Why do kids in Japan have to go straight home after school


Why do kids in Japan have to go straight home after school?
Ok so when I read the manga Loveless and the the manga Girl Friends the people in it would say that they had to go straight home after school and if they didn't the teachers would get mad. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it because they don't want them walking around in public in their uniforms?

It might just be because of their culture.
2 :
to wok their dogs
3 :
Could have something to do with the uniforms; maybe so that they don't get them dirty? The schooling culture there is quite strict compared to North America, so they probably have different rules about all that stuff.
4 :
Because it's a manga magazine. How real are the depiction of U.S. High Schools on T.V. shows?
5 :
It's because they see American teens who are all so fucked up because they don't go right home and lack good parenting. They don't want to become like them.
6 :
It's probably to study. In many Japanese schools, they have clubs that require their members to stay after school for club activities. There's something like a "go home right after school club" (non official) where the students who did not join clubs just go straight home. Perhaps that specific school did not want their students to join clubs but generally, not all Japanese students go straight home after school, and they do hang out with friends after school too.

I think it was to keep children safe and out of trouble.
