Japanese schools in anime

[Sephiroth]

So apparently in Japan, every school has after hours clubs devoted to students beating the crap out of each other and faculty does nothing to break it up. They think nothing of students taking extended absences. A minority of time is devoted to class work. There are no rues about the length of the skirts for the girl’s uniforms. And the cafeteria sells buffet quality sushi.

Did I miss anything?

Some of the teachers are monsters, aliens, cult leaders or possessed by demons.

I hated that in "Heidi, Girl of the Alps".

The extended absences thing is right. When I taught in a Japanese high school, I had students that would randomly disappear for a few months. I saw one student three times during the entire year. As long as the tuition was paid, the school kept the place.

And you'd be surprised at how many classes are cancelled for BS reasons. If the school festival is coming up, you can write off entire days (if not weeks)

I worked in several high schools, including an all girls one. I'd say it was 50/50 on whether they cared about the skirt length. The less prestigious the school, the less they cared.

But if the skirt is too long, you might be a yanki (aka, a delinquent).

I found it so interesting to listen to the stories that one of my former students (at college) who previously was an English teacher in Japan. It’s definitely a different place.

No rules on the length of the girl's skirts?! Buffet quality sushi?! I'm going to high school in Japan!!!

The student council has more power than the Japanese Diet in like half these shows.

I do find it funny how "Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro" gets around this by showing like, one teacher so far, and otherwise just not really talking about school itself. Even that one teacher doesn't actually do anything other than tell some people to go home since its after-hours.

Hentai has taught me that there are not only a lot of empty classrooms in Japanese schools, but absolutely no one passes by to notice two people(or more) having sex (even though there are huge windows nearby).

Do Japanese schoolgirls all really wear the sailor suits? You'd have thought by now they'd have modernized the uniforms.

It's for a school project.
