HW6 school

There are many differences between schools in Japan and in the United Sates. At first, in Japan, schools start in April and ends in March. However, in the United States, school starts in September and ends in June. This is the biggest difference between Japan and the United States. Secondly, high school in Japan, students have own class room. It means, students spend a day in the class room. And teachers come to the class. In contrast, in the United States, teachers have own room. Therefore, students have to move class room to class room every time. Finally, almost of all high schools in Japan have own uniforms. This uniform shows that the students belong to the school. At the same time, however, it shows the proud of the school. In addition, the uniform is a kind of symbol of the group. Many Japanese think to cooperate as a group is really important. So, this is a typical example of Japan. Differently, in the United States, many schools don’t have uniforms.I think it is because of the United States is the country which respect each personality. It might be a typical characteristic of United States. These days, however, American style schools are becoming popular more and more. Some people prefer the style because that is freer than Japanese style.
