Understanding the structure and levels of the Japanese school system is crucial to appreciating its role in reinforcing the core values discussed earlier. You’ll find that compulsory education in Japan, which takes you up to the age of 15, covers both elementary and junior high school.
- Body language and gestures. English gestures that Japanese people do not usually understand include rubbing your finger and thumb together to show money, tapping the side of your nose for “nosy/ mind your own business”, kissing the tips of your fingers for “delicious”, pointing to your chest for “I” (the Japanese point at the nose), the hand position for “come here” and “go away”, a cut across the neck for “time up”/ “stop the speech” (in Japanese it usually means “you are fired”), and cross your heart for “I promise” (in Japanese that is linked little fingers).
- Dress. Despite what pop culture cliches might make you think, the Japanese tend to be quite conservative in dress, and age appropriacy and different clothes for different places have been very important concepts since the age of the kimono.
- The teacher’s role. Unlike the cliche that many people have of East Asian classrooms, Japanese students do not usually expect foreign teachers to be an authoritarian font of all wisdom who leads everything.
- Asking questions/ saying you don’t understand. This is the one where Japanese students can fit in with the Asian stereotype. One classic example is that in a Japanese company it is normal for a subordinate to say “Yes, I understand” to any instructions from the boss, and then find out from elsewhere whatever they didn’t understand.
- Zero Holdbacks. Being held back by a year could derail a student’s determination to continue down the path to academic success and could very much affect his/her self-esteem.
- Uniforms. At the primary level, most Japanese schools don’t require students to follow dress codes. They can attend classes wearing street clothes. But once they proceed to junior high and high school, they will start wearing the classic Japanese uniforms with white shirts and dark second pieces that you see depicted in anime and movies.
- Grade Levels. Western educational systems, such as in the US, consider 1st to 5th graders as having elementary status, 6th to 8th graders as junior high, and 9th to 12th graders as part of the high school student body.
- Clean as You Go. The perception of Japan is true, it is a country that values discipline and honors their sense of responsibility, so much so that schools don’t really hire janitors or cleaning services to maintain classrooms.
