CLASS 2
Read about some differences between the school system in Japan and the United States .
In Japan, the school year begins in April and ends in March. In the US, it starts in August and
ends in June. There are no school buses in Japan. Schools are close enough for students to walk
there. In Japan, public elementary school kids wear street clothes, like in US schools. But in
junior high, they wear a school uniform. In Japanese schools, everyone must remove their shoes
at the entrance and change into slippers. Japanese students stand and greet their teacher at the
beginning and end of each class. In US schools, cafeteria workers prepare the school lunches
and serve the students, but in Japan, the cooks cook the lunch and students take turns serving
lunch to their classmates. Students eat lunch in their classroom at their desk. There are no
janitors in Japanese schools; students clean their school every day. Summer vacation is about
five weeks in Japan. In the US, it is ten weeks. During summer vacation, Japanese students go
to school many times for their school club; they must do a lot of homework.
