Going to school in Japan


In Japan students have to take a set of exams in order to get into high school and collage if the student does well on the exams it increases his or her chances of getting into one of the top schools. In preparation for these teats some Japanese students attend both joiner high and cram school.
Some students how don’t do well on the tests go back to cram school, these uncongenial students are called rurouni. Not all of these rurouni will get into top schools, the ones who don’t to on to collage end up staying in the same dead end job. An example of one of these jobs is delivering the news paper twice a day.

I am not sure how to do justice to any of these radicals.

Anime is what got me interested in Japanese culture. And that lead to the class that I am taking and this section of the message board.

And the stress level seems to be much higher there than here, it would be interesting to go to school there after going to school here in the US.

Kagome may have to go to school, but she rarely does. Usually she "has some weird virus or something" keeping her from going to school.
