KazuoTV ey I know you have some hate but you do not need to show it, it makes you look like a pathetic ass. Especially when Japan is one best countries to live in, yes it indeed is strict but that is why it is so good, you rather go to american schools? Schools other than private suck there, thank you very much. Sincerely
We had a Japanese exchange student in high school (I live in Belgium) at the end of the year she said "i don't want to go back" i always remeber that when a wild weeb appears
geen idee hoe het in belgie is maar nederland heeft echt een kut school systeem.. wtf wij hadden maar 6 weken zomervakantie q.q en stomme bullshit dat inderdaad op je 12e werd besloten of je vmbo, havo or vwo mocht doen... ik maakte mij alleen druk om buitenspelen toen... nu spijt van want nu moet ik heleboel jaar langer studeren. want op je 12e zit je gewoon aan die stempel vast. en heb je op vmbo T alleen maar 10en, nope je mag niet naar de universiteit of hbo, je zit vast aan mbo 4.. story of my life xc
Asian people learn about Western from Hollywood, and western people learn about Japan from animes. The biggest thing in common is they are not even close to the reality……
dude I even an american feel like I got screwed over by holly wood before i went to high school. I guess it doesn't matter what country you're from school is just over glorified bullsh!t most of the time. but I guess it's what you make of it so no point in complaining about it. moral of the story don't have high expectations because you will just be disappointed anyways
I only started going to japanese school a few weeks ago but yeah I think it's kinda sad that the teachers put everything out there as a fact and don't encourage students to express their own thoughts and opinions
Cherishing individuality is not high in their list of priorities there. Gets worst when you enter the workforce as just another member of the faceless mob trudging to work in packed trains every morning and working till they drop like flies everywhere. No wonder their suicide rates are through the roof, I feel depressed just talking about it.
Not like I've been to Japan or anything, but I've read some Japanese novels that's been translated (btw I read in general so the cover got my attention at Barnes n nobles ) and lots of them mention a problem with the Japanese school system and lack of individualism. Like some students want to do smth diff but can't because of all the home and school pressure which causes them to suicide. I believe there are a couple manga out there that mention it too. In the slice of life genre .
True, I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoy school over here. The teachers and students are very nice and interested in other countries and cultures. I just guess it's not part of japanese mentality to have an open discussion in class? Not sure..
Cartel yeah.my school would have been great if only holidays were real holidays without studies.as school finishes of their duties only taking exams rest is up to us.so practically no holidays
How long did it take you to come up with that concept?!very impressed.for you to know the difference between anime and real world you must be a genius.
I hypothesize that the reason there's so much nature, happiness and peace in anime, is that it's a direct form of escapism from IRL Japan, which is covered in concrete, misery and shoulder-to-shoulder chaos. There's lots of flying and jumping in anime to counter the reality that Japan is basically a prison island full of stupid expectations and judgements that weigh you down. The romance in it is also a direct opposite of IRL Japan, where loneliness reigns supreme and birth rates are at a record-breaking low. Anyway, if I'm right, then it makes it extra-ironic that weebs would use anime as a documentary for what Japan is like, since anime is intentionally designed to be the polar opposite.
I'm currently going to High School in Japan, and it's very different from what you described. No bullying, nice classmates, nice teachers that help if you need help and well, just a normal school. The classes are very passive though. No raising hands and answering questions, everyone just listens and the teacher explains. If you don't understand something, you have to ask the teacher after class, which means you don't slow down the learning of others, which is a problem in my school in Germany.
Yeah, I teach at a high school in Japan. A lot of what he said is just because he went to a shit school. Of course, there is some truth to what he said, but definitely don't generalize this to represent all Japanese high schools and middle schools.
Die Schueler helfen sich auch gegenseitig und erklaeren sich das, und nein, so lange bleibt der Lehrer dann nicht, aber nach jeder Stunde sind es 10 Minuten bis zur naechsten Klasse, da bleibt Zeit mal was zu erklaeren. Aber ja, jemand anderen aufzufordern es dem der es nicht verstanden hat zu erklaeren ist auf jeden Fall ein guter Weg, aber unterrichtszeit geht trotzdem verloren. Ich finde beide Systeme nicht schlecht, aber weil ich nur ein Jahr in Japan bin kann ich das auch nicht so weitreichend vergleichen und bewerten.
I'm Japanese and I'm soooooo fed up with this senpai and kohai hierarchy system. You have to comply what senpai says even if it sounds unreasonable simply because they are older than you.
Well Manga/Anime authors expressed their bad opinions about Japan SECRETLY. The reason why MCs in manga/anime was whining weakling wishful delusional characters, it's fucking cliche and unoriginal. Because their life was restricted to wasted too much.
Well, they never really show you how fuckin hard is to keep with the rythm in mangas and animes. All is club fun and interclass shit. A friend of mine told me that School in Japan seems to build up perfect corporate slaves.
@@davidgumazon Please don't draw examples from fucking manga and anime. The MCs are set like that so that even the most pathetic fucking person can self-insert and feel good about themselves from reading it, thus boosting popularity among Weebs. It doesn't mean shit about real life.
@@hoshii.8533 Disapproval is your opinion. But I can agree with it since there were more of examples like that in fanfiction or otherwise pretty much everywhere though. If you wan't realistic fictions you could find a small piece of gems on the ocean of sands. Goodluck with that. Realism is like this: 👉👌💦
Yo true, I had a japanese friend here in my home town and his ass was so complacent basically only knew how to follow rules and never think for himself. His parents had him on a damn leash and I did my best to teach him how to be an individual. He became more attuned to his own self which was good, but his parents though he was rebelling simply because he was being himself. I guess that is what happens when people come from a collective society and move to an individualistic one. Btw he was extremely shocked when his vacation was 3 months long and he had no homework. He moved away from my hometown a while later and last I heard he was in an ivy league school, but im sure he was being himself. His parents wanted him to be a Doctor, but he really lived physics. If im not mistaken that is what he is studying thats my boi
Holidays in Australian schools only go up to around 2 months for summer. That's for me at least because I go to a school that has longer holidays then most here.
MinecraftTransgenderyoutube feminist Idk. Most japaneses really like going to school. It probably wasn't a good experience for him because he studied in bad schools
Nah, it’s because after high school in Japan you become an overworked, underpaid, soulless salaryman with no chance at a future. Which is why only high school settings or Isekai escapism is relatable to the average Japanese audience.
damn you guys are deep, you are very right Hi There, in RELife this is what happens, a 27 year old underpaid worker becomes a high school student again with the help of a drug. but i think there are a lot of high school anime, also because the target audience are high schoolers
IKR? Especially those shuriken throwing ninjas fighting 100-eyes tentacle monster in the yard are always bothering the class with their shadow clones while shouting in anime language.
@@ElzekoGD You know, broken english, words made of multiple kanji that are never together anywhere else, bunch of grunts and gasps, general stuff like that.
Most manga are geared towards children and teens. Since a good chunk to their days revolve around school, it's easier to write a story where school is involved.
Despite the low standards of this school, everything else applies to every school: the respect, the mean people, the lack of ability to find and express yourself.
School sucks everywhere, I guess some schools suck more than others. Looking back at when I was like 8, I guess it kind of all made sense, but when I was 15 or 16? I am a person and I am not a child, I felt like I was in prison. I was one of the better students, I could even have done much better than that if the school system wasn't so retarded. I am 31 years old now and my view didn't change much, if anything when looking back I hate that time even more.
I'm turning 31 in less than a month, & looking back, i still think the whole school system in my place was fuckin' retarded. & from what i heard, i kinda pity the kids now, as the whole thing just gotten even more retarded.
Im really not sure why people have this whole fantasy like Japanese high school is godly its exactly the same as everyone else i actually think it would be harder..
Falcon Windblade Exactly. People get their interpretations of Japanese culture based off anime like it's some fantasy land. Honestly, people don't know how good they have it to live in America. America gives opportunity while Japan is another country that ultimately gives you the finger and throws you in the garbage if you don't conform to their expectations and rules.
henvdemon Obviously to westerners and really most non east asian country, thatd be horrible. So the otakus fetishizing the culture wont realise that they wont like it and if they acted out of the norm, theyd be outcasted
Hell if anything it's more of from the stress of always working or trying too hard to be something they're not, whether in school or other, and the social stigma of fighting back when bullied. Whether at home, school or work they'll get bullied or harassed and expected to deal with it or leave. That's the real problem, ontop of the crabmental mindset that seems fairly common in those environments. Lack of individualism in school however is the least of concerns and problems.
I think I am starting to understand why anime is so popular in Japan now. Anime showcases the japanese culture from a fantastical point of view, making it out to be this amazing experience and just downright unrealistic. The people who live in Japan use anime as a way to escape reality, as a way to convince themselves that japanese culture is the greatest thing ever. In such a homogeneous country, anime protagonists and worlds showcases the individuality the average japanese man feels like he lacks.
Twisted Films No it's just to fit the plot of the story. It's like watching Disney channel and thinking that the school on there is how it really is in America.
rysa lin That's the point. The plots are too nice and cute to happen in real schools, so they have to romanticise it, which attracts teens (especially girls) that would love to live or even just see something like that happen in their schools. This is normal in all countries but Japan's anime representations are astonishingly fantastic (as in fantasy)
Pau Naic I think you missed the point I was making, it's not some way to "escape reality" to make themselves believe they live in the best country. It's a story so of course it has unrealistic views (Which of course attract people and in this case, mostly girls). Just like every other childrens show. It's to make it more interesting. Not to bring people into their culture or to make people think Japanese school is so "fabulous". The kids in Japan work their asses off to get into a good ranked school. People already know this. Everyone can tell anime is unrealistic just like every other cartoon. The theme of anime is certainly different from other cartoons most of the time, you are right. But the point of anime is just like every other cartoon. If you read what the original commenter was saying, you would understand I was correcting his theory.
Just about the same in South Korea Freaking hell I go to this private school it's unnecessarily considered "prestigious" when our school facilities are shit It is in the red so they charge us like 10000$ a year I'd rather go to a college if I could I still got two years to graduate I wanna kill myself
I'v been living in japan for 9 years now and I can't agree more. I'm surprised you didn't mention the hair check thing. Edit: Hair check thing= hair can’t touch your ears & eyebrows.
Well, everything in anime and Japanese shows is hyper-idealized, including schools. I'm not surprised real life does not measure up to its fictional counterpart.
Endymion766 you mean just like any other form of entertainment? Have you seen any hollywood movies ever? Thats the point of movies and cartoons, and even games. They shift you from our reality.... like thats the point lol
Stardust Platinum welcome to the club buddy. Thats a problem with all school systems. I graduated from the IB with 42 points, went to St Andrews and did BSc in Biology AAAAAAND even took a photography course. I still have no clue wtf i wanna do.
@@pedroj3432 Is that really true? The best shows make commentary on real problems within the world, not to disconnect from it but directly connect the two so we can see the flaws within out, real, world.
There’s this half Japan kid in my school which is in Vietnam and she’s always complaining about schools here and she even said that she’ll be studying in Japan soon because that’s her dream *OH BOI OH BOI OH BOI* *she’s gonna have a good time*
HAHAHA! Kazuo left out the serious hazing issues in Japanese schools. Ijime culture. There is nothing honorable in Japanese culture. Everything is centered on "upholding farcical honor" by labeling everything that isn't normal as shameful and dishonorable. It's really a culture of dishonor. *That's why Kazuo was talking about way too many rules and policing students by preventing them from sticking together and making them fight each other by stratifying the student body in a way that upperclassmen rule and command the underclassmen instead of being equals.* This culture of conformity and fear of standing out is a serious thing prevalent throughout Japan. Anyone who suffers or lags behind is seen as a detriment to the harmony of the community, and is shunned.
Đặng Nghĩa our generation is so fucked up and I'm blaming the education system, where I'm from the teachers here are a bunch of lazy ass people. why be a teacher if u don't even teach. I honestly like substitute teachers more cuz they give me more attention and actually TRIES to help students but sadly they get treated like trash.
God i can relate to that video so much. Right now im attending a private all girls high school in japan and they are so strict. We have the same rules as your school but also school on saturday. We have 6 weeks of summer vacation and so much damn homework. I sat in the library for the majority of my holidays. Exept for the days i had to attend my club activities at school. Its shit like school is already hard enough and even if they give you a 'break' you will still spend your whole damn time at school. For the preparation of the culture festival i have now a 12h day bc we have to do so much and still have our regular school day. Im dying here and just sleeping whenever i can.
I was new to a school in my home town and when the japanese topic came up, I explained things that I know and a girl and I kind of argued of what japan was like. afterwards, “OMG she’s such a weaboo, I study japanese culture and she thinks she knows SOOOO much about japan just because she read stuff on some article” she told her friend unaware that I was behind them. I was like “BIIISHHHHHHHH, I FREAKIN studied and LIVED in japan for TWO FREAKIN YEARS!!! YOU’RE calling ME a weaboo?!?!?!? EXCUSE ME, I CAN SPEAK JAPANESE, WRITE AND READ HIRAGANA KATAKANA AND KANJI, MY DAD IS JAPANESE, I HAVE JAPANESE FRIENDS!!!!!!!! YOU are the weaboo NOT ME!!!” Yaaaaaaaaaaa, I didn’t like that girl
Nerd Gamer if you watch documentaries on it. It's bigger there than you think. I looked into, and maybe I just have a good job. But we don't get treated poorly by any means. Or bullied.
Public schools are generally bad everywhere. The real fun happens at private institutions, especially the ones meant for the upper class of society. Anime tends to focus on this exclusive group and not the generic schools that most people go to.
I expected so much from Japan when I went there on a study abroad given how many people were excited by the place and got disappointed in the end. Glad to see someone else is willing to post the good and the bad about Japan instead of loving just everything about it
Raikzel Bondesto If you don't mind with the rules & are a tidy & discipline person then you should have no problem blending in there. My country is definitely hell for wildlings, slackers & crybabies with no manner / discipline. Which will make them whining & be extremely bitter about it in the internet like the guy who posted this vid.
Nice to get the opinion of a person who knows first hand. I think people who live the life with the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side have a rude awakening in store from life. Cheers 👊
True, so few anime are set outside of school. Ik they're trying to appeal to a demographic/nostalgia, but they act like everyone past high school age is redundant lol. That's why anime like erased was so refreshing since it mixes adult life with elementary age life too (rare to see 8yo school life in anime).
I’m a military kid and everything you said was correct. During 2nd and 3rd grade I went to Japanese school for summer and nearly everything you said was perfectly on point. My American School Was LIT AF
The Life Theorist -Ken Unless you were the only awkward asian kid in ur entire american school xD. But for the most part after 6th grade.. its been good life.
@@battub7384 thats so sheep-like mindset, education system is just way to broken, u can self-taught everything, you just need that paper, diploma, deegre or whatever
Japanese society values conformity, harmony, and honor. Individuality and dissent are discouraged. Of course they don't want anyone to stand out! Even the crazy fashion trends of Harajuku aren't real expressions of individuality. It more like, "Everyone else is wearing a fishbowl on their head, so I will too!" I do enjoy the romantic idea of a perfect Japanese school. We all wish we had the courage to confess our feelings to the cute girl under the sakura.
Yo, dude this is prevalent not only in Japan, but across multiple Asian countries (if not all of them). You study in order to get reasonable grades, not to gain actual knowledge and construct your own personal identity, and have the ability to express your own opinions, thoughts, as well as notions. What the hell does this type of education even achieve? In the end, when you're out and about in society, nothing, absolutely NOTHING you learned would actually assist you!
I've used to teach foreign students from Asia at Uni (courses like mathematical analysis or linear algebra), it's absolute horror because they tend to have zero understanding of the material covered in high school and they expect I'll give a big list of problems and solutions that they memorize and pass the test. After "education" in Asia they're basically in Piaget pre-abstract thinking phase. From what I understand after talking with some people that did college in Korea and Japan their higher education is taught in the same style where rote memorization of textbook is the king. It puzzles me how with this kind of environment some people actually manage to become creative scientists and engineers.
I remember when I'm in a Photo J competition and we're doing a roll call, the guy didn't said my name and I said "Uhmm, How about me?" and he replied "Don't worry and OPPA" the contestants laugh at me and I'm I did a fake smile but inside of me I'm ANNOYED
Finally! Japanese schools are not that fun. I’m a 2nd year student in Middle School here in japan. And I really don’t get it why they give us Homeworks at Summer Vacation. I mean it’s VACATION! My teachers are very nice to me. My classmates have their own groups. And I’m a loner😪😂 but that’s fine. (I’m sorry if my grammar is wrong. I’m not very good at English)
Anime Knight SAME!!!!!!! I mean, there are some girls in the class who always invite me to join them but I was too shy, awkward and scared that I might make a mistake on the language so I preferred to stay alone instead of making a fool of myself. students there called me “tensai” and I asked my japanese friend what it meant and she said it meant genius. She said that they called me that cuz I can speak Japanese, English and Tagalog and I was one of the best students in math in our batch. One guy made fun of me cuz my japanese name is 改善(kaizen) which means ‘improvement’ in japanese but he thinks I’m not improving at 日本語 at all I actually had depression when I was living in Japan cuz let me tell you, japanese high school is BRUTAL!!!
So that idiots actually open their books and try to remember what was taught in the classroom. Its just homework, in India you get 2 extra things in highschool, i.e, assignments and practicals, but not much homework though. And we get only 6 weeks of summer vac. We also have to give school entrance tests for top Highschools. So u have a better system than what others have. Btw by homework do u also mean assignments and stuff. Cuz homework here is just pure academics related, like solving questions.
I remember asking my teacher why we had to wear school uniform and she was like. ''Well, it's japanese history and you don't understand that.'' ''Oh, thank you miss. You help me so much all the time!'' I was like the only one questioning anything in that school and was always told the same thing. School in japan only teaches you how to remember words for a day with no context whatsoever just to forget all of it the next day.
I'm Jamaican, this sounds like a lot like our school system. Well the Caribbean as a whole really. We weren't allowed to go places in our uniform after school unless we were with an adult. Idk about Japan but here it's usually for your protection especially if you walked home or took public transport. If people had beef with a student from your school, you could be targeted just because you were wearing the uniform. We don't have middle school tho. It's prep/primary school then high school. You have to do a big test ( GSAT ) to determine where you go to high school. When you get into high school, it's kinda all about tests and getting into college but top kids still had personally. Sometimes the smartest kids were the 'cool kids'. Edit: I am simply going off of what was described in the video. I don't pretend to know what it is like to go to school in Japan.
D Mcken Except, you are wrong. Your school system isn't like Japan's at all. It's way more chill. One screw up in Japan and you're toast. Quit lying, you probably just went to a poor school.
Yeah i'm also from the caribbean (Dominican Republic) and the smart kids are ussually the cool kids here, or at least no one bully the smarts kids for being smart lol
well here (barbados), people who don’t get grades “up to standard” are often times ostracized and neglected by the teachers which in turn pushes them to put even less effort into work which only makes their grades get worse.
D Mcken bruh that sounds like latin america. My dad use to tell me how if a rival school caught you in uniform walking home theyd most likely mug your ass.
Oh boy, what you said was completely different from Japan. Students are allowed to wander around after school in their uniform. Not quite sure about the beef part. Their middle school is actually called junior-high. School rules are exceptionally bad especially for girls, if you're trying to be sexy and cute with all the nail polish and dress above the knees, you'll pretty much get a detention straight off. And students bring obento which is like packed lunch. I'm pretty sure lunch time is about the length of 10-15 minutes?? If you're any European/American/ African, 100% guarantee that you won't survive there for a day because the amount of homework you have. If you don't get your work done (even little ones), parents will be contacted immediately.
Each school is different. There are good and bad schools both in Us and Japan. I guess the whole point is, that people he was talking about praise japanese school not knowing anything about their system. It fucks me up every time someone tells me, that they want to move to japan so badly, but in reality they are so used to our (Polish) school system, that they would be dead after a month there.
people will adapt no doubt but many people underestimate how nations other than their own actually functions. Like the cultural differences and such. I went to school both in Asia and USA and saw massive changes to my learning. For once, Western nations are very lenient on students and educations that's for sure, of all the stereotypes, I think it is not arguable that asian schools do take things really intently. but one thing we must realize is that taking things seriously≠better. Like I've seen many people say they want to go to china because they have consistently gotten the best scores in most subjects in class so it must be very good education system, they also have the highest IQ of anyone. Obviously. doing 2 minute research will tell you that is all fake as shit. Chinese Communist Party only reports results from its top-scoring schools in Beijing and Shangai only meaning the Chinese results of which country's students get the best scores is same as if the USA took Harvard, MIT and Ivy league and call it "national average". obviously, even as common sense, do people actually believed 1.4 billion people in china were the smartest out of any one? the same goes with japan and many asian countries, obviously their results are not biased like China but they do things differently that I really love and hate at the same time. They teach you things they know will be on the test and nothing else so they are very strict with scores. This make the students very depressed and tense but also more hard working. While most western education is built on "well d is passing" while teaching more out of line ways. This makes the students lazy but it also brings uniqueness to them. Its hard to say which is better but the middle path of that is probably the best way to go.
I agree about the breath of some of those guys. It's just horrendous!!!! It sounds like you went to a crap middle school. I never heard of the "don't go to a convenience store" rule, but I can understand it. They want you to get home as soon as possible because that trip to and from school is part of the whole experience, thus the school's responsibility.
Not really. The school isnt responsible for anything that happens out of school. The main reason is to keep the school's reputation. They dont want the public to see their students loitering around the neighbourhood, shouting and screaming in groups while in their uniform.
they actually are, when i was in primary school (Argentina) they told us to go home immediately ( we of course didnt and stayed there talking for abt 20 minutes) but the thing is that you have an insurance, if something happens to you in school or fifteen minutes after clases finished the shcool covers it or is responsible for it idk. Its what our teacher told us , it may or may not be true tho :v
I've done research about Japan and I'm aware of how bad it is there. I've always wondered how Japan can such a creative and flourishing Anime/Manga culture when the country itself is very conformist, but my guess is that the people dislike that conformity go to that sort of field, as a way of escaping it. I know that the Otaku community is looked down upon in Japan, despite it being so popular in the west.
I'm sorry you had such awful experiences with their education system. Teachers really can make or break a school. Hearing your story really helped me to appreciate my experiences going to school where I did.
Joanna B East Asian education are extremely competitive, even the workplace. If you don't past a certain test then basically your life is over, that's the reality of it. Lived in South Korea 3-4 years, lived in japan 2 years in my childhood
I've only done one year in Japanese middle school (6th Grade). And despite how much I did do a lot better there, I still hated the rules. That rule you mentioned about going home first before going to a convenience store, that was in my school, as well. That pissed me off so much, I just went straight to it and got my usual shit every day before going home.
Ever wonder why vocaloid is so fucking dark? This is why. This. Is. Why. NOW EVER WONDER WHY EVERY ASIAN STUDENT RELATES TO VOCALOID WHILE WE TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO MUCH. I HATE school. Luckily I graduated. I don't care though. Kill me, humiliate me, I don't care. Dosent even matter anymore after that kind of school. Summer break is the same everywhere. Welcome to Asia. I ain't even from Japan, I'm chinese, but hey, its the whole continent suffering this
Well you need inspiration in life, play Minecraft to cure your humane or improve critical thinking because you need to adapt solitary life before entering community. Knowledge is survival, you need to be self aware and observed surroundings, I suggested you practice to accept any fitting idealistic view for realistic social communication because sometimes ideal predicts reality and ideal was right cause you act what you think is right. Take advantage what you possess or what others think what if you do this or that unless you're lazy or you don't do because you really don't want to. Here's options for you to do in life: (aka ACT from undertale but in real life) >Accept >Persist >Work >Obey >Patience >Sympathy >Persuade >Ask for informations
But the bad thing is your home is bad at befriend any possible neighbor nearby. But don't worry if you have a job you could make friends about job related otherwise your/him/her hobbies.
literally he word for word explained my american education while talking about japanese school systems guess my school was backwards from the 'american' system
To be honest, I think we aussies have a better system. Short breaks between each term (10 weeks) is much more refreshing and we don't have to constantly look forward to that one big break 5 months away.
"They borderline fetishize Japan" Ain't no "borderline" about it. I'm a cosplayer, so I've known some seriously awful people who always talked about how it's their dream to go to Japan, and they say they're part Japanese when they're clearly not. People like this make me scared to ever mention that I'm half Russian and half Japanese-- because people like that only focus on the "half Japanese" part and say things like "Ohhh! That's why you're so kawaii!! > w
Ahiruko Noumi I used to not mind kawaii and often used it when I flirted during study sessions with my girlfriend (I took a Japanese class) but now I fucking hate it Also Russians are hot Asians are cute So I'm sure they meant the best But the next time someone calls you kawaii do some random dude on the internet a favor and bitch slap them
Based on this video, I see a lot of similarities between schools in Poland and Japan. Learning patterns and books instead of critical thinking and stating opinions. You have to respect the teachers here too and most of the students have a fear of them and have to think of them as someone better. Bullies, check, classic slav bullies, drinking and smoking in in the school bathrooms. Making your days at school harder every day since the 90s. Sometimes ganging up on others after school. We also had a lot of homework during summer vacation except it was 9-10 weeks instead of 8. Besides, things like, not being able to leave the building while being at school. PE lessons in the beginning or the middle of the day + no showers, so you had to bear the next 7 hours smelling everyone and yourself, feeling like you're in a pigsty. PE lessons were more of a competition, the teachers never looked at individual's skills and abilities, so it didn't matter that you were good at something that's not at school, you had to be good at all sports that are at school. Not to mention that you could be a genious and have good grades, but miss a class 2 times, be late often or forget your uniform, oh boi, your grades were suddenly lowered because of shit like that. Stupid shit.
Some people have this weird misconception Japan is the greatest country on Earth and every Japanese person is God’s gift to the world. Every single country has multiple and usually very very dark flaws and every person also has multiple flaws. Japan and her people are no exception.
A lot of these problems I've also experienced within school systems (especially now that I'm in high school) and I'm American. There are flaws in every system. But I understand how people can glorify this system when they have not experienced it.
Senmongakkou was the same with test. They defined the student with tests. Even though i did good and passed all of my classes it didn't mean S&@T when i failed the certificate exams. Japanese is my third language after my native pacific island language and english. Yet they required me to pass every single test. One of the teachers just reads out of the book and tells us to memorize practically the whole text book for the exam. And then another just sits and reads the book and randomly gets up and writes on the board and sits back down during the whole semester and never even gave us homework or classwork until the end of the semester where he gives us an answer sheet and tells us to read and understand cuz i will rearrange and make changes on the wordings of that answer sheet. That class was business theory!!! Imagine learning business theory in japanese never understanding the entire subject and being forced to take the final exam!!!! I mean come on!!!!
And it’s just not Japanese school. Other countries such as China and Korea have similar education systems too, especially having homework in summer break 😭😭. Not say I’ve been there before, but I heard it from my mom who took middle school back in her day, and my Japanese teacher. Japan seems fun but the education system stresses me out 😂.
Been living in Japan since 2013 Japan gave me depression :) thank you japan (bullied for 6 years in Jr & Sr high. Also sexually harassed in senior days)
I live and get educated in Israel: Most of schools teaches 6 days a week.(Saturday is off). At high school we learn from 7:45 to 5. We get summer vacation of 2 month and get a lot of homework. We don't have winter vacation. And every student from the age of 16.5 is part of the army and have to be ready for losing days at school for it.
I'm a Malaysian high schooler and we don't just get homework on vacations, we also need to to go back to school for club practice (almost compulsory). like if we get a week off, we have around 3 days of club practice to attend to, leaving us with 4 days left and homework to do, not to mention there is a lot of homework. we have class on saturday and no vacation the following monday which gives us 6 days of school per week. school hours start at 7:20 and end at 3:00 but if you have club you have to stay until 5:15. there are usually two club days per week. being a club member is fine but if you have a job in your club(president,treasurer, etc.), you'll find yourself doing endless filing and typing lots of documents and failing to meet deadlines only to be scolded by the higher ups. ( i'm a section chief in prefects and i'm constantly sleep-deprived trying to cope up with my academics and inhumane amount of club work.) Usually, I only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day. Fun fact, for prefects, five recesses are used for duty (class-patrol) or marching ( we have two recesses per day).not to mention there is morning duty as well which starts at 6:45 and ends at 7:30. Oh and you cannot bring junk foods, cosmetics, sweets,tic tacs to school. If you do they will be confiscated and will not be returned. Handphones are not allowed as well but the school will return your handphone 3 months after confisticating it.
Japan also has summer Club activities whether youre in Art, Sports club or whatever. Especially after classes. They also have that duty stuff in the morning and school councils, its basically every country.
Lack of teacher authority and therefore lack of discipline in class, especially the big classes in crowded city middle schools (7-9 grades) are a nonstop circus. You can't learn shit in that environment. The amount of homework is decent, the myth about "no homework" is bull, but when you try to learn in an environment such as I mentioned with teachers not necessarily having time to tend to every student since they spend the whole time in the class to maintaining peace and order all the while trying to teach, you have to educate yourself after school, and go through the same subjects you went through during that day all over again in order to finish your homework. Standardized tests are in fact frequent too and there's a series of them at the end of 9th grade, one test for every subject so especially then the studying is nonstop. Then there's completely useless yet compulsory subjects like Swedish language. Vocational schools last for 3 years out of which almost half is completely useless because in stead of teaching students for jobs they want to apply to like they should, there are compulsory classes that have nothing to do with it. For example I got a degree on information and communication technologies and what do I get to study? economics and trade law, native language (like I didn't study 9 years of that subject by far already), gymnastics(?!) more maths, et cetera et cetera.. While I'm not particularily against those classes, they should at least be optional because none of that has anything to do with specific profession studies. And to be fair there was some very useful classes too such as entrepreneurship.
I dont know how Finnish schools are currently (im 36). But when i attended school, it was a complete shit show (sometimes literally. I remember one time some boys from my class painted the walls and ceiling with shit). Bullying was rampant (it didnt help that the bullied kids got more detention than the bullies). Every day at lunch break students would have food fights (it was because all the teachers would eat in their own room while the students were left unsupervised). There were around 5 refugees in my class of 29 to 33 students. They were pissed at having to repeat the grades they had already finished (in their own country) so they mostly ignored the teachers. Still, when they got bored, they would randomly start screaming animal noises in the middle of class. As for teachers. Most of them were apathetic, but there was the Finnish language teacher that loved to single out a student and mock him in front of the class (that would usually take 20-30% of the class time). We also had a young woman be our Swedish language teacher that we drove to a mental breakdown and quit being a teacher (i think we were her first and last class of students). Some of it was because we were resentful about having to learn Swedish.
people who obsess and as you said, "fetishsize" everything about japan are the absolute worstt. sure, anime and manga is my drug of choice for entertainment, but I would never want to move there, i appreciate my culture and home way too much.
Also american who lived through a Japanese school system. I had similar experiences and it was quite tough. The 6 day a week school days were manditory but in the late 90's the law changed and it became 5 days a week. Also, most education there was just rote memorization, they had hollow content and I like to call it 'education theater'. My experience in public school was, teachers and Senpais often harass you to feel good about them selves, and they justify it by 'teaching discipline'. They really need to change thier school system to keep up with the rest of the world.

I only started going to japanese school a few weeks ago but yeah I think it's kinda sad that the teachers put everything out there as a fact and don't encourage students to express their own thoughts and opinions
Cherishing individuality is not high in their list of priorities there. Gets worst when you enter the workforce as just another member of the faceless mob trudging to work in packed trains every morning and working till they drop like flies everywhere. No wonder their suicide rates are through the roof, I feel depressed just talking about it.
Welcome to Asia man.
Not like I've been to Japan or anything, but I've read some Japanese novels that's been translated (btw I read in general so the cover got my attention at Barnes n nobles ) and lots of them mention a problem with the Japanese school system and lack of individualism. Like some students want to do smth diff but can't because of all the home and school pressure which causes them to suicide.
I believe there are a couple manga out there that mention it too. In the slice of life genre .
Good luck. I believe in you! You can get make it out alive!
True, I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoy school over here. The teachers and students are very nice and interested in other countries and cultures. I just guess it's not part of japanese mentality to have an open discussion in class? Not sure..

tbh i hate when people watch anime and think they know japan. I watch anime but i know its fantasy mostly so it doesnt resemble what japan really is.
You're really surprising us with that opinion
How long did it take you to come up with that concept?!very impressed.for you to know the difference between anime and real world you must be a genius.
yeah, because separating fiction from reality is difficult /s
It does give a good insight into certain Japanese quirks, like their bizarre obsession with food.
I hypothesize that the reason there's so much nature, happiness and peace in anime, is that it's a direct form of escapism from IRL Japan, which is covered in concrete, misery and shoulder-to-shoulder chaos.
There's lots of flying and jumping in anime to counter the reality that Japan is basically a prison island full of stupid expectations and judgements that weigh you down.
The romance in it is also a direct opposite of IRL Japan, where loneliness reigns supreme and birth rates are at a record-breaking low.
Anyway, if I'm right, then it makes it extra-ironic that weebs would use anime as a documentary for what Japan is like, since anime is intentionally designed to be the polar opposite.

I'm currently going to High School in Japan, and it's very different from what you described. No bullying, nice classmates, nice teachers that help if you need help and well, just a normal school. The classes are very passive though. No raising hands and answering questions, everyone just listens and the teacher explains. If you don't understand something, you have to ask the teacher after class, which means you don't slow down the learning of others, which is a problem in my school in Germany.
I have the same experience, especially with the last part, but I live in the US.
Yeah, I teach at a high school in Japan. A lot of what he said is just because he went to a shit school. Of course, there is some truth to what he said, but definitely don't generalize this to represent all Japanese high schools and middle schools.
Die Schueler helfen sich auch gegenseitig und erklaeren sich das, und nein, so lange bleibt der Lehrer dann nicht, aber nach jeder Stunde sind es 10 Minuten bis zur naechsten Klasse, da bleibt Zeit mal was zu erklaeren.
Aber ja, jemand anderen aufzufordern es dem der es nicht verstanden hat zu erklaeren ist auf jeden Fall ein guter Weg, aber unterrichtszeit geht trotzdem verloren. Ich finde beide Systeme nicht schlecht, aber weil ich nur ein Jahr in Japan bin kann ich das auch nicht so weitreichend vergleichen und bewerten.
That's probably because your not black or dark skin that alone changes everything
Good answer, thanks for sharing it.

Yo true, I had a japanese friend here in my home town and his ass was so complacent basically only knew how to follow rules and never think for himself. His parents had him on a damn leash and I did my best to teach him how to be an individual. He became more attuned to his own self which was good, but his parents though he was rebelling simply because he was being himself. I guess that is what happens when people come from a collective society and move to an individualistic one. Btw he was extremely shocked when his vacation was 3 months long and he had no homework. He moved away from my hometown a while later and last I heard he was in an ivy league school, but im sure he was being himself. His parents wanted him to be a Doctor, but he really lived physics. If im not mistaken that is what he is studying thats my boi

Maybe thats why every anime ever is about school. Because its traumatizing and watching something fun about it takes the pain away
MinecraftTransgenderyoutube feminist Idk. Most japaneses really like going to school. It probably wasn't a good experience for him because he studied in bad schools
That's exactly what I was thinking while watching this!
Detective X???
Nah, it’s because after high school in Japan you become an overworked, underpaid, soulless salaryman with no chance at a future. Which is why only high school settings or Isekai escapism is relatable to the average Japanese audience.
damn you guys are deep, you are very right Hi There, in RELife this is what happens, a 27 year old underpaid worker becomes a high school student again with the help of a drug. but i think there are a lot of high school anime, also because the target audience are high schoolers

Falcon Windblade Exactly. People get their interpretations of Japanese culture based off anime like it's some fantasy land. Honestly, people don't know how good they have it to live in America.

I APPRECIATE YOUR VIEWS ON INDIVIDUALITY.
SO DO I
Individualism is emphasized heavily in the us unlike Japan. Doesn't make it shit when that's how their culture is.
henvdemon Obviously to westerners and really most non east asian country, thatd be horrible. So the otakus fetishizing the culture wont realise that they wont like it and if they acted out of the norm, theyd be outcasted
Xeph Xen that's on their healthcare system more than anything else.
Hell if anything it's more of from the stress of always working or trying too hard to be something they're not, whether in school or other, and the social stigma of fighting back when bullied. Whether at home, school or work they'll get bullied or harassed and expected to deal with it or leave. That's the real problem, ontop of the crabmental mindset that seems fairly common in those environments. Lack of individualism in school however is the least of concerns and problems.
I think I am starting to understand why anime is so popular in Japan now. Anime showcases the japanese culture from a fantastical point of view, making it out to be this amazing experience and just downright unrealistic. The people who live in Japan use anime as a way to escape reality, as a way to convince themselves that japanese culture is the greatest thing ever. In such a homogeneous country, anime protagonists and worlds showcases the individuality the average japanese man feels like he lacks.
Twisted Films No it's just to fit the plot of the story. It's like watching Disney channel and thinking that the school on there is how it really is in America.
rysa lin That's the point. The plots are too nice and cute to happen in real schools, so they have to romanticise it, which attracts teens (especially girls) that would love to live or even just see something like that happen in their schools. This is normal in all countries but Japan's anime representations are astonishingly fantastic (as in fantasy)
just look at the character designs in anime and that tells you all you need to know lol
Pau Naic I think you missed the point I was making, it's not some way to "escape reality" to make themselves believe they live in the best country. It's a story so of course it has unrealistic views (Which of course attract people and in this case, mostly girls). Just like every other childrens show. It's to make it more interesting. Not to bring people into their culture or to make people think Japanese school is so "fabulous". The kids in Japan work their asses off to get into a good ranked school. People already know this. Everyone can tell anime is unrealistic just like every other cartoon. The theme of anime is certainly different from other cartoons most of the time, you are right. But the point of anime is just like every other cartoon.
If you read what the original commenter was saying, you would understand I was correcting his theory.

HAHAHA! Kazuo left out the serious hazing issues in Japanese schools. Ijime culture. There is nothing honorable in Japanese culture. Everything is centered on "upholding farcical honor" by labeling everything that isn't normal as shameful and dishonorable. It's really a culture of dishonor. *That's why Kazuo was talking about way too many rules and policing students by preventing them from sticking together and making them fight each other by stratifying the student body in a way that upperclassmen rule and command the underclassmen instead of being equals.* This culture of conformity and fear of standing out is a serious thing prevalent throughout Japan. Anyone who suffers or lags behind is seen as a detriment to the harmony of the community, and is shunned.

Apparently road is also in Japan. Of course jesus fucking Christ bullying is everywhere
Nerd Gamer if you watch documentaries on it. It's bigger there than you think. I looked into, and maybe I just have a good job. But we don't get treated poorly by any means. Or bullied.
Bullying is Big Everywhere
ですねかわいい he meant that its more common in japan
Public schools are generally bad everywhere. The real fun happens at private institutions, especially the ones meant for the upper class of society. Anime tends to focus on this exclusive group and not the generic schools that most people go to.
Kwok Wing-hung ikr
@@shadow392 nah if you got good friend then school becomes fun
Nah he just went to a bad school, public and private schools aren't similar to the west.
Didn’t even realize anime protags went to private schools
@@sakeriyasaleh4820Yeah.
I expected so much from Japan when I went there on a study abroad given how many people were excited by the place and got disappointed in the end. Glad to see someone else is willing to post the good and the bad about Japan instead of loving just everything about it
Can you explain good sir? I'm planning for a scholarship there... Just want to know what it feels like 😅😅
Raikzel Bondesto If you don't mind with the rules & are a tidy & discipline person then you should have no problem blending in there. My country is definitely hell for wildlings, slackers & crybabies with no manner / discipline. Which will make them whining & be extremely bitter about it in the internet like the guy who posted this vid.
Shane Wakagashira thank you good sir! Well I don't have a problem with discipline because it is essential for every person to have it. 😊
Raikzel Bondesto Then you'll do fine, my friend 👍👍👍👍
Shane Wakagashira Arigato! 😁
Oh boy you would love a Chinese public school
Same for most asian public school
I'm interested, please elaborate on that.
Hi, Just a guy who likes anime, what would you like to know more about?
Nah fam, Indian public schools are the shit. Literally.
Malaysian schools doe. I got that Rattan cane every day cause I was a real shithead
Nice to get the opinion of a person who knows first hand. I think people who live the life with the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side have a rude awakening in store from life. Cheers 👊

JohnnyRain because the guy is black hehe
Sir Pachelbel he is?
Sir Pachelbel
Isn’t he half black, half japanese?
Because it’s dubbed, not subbed.
Thats what I thought.
Anime Japan school and Japan school is totally different
flash king yeah, Anime's japanese schools are more retarded.
flash king yes, for some reason in anime japanese high school, it’s okay if you don’t enter a club. In my high school, you HAVE to enter one😒
I don't think so but there are no cute anime girl in Japanese school
um why is tiger woods in a Spider-Man suit
a spider bit him
wookyz1 He likes the character.
I dislike Japanese School. There is to many shit anime made in it.
Bullminator lmao
True, so few anime are set outside of school. Ik they're trying to appeal to a demographic/nostalgia, but they act like everyone past high school age is redundant lol. That's why anime like erased was so refreshing since it mixes adult life with elementary age life too (rare to see 8yo school life in anime).
japanese school in anime > japanese school in real
I’m a military kid and everything you said was correct. During 2nd and 3rd grade I went to Japanese school for summer and nearly everything you said was perfectly on point. My American School Was LIT AF
The Life Theorist -Ken Unless you were the only awkward asian kid in ur entire american school xD. But for the most part after 6th grade.. its been good life.
well... i hate school generally
Reza Art Well, your life won't achieve your dreams & success...
Princexedrhic Maano i said i hate them, that doesnt mean i dont need them
yeah i hate it
true
@@battub7384 thats so sheep-like mindset, education system is just way to broken, u can self-taught everything, you just need that paper, diploma, deegre or whatever
Japanese society values conformity, harmony, and honor. Individuality and dissent are discouraged. Of course they don't want anyone to stand out! Even the crazy fashion trends of Harajuku aren't real expressions of individuality. It more like, "Everyone else is wearing a fishbowl on their head, so I will too!"
I do enjoy the romantic idea of a perfect Japanese school. We all wish we had the courage to confess our feelings to the cute girl under the sakura.
Nerv ClaX West isn't better at all. The shit just has a different form but that's all.
Get in the fucking robot Shinji!!!
I don't know who you are or why youtube recommended you, but you are literally my personality.
Same
Yes
Yo, dude this is prevalent not only in Japan, but across multiple Asian countries (if not all of them). You study in order to get reasonable grades, not to gain actual knowledge and construct your own personal identity, and have the ability to express your own opinions, thoughts, as well as notions. What the hell does this type of education even achieve? In the end, when you're out and about in society, nothing, absolutely NOTHING you learned would actually assist you!
I've used to teach foreign students from Asia at Uni (courses like mathematical analysis or linear algebra), it's absolute horror because they tend to have zero understanding of the material covered in high school and they expect I'll give a big list of problems and solutions that they memorize and pass the test. After "education" in Asia they're basically in Piaget pre-abstract thinking phase. From what I understand after talking with some people that did college in Korea and Japan their higher education is taught in the same style where rote memorization of textbook is the king. It puzzles me how with this kind of environment some people actually manage to become creative scientists and engineers.
Also let me delete this comment since I made a huge mistake
hope this serves as a reality check to w e a b o o s

sorry, I started rambling. I was letting it out lol
I remember when I'm in a Photo J competition and we're doing a roll call, the guy didn't said my name and I said "Uhmm, How about me?" and he replied "Don't worry and OPPA" the contestants laugh at me and I'm I did a fake smile but inside of me I'm ANNOYED
Finally! Japanese schools are not that fun.
I’m a 2nd year student in Middle School here in japan.
And I really don’t get it why they give us Homeworks at Summer Vacation.
I mean it’s VACATION!
My teachers are very nice to me.
My classmates have their own groups.
And I’m a loner😪😂 but that’s fine.
(I’m sorry if my grammar is wrong. I’m not very good at English)
I am Japanese and loner too.
and fuck homeworkvacation. yeah you are right.
Anime Knight SAME!!!!!!! I mean, there are some girls in the class who always invite me to join them but I was too shy, awkward and scared that I might make a mistake on the language so I preferred to stay alone instead of making a fool of myself.
students there called me “tensai” and I asked my japanese friend what it meant and she said it meant genius. She said that they called me that cuz I can speak Japanese, English and Tagalog and I was one of the best students in math in our batch.
One guy made fun of me cuz my japanese name is 改善(kaizen) which means ‘improvement’ in japanese but he thinks I’m not improving at 日本語 at all
I actually had depression when I was living in Japan cuz let me tell you, japanese high school is BRUTAL!!!
So that idiots actually open their books and try to remember what was taught in the classroom. Its just homework, in India you get 2 extra things in highschool, i.e, assignments and practicals, but not much homework though. And we get only 6 weeks of summer vac. We also have to give school entrance tests for top Highschools. So u have a better system than what others have.
Btw by homework do u also mean assignments and stuff. Cuz homework here is just pure academics related, like solving questions.
are you a Filipino?
Its same for America, schools not that fun.
I remember asking my teacher why we had to wear school uniform and she was like.
''Well, it's japanese history and you don't understand that.''
''Oh, thank you miss. You help me so much all the time!''
I was like the only one questioning anything in that school and was always told the same thing.
School in japan only teaches you how to remember words for a day with no context whatsoever just to forget all of it the next day.
She told you exactly as she was brainwashed to tell you
I'm Jamaican, this sounds like a lot like our school system.
Well the Caribbean as a whole really.
We weren't allowed to go places in our uniform after school unless we were with an adult.
Idk about Japan but here it's usually for your protection especially if you walked home or took public transport.
If people had beef with a student from your school, you could be targeted just because you were wearing the uniform.
We don't have middle school tho.
It's prep/primary school then high school.
You have to do a big test ( GSAT ) to determine where you go to high school.
When you get into high school, it's kinda all about tests and getting into college but top kids still had personally.
Sometimes the smartest kids were the 'cool kids'.
Edit: I am simply going off of what was described in the video. I don't pretend to know what it is like to go to school in Japan.
D Mcken Except, you are wrong. Your school system isn't like Japan's at all. It's way more chill. One screw up in Japan and you're toast. Quit lying, you probably just went to a poor school.
Yeah i'm also from the caribbean (Dominican Republic) and the smart kids are ussually the cool kids here, or at least no one bully the smarts kids for being smart lol
well here (barbados), people who don’t get grades “up to standard” are often times ostracized and neglected by the teachers which in turn pushes them to put even less effort into work which only makes their grades get worse.
D Mcken bruh that sounds like latin america. My dad use to tell me how if a rival school caught you in uniform walking home theyd most likely mug your ass.
Oh boy, what you said was completely different from Japan.
Students are allowed to wander around after school in their uniform.
Not quite sure about the beef part.
Their middle school is actually called junior-high.
School rules are exceptionally bad especially for girls, if you're trying to be sexy and cute with all the nail polish and dress above the knees, you'll pretty much get a detention straight off. And students bring obento which is like packed lunch. I'm pretty sure lunch time is about the length of 10-15 minutes??
If you're any European/American/ African, 100% guarantee that you won't survive there for a day because the amount of homework you have. If you don't get your work done (even little ones), parents will be contacted immediately.
Each school is different. There are good and bad schools both in Us and Japan. I guess the whole point is, that people he was talking about praise japanese school not knowing anything about their system. It fucks me up every time someone tells me, that they want to move to japan so badly, but in reality they are so used to our (Polish) school system, that they would be dead after a month there.
people will adapt no doubt but many people underestimate how nations other than their own actually functions. Like the cultural differences and such. I went to school both in Asia and USA and saw massive changes to my learning. For once, Western nations are very lenient on students and educations that's for sure, of all the stereotypes, I think it is not arguable that asian schools do take things really intently. but one thing we must realize is that taking things seriously≠better. Like I've seen many people say they want to go to china because they have consistently gotten the best scores in most subjects in class so it must be very good education system, they also have the highest IQ of anyone. Obviously. doing 2 minute research will tell you that is all fake as shit. Chinese Communist Party only reports results from its top-scoring schools in Beijing and Shangai only meaning the Chinese results of which country's students get the best scores is same as if the USA took Harvard, MIT and Ivy league and call it "national average". obviously, even as common sense, do people actually believed 1.4 billion people in china were the smartest out of any one? the same goes with japan and many asian countries, obviously their results are not biased like China but they do things differently that I really love and hate at the same time.
They teach you things they know will be on the test and nothing else so they are very strict with scores. This make the students very depressed and tense but also more hard working. While most western education is built on "well d is passing" while teaching more out of line ways. This makes the students lazy but it also brings uniqueness to them. Its hard to say which is better but the middle path of that is probably the best way to go.
great point! Thank you for sharing this
I agree about the breath of some of those guys. It's just horrendous!!!!
It sounds like you went to a crap middle school. I never heard of the "don't go to a convenience store" rule, but I can understand it. They want you to get home as soon as possible because that trip to and from school is part of the whole experience, thus the school's responsibility.
Not really. The school isnt responsible for anything that happens out of school. The main reason is to keep the school's reputation. They dont want the public to see their students loitering around the neighbourhood, shouting and screaming in groups while in their uniform.
they actually are, when i was in primary school (Argentina) they told us to go home immediately ( we of course didnt and stayed there talking for abt 20 minutes) but the thing is that you have an insurance, if something happens to you in school or fifteen minutes after clases finished the shcool covers it or is responsible for it idk.
Its what our teacher told us , it may or may not be true tho :v
I've done research about Japan and I'm aware of how bad it is there. I've always wondered how Japan can such a creative and flourishing Anime/Manga culture when the country itself is very conformist, but my guess is that the people dislike that conformity go to that sort of field, as a way of escaping it. I know that the Otaku community is looked down upon in Japan, despite it being so popular in the west.
I'm sorry you had such awful experiences with their education system. Teachers really can make or break a school.
Hearing your story really helped me to appreciate my experiences going to school where I did.
Joanna B East Asian education are extremely competitive, even the workplace. If you don't past a certain test then basically your life is over, that's the reality of it. Lived in South Korea 3-4 years, lived in japan 2 years in my childhood
I've only done one year in Japanese middle school (6th Grade). And despite how much I did do a lot better there, I still hated the rules. That rule you mentioned about going home first before going to a convenience store, that was in my school, as well. That pissed me off so much, I just went straight to it and got my usual shit every day before going home.
Yosuke Hanamura wait?! I thought 7th grade was the start of middle school, not 6th grade.
depends on the school district
How did they even enforce those rules and if they did what where the punishments?
Omega Detention. I didn't care, I still had my work done.
Ever wonder why vocaloid is so fucking dark? This is why. This. Is. Why. NOW EVER WONDER WHY EVERY ASIAN STUDENT RELATES TO VOCALOID WHILE WE TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO MUCH.

Summer break is the same everywhere. Welcome to Asia.
I ain't even from Japan, I'm chinese, but hey, its the whole continent suffering this
Well you need inspiration in life, play Minecraft to cure your humane or improve critical thinking because you need to adapt solitary life before entering community. Knowledge is survival, you need to be self aware and observed surroundings, I suggested you practice to accept any fitting idealistic view for realistic social communication because sometimes ideal predicts reality and ideal was right cause you act what you think is right.
Take advantage what you possess or what others think what if you do this or that unless you're lazy or you don't do because you really don't want to.

literally he word for word explained my american education while talking about japanese school systems guess my school was backwards from the 'american' system
Okay but in Australia, the end of year break was 3-4 weeks at best, and breaks between terms was 2 weeks. We never got a 'summer break' ...
BlackRabbit Animations my school gets a 6 week break at the end
in my country we have 3 months
To be honest, I think we aussies have a better system. Short breaks between each term (10 weeks) is much more refreshing and we don't have to constantly look forward to that one big break 5 months away.
2 weeks for summer holidays n a month after the term ends
Everything sucks, nothing is perfect. Is anyone really that surprised???

Basically they are like the ice hockey players in my class

- Annoying
- Tough in groups
- Think they are cool
I think you should add "Probably weak shit when on their own" to your list
I've never heard of a school where the hockey players are the cool kids.
Well i live in Sweden, and here everyone plays ice hockey :)
It's basically similar to the US "jocks" or however its spelled.
Those are basically just wanna be gang members in nz
Based on this video, I see a lot of similarities between schools in Poland and Japan. Learning patterns and books instead of critical thinking and stating opinions. You have to respect the teachers here too and most of the students have a fear of them and have to think of them as someone better. Bullies, check, classic slav bullies, drinking and smoking in in the school bathrooms. Making your days at school harder every day since the 90s. Sometimes ganging up on others after school. We also had a lot of homework during summer vacation except it was 9-10 weeks instead of 8. Besides, things like, not being able to leave the building while being at school. PE lessons in the beginning or the middle of the day + no showers, so you had to bear the next 7 hours smelling everyone and yourself, feeling like you're in a pigsty. PE lessons were more of a competition, the teachers never looked at individual's skills and abilities, so it didn't matter that you were good at something that's not at school, you had to be good at all sports that are at school. Not to mention that you could be a genious and have good grades, but miss a class 2 times, be late often or forget your uniform, oh boi, your grades were suddenly lowered because of shit like that. Stupid shit.

Senmongakkou was the same with test. They defined the student with tests. Even though i did good and passed all of my classes it didn't mean S&@T when i failed the certificate exams. Japanese is my third language after my native pacific island language and english. Yet they required me to pass every single test. One of the teachers just reads out of the book and tells us to memorize practically the whole text book for the exam. And then another just sits and reads the book and randomly gets up and writes on the board and sits back down during the whole semester and never even gave us homework or classwork until the end of the semester where he gives us an answer sheet and tells us to read and understand cuz i will rearrange and make changes on the wordings of that answer sheet. That class was business theory!!! Imagine learning business theory in japanese never understanding the entire subject and being forced to take the final exam!!!! I mean come on!!!!

And it’s just not Japanese school. Other countries such as China and Korea have similar education systems too, especially having homework in summer break 😭😭. Not say I’ve been there before, but I heard it from my mom who took middle school back in her day, and my Japanese teacher. Japan seems fun but the education system stresses me out 😂.

Finland is paradise. You're very lucky to be allowed to live there.
Finland has got the best education system in Europe. Ikr
I live and get educated in Israel:
Most of schools teaches 6 days a week.(Saturday is off).
At high school we learn from 7:45 to 5.
We get summer vacation of 2 month and get a lot of homework. We don't have winter vacation.
And every student from the age of 16.5 is part of the army and have to be ready for losing days at school for it.

Divakar De lmfao
I'm a Malaysian high schooler and we don't just get homework on vacations, we also need to to go back to school for club practice (almost compulsory). like if we get a week off, we have around 3 days of club practice to attend to, leaving us with 4 days left and homework to do, not to mention there is a lot of homework.
we have class on saturday and no vacation the following monday which gives us 6 days of school per week. school hours start at 7:20 and end at 3:00 but if you have club you have to stay until 5:15. there are usually two club days per week. being a club member is fine but if you have a job in your club(president,treasurer, etc.), you'll find yourself doing endless filing and typing lots of documents and failing to meet deadlines only to be scolded by the higher ups. ( i'm a section chief in prefects and i'm constantly sleep-deprived trying to cope up with my academics and inhumane amount of club work.)
Usually, I only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day.
Fun fact, for prefects, five recesses are used for duty (class-patrol) or marching ( we have two recesses per day).not to mention there is morning duty as well which starts at 6:45 and ends at 7:30.
Oh and you cannot bring junk foods, cosmetics, sweets,tic tacs to school. If you do they will be confiscated and will not be returned. Handphones are not allowed as well but the school will return your handphone 3 months after confisticating it.
I'm malaysian too but my school Isn't that strict 😂. Different schools I guess
Japan also has summer Club activities whether youre in Art, Sports club or whatever. Especially after classes. They also have that duty stuff in the morning and school councils, its basically every country.
The only schools with none of this issues are in Finland, because their school system is reformed to fit today's peoples needs and interests.
It has it's problems too, no place is perfect.
F3ragor Which problems are there?
Lack of teacher authority and therefore lack of discipline in class, especially the big classes in crowded city middle schools (7-9 grades) are a nonstop circus. You can't learn shit in that environment. The amount of homework is decent, the myth about "no homework" is bull, but when you try to learn in an environment such as I mentioned with teachers not necessarily having time to tend to every student since they spend the whole time in the class to maintaining peace and order all the while trying to teach, you have to educate yourself after school, and go through the same subjects you went through during that day all over again in order to finish your homework. Standardized tests are in fact frequent too and there's a series of them at the end of 9th grade, one test for every subject so especially then the studying is nonstop. Then there's completely useless yet compulsory subjects like Swedish language. Vocational schools last for 3 years out of which almost half is completely useless because in stead of teaching students for jobs they want to apply to like they should, there are compulsory classes that have nothing to do with it. For example I got a degree on information and communication technologies and what do I get to study? economics and trade law, native language (like I didn't study 9 years of that subject by far already), gymnastics(?!) more maths, et cetera et cetera.. While I'm not particularily against those classes, they should at least be optional because none of that has anything to do with specific profession studies. And to be fair there was some very useful classes too such as entrepreneurship.
Shedopen That is true.
I dont know how Finnish schools are currently (im 36). But when i attended school, it was a complete shit show (sometimes literally. I remember one time some boys from my class painted the walls and ceiling with shit). Bullying was rampant (it didnt help that the bullied kids got more detention than the bullies).
Every day at lunch break students would have food fights (it was because all the teachers would eat in their own room while the students were left unsupervised).
There were around 5 refugees in my class of 29 to 33 students. They were pissed at having to repeat the grades they had already finished (in their own country) so they mostly ignored the teachers. Still, when they got bored, they would randomly start screaming animal noises in the middle of class.
As for teachers. Most of them were apathetic, but there was the Finnish language teacher that loved to single out a student and mock him in front of the class (that would usually take 20-30% of the class time). We also had a young woman be our Swedish language teacher that we drove to a mental breakdown and quit being a teacher (i think we were her first and last class of students). Some of it was because we were resentful about having to learn Swedish.
people who obsess and as you said, "fetishsize" everything about japan are the absolute worstt. sure, anime and manga is my drug of choice for entertainment, but I would never want to move there, i appreciate my culture and home way too much.
Congrats because there are no summer vacation in indonesia. It's a tropical country, and they give us a lot of homeworks in our short vacation.

Also american who lived through a Japanese school system. I had similar experiences and it was quite tough. The 6 day a week school days were manditory but in the late 90's the law changed and it became 5 days a week. Also, most education there was just rote memorization, they had hollow content and I like to call it 'education theater'. My experience in public school was, teachers and Senpais often harass you to feel good about them selves, and they justify it by 'teaching discipline'. They really need to change thier school system to keep up with the rest of the world.
you know in England most schools only have 6 weeks summer break and we still have homework
lol we have like 12 weeks in Ireland
Yeah but in Ireland we are forced to learn Irish even though most people don't even speak it anymore and that pisses me off so much
Jack Mitchell bruh I got 3 months
Yes, but you have like a million breaks during the year.
Jack Mitchell in northern Ireland we get 2 months and we (usually) don't learn Irish and we have homework but not in the holidays
Boohoo, you only had 8 weeks in Japan.
THE UK HAS 6 WEEKS.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
(I'm mostly joking).
But not about the 6 weeks part.
Nessville I spent 2 and half months of pure hell. Burning, sitting around, getting dumber, I nearly didn't graduate.
I'm the type to need a whetstone to stay sharp, you know?
Nope, you're not going to japan and your'reliterally the type this guy talked about in the video. A weeb.
Some years back the government (David Cameron or Gordon Brown, I can't remember) tried to make it 5 weeks. Luckily everyone went batshit crazy so it remained at 6 weeks.
HAHA! HERE IT'S 3 MONTHS >:3
AND NO HOMEWORK
I mean .. Public school isn't great anywhere.
Only in over liberal and capitalism countries.
