Yes, they should also be chained and whipped. What? Nothing.
3 :
Yeah, that would be cool.
4 :
Definitely not. Why deprive them of expressing themselves through what they choose to wear?
5 :
Some schools do. The middle school that I attended in Seattle, WA had uniforms. Their reasoning for making students wear them is so there was less emphasis on appearance and more concentration on academics. I am assuming that you think schools in America should...
6 :
My whole entire city is wearing uniforms... Not that bad to be honest, saves you money, and kids won't get bullied if they were poor because how would you know!
7 :
No because unlike those places we have what s called the Freedom Of Expression. Making someone wear uniforms goes against what America is about.
8 :
I think it would be cool it would be like anime lol
9 :
yes i have always wanted to have to wear uniforms to school. i think schools with assigned uniforms always seem more high class and it would solve so many problems, but one disadvantage is that i wouldn't be able to stare at someones tight pink pants : / ohhhh wait, he dropped out my busttttt!! just kidding i'm not jenna ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he was friends with jenna, his bust!
10 :
Yep i think so and its most other countries like England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Countries in Africa. It's a lot smarter and it helps schoolchildren dress appropriately for practice in later life like dressing for work and having the mindset of being proud of what they look like without the pressure of finding something new to wear everyday

I am going to move to Japan to go to school in Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto. What options do I have

I am going to move to Japan to go to school in Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto. What options do I have?
I am an American and my girlfriend is Japanese. She might be moving to Japan and I want to know what my options are because I want to move with her. I have a 4.0 GPA with about 40 U.S. college credits. I can very likely get into UCLA because I have preferred admissionã€€(TAP). I do not know if I should try to study abroad in Kyoto University through UCLA, or if I have any other options. I do not speak Japanese, but I am learning; I want to take classes in English. Should I try to transfer to Japanese college, or should I just go through UCLA and spend a year abroad? I do not know if Japanese college will require a SAT or ACT, because UCLA does not and I have not studied for them. I also have bad high school grades, so I do not know if I apply to Japanese universities if that matters. Please any advice, help, suggestions, or if anyone knows colleges that accept English speaking students in Kobe, Osaka, or Kyoto please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry I don't have specifics but you can also try and get info on Doshisha Univ and maybe Ritsumeikan Univ as well. Since I haven't gone to any of these schools for college I can't exactly tell you for sure, but most colleges in Japan may have a few classes that take place in English, but 85% of the classes are held in Japanese. I think the best way for you is to enroll into UCLA and go to Japan as an exchange student to study abroad for a year. I know that Sophia university (Jochi Univ) in Tokyo and also ICU in Tokyo have many classes (if not all classes depending on the department and faculty) that are taught in English. Temple Univ. in Tokyo is an American Univ that has a campus in Japan. http://www.tuj.ac.jp/newsite/main/index.html Here's some websites you can use. Kyoto Uni http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/index-e.html Doshisha Uni http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/ Ritsumeikan Uni. http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/ Good Luck!

I think it depends on your plan for the future. If you are thinking of living, working, and marrying in Japan, be a transfer student to Japanese university (language does not matter, you must study Japanese anyway). If not, enter UCLA and be an exchange student to study in Japan for a year or so. By all means, UCLA comes first, your options will come after that, even if you are not sure about what to do after graduating university. Life is long. Take your choices carefully and be well prepared. Good luck to you, son.

Homeschooling is not done in Japan.
2 :
I've never heard of it in Japan. Schooling is too important to have your mum teach you. It's all about getting the best grades so you can go to the schools of choice. By the time you reach high school this is very important because it will decide which college you can go to/
3 :
We do not have homeschooling in Japan.

How is grading done in schools in Japan

How is grading done in schools in Japan? ?
I'm not quite sure I understand it even though I did some research on it. Some sites say it's just the usual grading like 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, but isn't there another way of saying it? I remember seeing somewhere that someone made a statement about how 2-3 means 11th grade. Sorry if this question is confusing, but I didn't know how to phrase it without getting the wrong thing.

Elementary or primary school in Japan is grades 1 through 6, when children are about 7 to 12 years old. Middle or junior high school is three years, from about 13 to 15 years old. When asked their grade in Japanese the students will give an abbreviated answer that still makes it clear what grade level they're at. The confusion starts when they answer in English, in a situation where an American teenager would say, "I'm in 8th grade," a Japanese student in the same grade is likely to say, "I'm in the third grade," to mean the third year of middle school. High school in Japan is also three years, from about 16 to 18 years old. High school students are also likely to confusingly say they're in the first, second or third grade instead of 10th, 11th or 12th.

Lets cross our fingers :D Oh and i heard the same rumors, but i actually saw that they are making a new season. Then of course its not mix rumors lol
