There is some truth in this as most schools out in the country don't have AC, so if you end up taking classes during the summer the window row is definitely the most desired.

The janitor thing is a misconception: a lot of Japanese schools do have janitors, usually for jobs deemed unsafe or unsuitable for children.

[@jacara1981]

Yup, Kids mostly clean their classroom (and the halls to some extent). Most schools that a groundskeeper, that tends the school grounds and parts of the buildings that Kids don't clean.

[@jacara1981]

Also grades are a very serious thing in Japan. The better your grades, the better highschool you can get into, and thus the better college you can get into. There are some jobs that won't even look at the rest of your application once they look where you went to school. Think of the difference between Stanford and a state college, and that starts in Highschool in Japan.

[@lloydmeadors]

As someone who worked at public schools in Japan, I can verify these, except teachers getting national holidays off, they really only get new years off in some schools

[@geoffk777]

This is all generally true, although school uniform rules vary a lot by school. Private schools tend to have stricter rules and uniforms and usually start in elementary school. Public schools often have no official uniform, although there are dress codes and rules.

[@AroundIndiana]

Japanese students probably don't have to worry about getting shot at school like US kids do. Less stress.

Well, they don't really have to worry about dying from a gun.....and more of the fact that they die from suicide. The latter part...kinda a big issue in Japan. Still is, btw.

[@jacara1981]

I think the social and performance pressure is really far above that worry. Kids snapping and committing suicide use to be a really large problem (though it has gotten better). Also kids breaking and then not leaving their room/home is another issue.

[@Photosnearby]

Personally speaking from experience, I can say it’s nothing like in anime. For example, the roof is locked at all times expect emergencies. We practice sports for 6 times a week. Entrance exam material is not taught in schools, rather most students go to a cram school otherwise known as a juku

[@atsukorichards1675]

There are at least one janitor per school. They fix the things and maintain the buildings, clean the rest of rooms that the students don't (teacher's and principals room, etc), and do the same works as the other countries' janitors do. And please don't call them the student janitors. They just clean where they use including the student bathrooms.

The best way to set standards is through free market competition. Each school selects text books from publishers that are in competition with each other. Parents vote with their feet if a schools standards are not up to scratch.

[@darqjade]

The uniform thing also happens here in Trinidad. Head to toe, there are rules about what you can wear and how. Uniforms are a plus though, as it takes the pressure off of kids, who can't afford the 'best' of everything. So they don't feel alienated (at least in that way).

Japanese teach that you are only a part of the whole, the whole can not survive without you being a part of it. You should not be different from others, instead work to bring everyone up to your level.

Wrong information. Not all schools have uniforms.

[@Ricky911_]

Honstly, I like wearing a uniform. When I moved from London to Rome 2 years ago, I had massive issues with choosing what to wear. Me and my mum often argue on what I should wear because I have a comepltely different taste to hers. Going out for shopping is literally a nightmare for me. I also just genuinely like the feeling of wearing a suit. I've gotta say that I enjoyed wearing a uniform way more than I enjoyed wearing my casual clothes ngl

[@chyteerg]

Notice me senpai

[@sakuraxox4839]

Here is a tip for those going to a Japanese school: If you just meet someone please use the suffix -san with their last name (EX: Tamahashi-san). You can call them with their first name if you’ve known them for a long time. Please use the suffix Sensei with a teacher. It is basically how foreigners say Mrs. (Last name). (EX: Tamahashi-sensei). If you are entering a Japanese elementary school, let your parents teach you how to cook due to the elementary not letting you bring lunchboxes (Only the high school brings them). You cannot bring your cellphone as it is considered as a distraction. You would also need to walk home, and try to memorize where you live. (Or, you can take a bus. Don’t worry, 6+ children can travel alone. You cannot slouch around in cleaning time.

[@migaish_]

Number 1 is very similar to Australia, but instead of homework we're busy with Christmas, New Years and family holiday before going back at the end of January (for NSW at least). We don't have very many holidays, two weeks off after each term and only a six week summer holiday

[@Clee-os6pv]

I went to a Japanese school for 3 years. They should have mentioned? Students have to wear slipper like sneakers shoes called Uwabaki. When? You are inside the school building at all times. Except for a few special occasions. You don't have to wear them on that day.

Haha, this is more similar to my school in New Zealand. We have a really strict dress code - on hairstyles, shoes, uniform and even on mufti days. The students must have their hair up, but if it's too short it can't. Your hair can't be in a bun, or messy. Only one type of earring is allowed. We have mufti days about 3 times a year, and we can only wear blue, pink, yellow or purple during those days. There's more, but that's the jist of it, lol.

American schools still have uniforms though. It just if the school itself has a uniform code or sometimes the students themselves refuse to wear it which the school then becomes laxs with dress code. By the time I was in middle school I switched school in 6th grade which later in the year even after I graduated in 8th grade dress code became almost whatever the student wanted to wear. Even in high school there was a dress code but around the time I was in 10th or 11th grade every student went from business casual to street clothes.

[@melodramatic7904]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't students required to join an afterschool activiy? And if they can't find one that they like, then they have to make one (minimum 3 members). Also, high school is not compulsory like in other countries. That's why high schools can be so selective. Despite not being compulsory nearly everyone goes. I think it's like 99% of people go on to high school or something like that.
