[UK] 21. UK vs Japan – School Time イギリス対日本、学校の時間

Something I saw in Japan in 2006 was Japanese people going to school in their uniforms on the weekend! I also saw them go to school in their school vacations! This was very surprising to me because The UK is very different!

The only time I went to school on a Saturday was to play a football (soccer) game against another school’s team. School clubs don’t really operate on the weekend because there are no teachers or staff there to supervise the school. The sports teacher went there to organise the sports game, but that’s all. In many cases, one does not have to wear a uniform when one enters High School. British schools usually finish at approximately 3:00pm and most pupils go home to relax. My school finished at 2:40pm every day. A few people stay for 1 or 2 hours, but that’s all. I heard that in Japan, most pupils are encouraged to join a club and attend club activities often after school. I also see a lot of pupils studying at cafes in Tokyo. That is something I’ve never seen in the UK. Pupils usually just go home to play.

  1. Have you ever been to school on the weekend?
  2. Did you feel pressured to join a circle when you were in school?
  3. Did you have to wear a uniform whenever at school?
  4. Would you prefer a school life similar to the UK (as described above) ?
  5. Why do you think people study at cafes?
