And there are some regular counselors and big personal lockers in high school.

I don't know about going to school in America very much, but I heard from friend that in America students have more free time to do what they want to do, not just studying. And the school fees in America is expensive. That is the same as Japan. But in America to get the scholarship is easier than in Japan. (maybe)

People say that to enter the universities in America is easier than in Japan, but that to graduate from them in America is more difficult than in Japan.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a impression that most of examinations in american universities are conducted as a interview with the professor.
For the system of american high schools, I don't have any ideas... But for the situation of the students, with watching american dramas or movies, I get a impression that the cheerleaders and the members of football club have the initiative in the students and that they are sometimes nasty to the withdrawn or indoor-type students, though they are also star of all students.

ReplyDelete1) Students (have to) discuss about their topic and tell their opinion in class.
2) They use GPA system to calculate the grades of students.
3) Students don’t have to buy new textbooks. They can borrow them from school and return them at the end of term.
4) Students take advanced class but being student in the U.S looks fun for me.

Yoshimi Minoda
I've studied in America when I was 14 years old in school program but only for a week.
ReplyDeleteSo it was almost like a holiday.
I stayed at American familie. I know quite a few about American education,but I have some impressions of American school.
1 More free than in Japan. No uniform, students are treated or behave equally as teacher in class room.
2 They have much time to play outside after school, but at home they study quite well(of course it depends on person).
3 More American students study alone, at home or in library than Japanese?
These are just impressions so I'm not sure if they are much to the actuality....

* American students are much more active in participating in the class than Japanese students, for example they ask lots of questions to teachers.
