They say education is the foundation of society—and since Japanese and American societies are different in many ways, it may not surprise you that aspects of the two countries’ educational systems are like chalk and cheese. To find out just how different learning your ABCs (or あいうs) can be in the U.S. and Japan, study up on these nine things that are commonplace in Japanese public schools, but probably wouldn’t fly in America.

1. Dress Code

While only about 20 percent of public schools in the U.S. require uniforms, nearly all Japanese public school students suit up from junior high school on. The traditional uniform is a high-collared, black, military-style suit for boys and a beribboned sailor blouse and pleated skirt for girls (sorry ladies, there’s no pants option). These as-seen-in-anime styles are still the norm for middle school students, but the high school uniform is gradually being replaced by the tartan skirts and trousers with ties typical of Western parochial schools. Besides regulating clothing, shoes, and backpacks, many Japanese secondary schools impose strict bans on makeup, nail polish, hairstyles, and even eyebrow grooming that would make the average American teen wince. Perhaps the most eye-opening aspect of Japanese school dress codes, though, is that until the 1990s, these mortifying buruma(bloomers) were the standard girls’ PE uniform.

SECRET EXTRA QUESTION FOR TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK:

4. What is the advanced, polite vocabulary word that means “bathroom”?

HINT: Read through all the “Student Planners” bullets in the Code of Conduct.

TODAY I COLLECTED:

• 2 nice flash cards, one of the words must be “unique” and have a nice picture
• “Apple event article”, pages 1-3, annotated
• CW10 on loose leaf
• question #11 on loose leaf

BOTH of the loose leaf assignments were on the blog last week BEFORE we took the quiz.

lms.code.of.conduct.10

HW:

Carefully read the Lowrey Code of Conduct page 10.

If you want full points, you should print and annotate the page (even better, annotate the page in your real Code of Conduct packet).

On loose leaf, neatly copy the questions then answer.

1. What is the rule for gum?
2. Why do you think Lowrey has this rule? Give at least 3 reasons and EXPLAIN.
3. Some people think gum chewing SHOULD be allowed in school.  Give and EXPLAIN at least one reason why.  You may use your own brain or do some research or BOTH.
