However, this thread is about japanese schools, so move onto the topic. As I know, from my research. "About what percent of schools require their students to wear uniforms?" All of them, except elementary schools. It looks like in elementary schools they don't wear uniforms. "Does every school have 7 mysteries?" Ummm... Maybe. My school actually has a secret laboratory where there is an android of the namer of the school. However, that is Hungary, and that is Japan. < /joke-mode off> "How rare is it to see a teacher throw chalk at a student?" Well, I think is pretty normal. Think: Would you do the same? |

Thanks Patrunjelu, Amray, -KarumA- and Solais. I've once heard about Lingua and related Action Plans, driven under the strong initiative of the Parliament, but I'm really pleased to hear the ongoing practices in each State.

Of course no . However, as time passes, some students try to forge ones until the number reaches seven. Very rare nowadays. Quote:

And also you mentioned being able to understand ancient chinese and not modern. Something similar happened to me, as I speak chinese and learnt japanese. I found that I begin to understand ancient chinese much more than before. I'm really interested in anything Japanese, so this thread was a nice read lol

From what I understand the Japanese education system and grading scale is much more harsh than it is in the United States. Students have to study harder and "just passing" isn't good enough. Grades seem to be taken very seriously in general.
I'm somewhat glad I live in the U.S. because I could have probably never made it through a Japanese school. |

As far as I know and hear, a whole bunch of countries educations are harsher than the US's. If you were born in Japan, though, I'm sure you would have gotten used to it. (Note: I have never lived in Japan)

I think it might be better to append the thread to Japanese Culture.

Fuji) The same method can be used to memorise historical events: にちろせんそう へいし たりない ひとくれよ (Japan-Russo War, we need more the soldiers, give us men / 1904) Besides, such technique is often applied to non-decimal data. For ionisation tendency, かそうかな まぁ あて に すんな ひどすぎる しゃっきん (Should I loan to him money?

In model cases elementary schools commence at 8:30 and end at 15:30, with lunch time break of 12:00-13:00 and cleaning time 13:00-13:20. The temporal unit of classes is 45 minutes with 5 minutes break. So, as you see, pupils have 6 classes a day. Jr.- and high schools offer 7 or 8 classes of 50 minutes a day, with shorter lunch-time break (30-40 minutes), and the ending time is around 17:00. |

Lets compare a bit. In Singapore, school work in 2 sessions, morning and afternoon. Classroom are shared between the 2. I do not remember exactly what time school starts for the morning session but i remember that i had to leave my house before the sun even came out. It ends at noon so no lunch break. There is a short recess at about half way point. Lessons are continuous with no breaks unless the teacher leave early or the next teacher is late. Afternoon session is pretty much the same except it starts after noon and end in the evening.

When I was younger I was a master of cheating, I would write answers on my palms, double up papers.
I also managed to shift my eyesballs on other papers without physically moving my head. Texting answers back and forth on cell phones also worked wonders... or sometimes taping a paper under the desk and retrieving it when the teacher wasn't looking. During lunch hours when the teachers were gone you could sneak inside and copy test answer keys as well. After class I would always find a nerd and ask if I could borrow his homework. teachers became suspicious sometimes so I would occasionally get a few wrong on purpose to make it look slightly different than the paper which I copied.
