Occupy Underground

I know what Americans say, in order to comfort themselves, about the Japanese school system.
They say that it doesn't teach "creativity" the way the American school system does. That it turns people into robots, etc.
Well, that claim may have about .05% truth to it, but they go to school 230-240 days a week compared to, I think, 180 for American kids. They learn A LOT. I have an 18 yr. old, a 15 yr. old and a 9 year old. Let me tell you it is impressive --and it isn't just academics. They learn how to be social with each other, to get a long, to grow vegetables, tie knots, clean, cook, nutrition, gym class for REAL FITNESS, etc. Japanese kids wear school uniforms which means they aren't competing to look like Justin Bieber or the like. For them, identity is not fashion growing up (except on weekends)

America is turning out incredible dummies, and lazy ones too. It needs major reforming.

End of rant.
