I'm of mixed heritage as well. I'm not particularly proficient in either Japanese or English. I spent half of my student life in Japan and the other half in America. One thing that struck me about schools in America is the prevalence of rough individuals, which posed a constant risk of danger. It felt like there was always a chance I could be harmed, and the teachers didn't seem particularly interested in the students. On a positive note, there is freedom; but on the downside, people are overly assertive and everyone does as they please. I witnessed numerous dangerous situations. As for the flaws of Japanese schools, they can be overly strict, with limited freedom; even going to the bathroom requires a teacher's permission. This was quite surprising to me. Bullying is a global issue, present in any country, but unlike in America, Japan doesn't have guns. Hence, you never hear about shooting incidents in schools in Japan. Many people misunderstand this, but the academic level in Japan is generally higher. American universities are praised because they attract outstanding individuals from around the world, not because the average American student is academically superior. The average academic level in Japan is quite high. Sometimes I wish I had studied a bit more in Japan.
面白く鋭い観察力と好み。何方にも住んでバイリンガルのお年頃のボーイズはどんな音楽🎵を聴いてるんですかね? 最近は日本の音楽がKZbinの映像と歌詞のsubtitleのお陰で世界で人気が出てきてるようで、ONE OK ROCK 、女性バンドなど人気の様ですが、日本の音楽とアメリカ( 英語圏) 何方を主に聞いたりしてるのか、やはり,英語の歌詞(lyric)の方が自然に聞こえるのでしょうか? 息子さん達の素直な反応と会話に癒されております。😌
