoi7529]

大好き！！笑

[@ilishaperera1892]

Can I ask a question?

[@akhileshsonawane5006]

When the young generation will take over, will they change these rule? Also I saw a japanese news that states thar students have were only white underware, I mean what do they have to do with student's underwear and how are they going to check it XD

[@michaelnmedley5947]

I love you

[@KIRA-dc2ci]

They are too much

[@HelloItsMikkan]

Yeaaah the Kanji - Hiragana issue is annoying

[@MayandPoppy]

Are you kidding me?! The teacher counted your answer as incorrect just because it was hiragana rather than kanji?! 😡 That had to be so frustrating and annoying for you!

[@BitesizeJapanese1]

Yes, I think I am still angry for the teacher!haha

[@MayandPoppy]

@@BitesizeJapanese1 I don’t blame you! 😂

[@merabsturua7379]

In georgia Nobody gives a Sh.. about what you wear or what your hair looks like! Only Girls Do If You Are Beautiful Like Me 😂
