School

School is not a place where students just gain academic knowledge but also learn how to have a relationship with others in any country in the world. However, different countries have different school systems. Some countries systems, like Japan, are concentrated more on nation wide unified academics while other countries, like America, are concentrated more on finding individual interests and characteristics. This also directly connects to different characteristics of family in two countries, which shows difference culture of two.
Japanese school system is heavily focused on entrance of university. In the other words, all students in Japan get unified academic studies to enter a university. Since most of students are only focused on entrance exam for a university, they do not get many chances to have close relationship with teachers. It is because of number of students in a class and strict cultural rules between older and younger people. Japanese students also have more subjects that they have to study than American students. In America, they study fewer subjects, but have smaller number of students in the class. Students also have closer relationships with teachers than Japanese students, and a student and a teacher could become a friend. Some students have very close relationship with teachers that they even talked to teachers about their private life. American schools also have flexibility to school system. It is not difficult to see different school systems in different regions. This flexibility gives individuals to think about what they want to do after they graduate.
Japanese and American schools have different systems, but students of both countries gain knowledge and meet friends. However, just like difference in family, Japanese school is more unified while American school concentrates on individuals. Just like Japanese school, Korean school has very unified system; most students are concentrated on entering a university. In my own opinion, both type of schools have strong and weak points. Japanese school gives unification between students while American school gives chance for students to choose their future.
