We take one trip around May, and one around October. And one big trip (for days) in the last year of elementary, junior high and high school.
2 :
Japanese don't take trips, they are forcefully kidnapped and taken to faraway places.
3 :
Christmas time

what's the typical high school day in japan
what's the typical high school day in japan?
I'm gonna be an exchange student in 2010 and i was wondering what high school life is like in japan. Any info would do, including number of classes a day, number of days in a week, any breaks, the classes you can take there, type of gym activities, and how I'll be treated as an exchange student there. I'm a Vietnamese/Lao mix and I'm very outgoing. I'm not afraid of bursting out and doing crazy stuff.

Haha, "God"'s answer wasn't really helpful nor true but it made me laugh. It's like the stereotype that all Japanese people are ninja's, eat sushi, and do karaoke every night. Really the average high school day in Japan is probably SOMEWHAT similiar to what you're used to. Compared to what I know from my American High School it's much more "strict" and less laid back. There's uniforms, you're expected to be more polite to your teachers, and you're taught in a more formal way. Though that of course doesn't mean it won't be fun. :) Enjoy your stay in Japan!

Go to youtube and look up videos of other foreign exchange students in Japan. There are lots of them and it will give you a good idea of what it's like.

In Japanese high school, they come to school around 8am and leave around 2-3 pm. We have 4 classes in before noon and 2 in after noon. Many of students are belonging to clubs. So they do those activities after their classes end around 2-3pm until 5-6pm. Some of them Monday-Friday. Some others only 1 day a week. Those who do not belong to clubs leave after classes. Then work or walk around city and so on. Schools are 5 days in one week. Saturday and Sunday are holidays. Japanese high schools have uniforms.

Hey, I'm an exchange student now here in Japan. A lot of students take the train, walk or bike to school. I walk, take the train, and then take a bus! School starts about an hour later here than it did for me in America, it starts at about 8:30. School ends at about 3:30, but the earliest I leave is 4:00 because of cleaning duties plus a short homeroom after school. I have 7 classes a day, 4 before lunch, 3 after. They're about 45 minutes long. Sometimes we have Saturday school, I think two or three Saturdays a month, but they're shorter than regular school days. Electives usually include music, calligraphy, and art. And gym is pretty much what you'd do in your country. Once a day I take a period for Japanese tutoring (conversation, kanji, grammar). Other than that I attend the classes but don't always do much. The students are kind, sometimes shy, sometimes...very loud. When I first walked into the classroom I was immediately greeted with with shouting. If you're outgoing, they'll want to be friends. Never be shy! I'll be glad answer any more questions as I have a lot more answers. My email is in my profile.

Schools in Japan are 'tough!Not only the language is difficult bu also the curriculm and lessons...The teachers ar usullay well-preped but when it comes to exams...You should focus and read a lot!You also should be part of afte-school 'jobs' which are normal for Japanese teenagers-h/schoolers... I wish you good luck and try yourbest!! ~Gambate!! ^^

In Japan, At first, 2 year: kindergarten. 6 years: elementally. 3 years: junior high. 3 years: high school. 4years :university. If you want to be a medical doctor added 2 more years. Japanese schools do not have a janitor, that's what the students are for. There are no cafeterias but there are school lunches. The kids are divided into groups and each week or month or so your group has a certain duty. It may be bringing the food from the kitchen to the classroom (it's part of your fees) and next time it's scrubbing toilets. The boys are laid back and the girls do all the work. You wear slippers indoors, even in class. You tend to stay in your homeroom and rarely switch classes except for special ones like science where you need a lab setup. They teach more things, like how to sew or cook, this is not some home ec class option but something everyone in the class does at one point or another. Mandatory learning of English. If you want to learn something else, do it on your own time or college. Not required to go to college to get a good job. College in Japan is a joke, only a few actually make you work. Instead you slave over K-12 education and college is the time to relax. Physical discipline is illegal but still done sometimes. Mandatory uniforms and strict codes of personal appearance, except for elementary school. You have to join a club. This meets after school. There used to be school on Saturday mornings too. The time of the year for when it starts/ends is April/March whereas in America it depends on your school, could be September/June or August/May. Everyone graduates at age 18, that's how they hold people back when they start, to make sure everyone is 18 when they finish. Whereas in America, again it depends on the school, cutoff point could be if you are born in November or December. Others have asked for the differences and I wrote a lot before but I'm sure there's other info online if you search.

You can phrase the question as How are Japanese schools? or What are Japanese schools like?

this doesn't really apply to you since you are a 10th grader... but my friend lived in japan when she was elementary school (her mom was an English teacher). shes Caucasian (blonde hair) and at first all the kids were like "omg! can i have a piece of your hair?!" they were very enthusiastic. but after a month she had to friends because she didnt know how to speak the language and she said the kids resented her. shes still kinda upset about it know... Well, dont really pay to much attention to the story, she was only a kid. if i got the change to do what you're doing i would be SOO excited!! good luck and have fun!!

Why do Japanese history books mislead the Japanese school children about Japan’s military past
Why do Japanese history books mislead the Japanese school children about Japan’s military past?
Since I have done extensive research for writing a novel I have discovered the Japan history books teach their children the allies and China started the war. They characterize the Japanese Armed Forces as the protector of the women and children of Japan. The factor of the murders of countless Chinese men, women, and children is not mentioned. I have found the new doctors in their army were sent to China to carry our horrible experiments with surgery and testing of chemical agents. There were even clinics where Chinese people were dissected by the removal of the arms, legs, and opening the victims up to remove their intestines, while they were still alive and screaming.

if you were the leader of a country, wouldn't you try to make that particular country look good in the eyes of its citizens? that is exactly what happenes with every history, not with only that of Japan.
2 :
Because they want to have had glorious past and that is why they exaggerate their past!
3 :
The same reason American History books do the same about Indians, blacks, and a lot of other things. . . progressive brainwashing in order to make the present and future what they think it should be. It never works. Truth always comes out. All it does is make a bigger mess.

You should read the books in North Korea sometime! Even here in the US, the history books don't always tell the truth. It is sad.
5 :
It is not a matter of concern with one country, Governments of almost all countries do the same and twist the history, which suits their ideas.
6 :
the americans will proberbly do the same for the war in iraq
7 :
An American historian, discussing why southern histories of the Civil War emphasize 'the Lost Cause' rather than slavery in their writing, said that the only thing worse than losing a war is losing a war that was fought for a bad cause. If you lose a war to defend slavery, or to defend overbearing corporate interests as the Japanese did in invading China and then creating the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, then you have to change the story. Because the United States and the Japanese governments have gone to such great lengths to recreate the sort of economic structure in Japan that existed before WWII, in order for it to be legitimate the story must be changed to show the war was actually started for good reasons. For another example, just look at our History Channel and the portrayal of the Vietnam War. I have always said that the men and women who fought in Vietnam have gotten a raw deal and I am glad that the focus is now changing, but the History Channel is becoming ridiculous. The focus is now on only those engagements that the US won and completely ignoring the reasons why American support began to decline, which is complete disinformation to make people believe that protesters were actively collaborating with the Communists to hurt America, with absolutely no legitimate grounds for protesting anything. In another five years, the way things are going, we will start to believe we actually won the Vietnam War. What the Japanese government is doing is certainly outrageous, but it is sadly not unique.

Part one of your question, it is true Japan did not start the war. Part Two You can not call the atrocity's in China a Holocaust because they are not Jewish At the end of WWII the Prince of Japan was not removed, so they won the war against China, so they have a right to claim what they wish because they are the victors
9 :
Japan is not the only ones guilty of this. The truth often gets blurred. Many of us don't know about all the atrocities that happened in the days of cowboys and indians or some of the things that happened during our revolutionary days. It's sad but that's the way it happens.
