2 :
yep, they do ;3
3 :
elementary: public-NO, private-YES junior high: both-YES high school: both-YES college: both-NO
4 :
It depends on school and area, but mostly PRIMARY SCHOOL > no JUNIOR HIGH and HIGH > yes * Most private school has its uniform from primal. There's no big difference between public and private in basis. But private school puts effort on either university entrance exam or sports.
5 :
Yes, only public elementary do not wear uniforms. Difference? Private schools are expensive.
6 :
yes
7 :
It's pretty much the norm. Even private schools have uniforms. My daughters elementary school had uniforms. Both of them wear uniforms in junior high, one in public the other in private. It's the norm.
8 :
Seems it depends on prefecture or region when looking at elementary schools. for example, I remember my cousins (aichi-ken) were wearing uniforms when they went to public elementary schools. And I think most of the junior/high schools require uniforms.

How do I let my parents send me to boarding school in Japan

How do I let my parents send me to boarding school in Japan?
Hi there, I live in America and am fluent in Japanese and English. I've been wanting to go to boarding school for a long time, and decided on going to school in Japan. The education is a lot different then American education (Tougher, longer etc...) but the price is a lot more. If you are a parent, would you let me go? And what should I do so I can get to go, in your eyes? Thank you very much.

I would always view a foreign education ( a whole new different system) as a plus. Having said that though... A child has to demonstrate a certain level of maturity and responsiblity before he/she can be allowed for a foreign sojourn. Have a heart to heart with your parents, in my opinion they would know a little more about the world than a youngster, their advice would be the best!

Looking for a graduate school in Japan that has a IT program

Looking for a graduate school in Japan that has a IT program?
I'm looking for grad schools in Japan that offer IT programs at the Masters level. Specifically in Networking/Network Security but I'm interested in looking into other areas also. There is one condition however, the school must teach the IT degree in English. Unfortunately my Japanese will not be decent enough to understand classes taught in Japanese and attempting to do so anyway would really just be a waste of money. At the moment I have no preference on the region of Japan, so any school is as good as the next at this point.

Hmm I can't find one that has IT specifically but Keio University offers something really similar: they have a graduate school for system design & management. http://www.keio.ac.jp/english/academics/graduateschools/index.html
