Japanese lifestyle ~A report card~

The long summer vacation has started in school.

They get the school report from their teacher at the end of the

term.

I talk about the way to evaluate students in Japanese school.

I don't know well about the other schools. 

In my school case(elementary school), the kinds of subject were,

Japanese, Math, Science, Social study, Physical Education(P.E.), Music

Drawing and manual arts, Moral education.

Nowadays, elementary students start to learn English.

There was no English class when I was in elementary school.

Generally, we do not  learn  anything about religion.

If the school was private and  related certain religion, students

may have the class of religion. Japanese public school keep the

rule of the separation of religion and public service.

I  guess, the summer vacation of children are not longer than the

other countries'.  It starts from about 18th July and end 31st August.

So, it is one and a half month. I have heard that students have

more than 2 month in abroad. And they don't have assignments.

As you can guess, Japanese school assign students a lot of

homework during summer vacation.

  However, most of students play freely until the end of the

summer vacation. And they have a hard time, noticing the

tons of task are still remained.

  I used to be one of such students when I was in school.

In the United States, we start our summer break in June. It is very interesting to know that over in Japan, it starts an entire month later!
