Your acting range is actually really good and on better display in this video than most. Also, we did it everyone, Sora could finally afford backgrounds.
The drinking during class thing was opposite for me. In the US in HS, we could bring water bottles, but couldn't drink them during the lecture while the teacher was talking for some reason. In Uni, it depended on the class. In Japan, when I studied at a language school, everyone would be drinking coffee and soda all throughtout the class, and one of the teachers would sometimes purposefully call on whoever was mid-sip just to be funny and embarrassing. When I taught English in a one-on-one convo school, both the teacher and student could drink during the class as if we were chatting at a cafe or something. It was great
At my university people not only had drinks but they ate too. I used to have to wear earplugs because all the crunchy foods like chips drove me crazy. It makes sense if people have back to back things with no chance to eat. See it at work during meetings too.
Got a memo from my kid's school principal recently: parents, make sure your kid brings their water bottle to school every day, we want them to stay well-hydrated!
I find the idea that students can't have something like water in class bizarre, especially with how warm and humid Japan is rumored to get in fall and spring. That's a recipe for dehydration health issues. In the US, not all schools are air-conditioned for high heat. I went to one. The only cool room in the building was the library, which was air-conditioned. That was it. Other rooms usually had a singular fan. Thankfully, we get out for summer in my state of Iowa.
They must be the weebs to see someone dye their hair and immediately, based on nothing think it's because of anime. People dye their hair, it's a thing.
@@CT-hr9nk Yeah but it usually for a dumb reason so that why people are critical. I favor we do what the Japanese schools do in this case but its never going to happen since the schools these days pretty much have no rules except not killing anyone.
Doesn't exist this some Japanese movie or show dialog taking out of context closest I can think of is somebody driving a ultra small car like those smart cars basically two seat cars or if a big fat guys buys a small sports car and wedges himself in it.
True story: My boy Dima kept bragging about how he was going to dye his hair silver on the last day of high school to look like Sephiroth. We told him don't do it because 1. Even back then it was weird and 2. He had short hair. He did it anyway and came in with a hat after looking at himself.
My mom was actually a teacher at my high school, so she would drive me in every day. Thinking back, it was pretty cringe... ...But, then again, so was I.
In Catholic high schools in the US they tend to be more strict about drinking in class. From my experience they're not quite as strict about dying hair, but in mine they didn't allow "unnatural hair colors." But if you decided you wanted to go from blonde to redhead, it would generally be ok. Not that many students in my high school had cars, either, but a lot of us took driver's education classes *at* our high school. That said this was in NYC, where a lot of adults don't even have cars 😄
The rule against dying hair is absurd because it allows school to control your outside of school life as well and school shouldn't be allowed to control students life to that degree. So yeah, it works like that if I can't have dyed hair in school then I can't also have dyed hair in my private life becouse I can't both have dyed and not dyed hair at the same time... Idiocy...
Yes! Also I remember hair for boys couldn’t go below your ears. It might sound crazy but I sort of miss the uniforms with all the crazy revealing gangster clothes people wear in public highschool
@@SzaraSzarancza If you can figure out how to make it work, you can. Other people will still take priority over your individual need for arbitrary cosmetics, it's not really idiocy. It's more like inflated stubbornness on the part of the person who wishes to go against school rules. Many jobs do the same thing, as such it's a good way to teach you how to better pay attention to how your personal choices might affect others around you. You can't have tattoos or piercings in certain branches unless you manage to take them out/hide them during your job or else you need a new job. There is also the fact that we are talking about people who are still not adults, so even if they want to do something that doesn't mean they can simply because they are still not adults. Not like dying your hair really matters, but this is more of a gestural lesson than it is to be seen with literal dis/advantages.
@@dydx_ Tattoos, piercings, and dyed hair have zero impact on other people. If they believe it's distracting due to their personal beliefs and prejudices it's their fault. One in five Americans have tattoos and it's becoming increasingly normal in the workplace.
I'm seeing how each society integrates Japan learns to trust the rules and public transport While America is taught to be independent because college is around the corner, through getting a license and a part time job (there are laws how long and when each night they can work til) to save up a little for college's over inflated price
Tbch I'm more intrigued by how they have their own way of dealing things US relies on practiced and regulated freedom, which is why independence of self is taught to make sure they handle themselves as self-discipline JP however relies on disciplinary measures in a societal scale to make way for something else (e.g. HS students not owning cars/not doing part-time to make way for environmental transportation and educational growth) and it shows
Wait, how does a strict, stifling environment like that teach people to trust rules? Even the lesser degree of that in American school taught me to reject any rule that seems arbitrary and to hate authority.
It's a matter of hyper-individualism in the United States and Japan's greater emphasis on societal values. Child labor laws are in place for business to have cheap labor. The $1,000 a student saves up isn't going to make a dent in their tuition. Also the urban planning the U.S. is atrocious and requires you to have a car otherwise you will be stuck in miles and miles of single family homes with crazy winding roads. In Japan everything is available within a 15 minute walk.
I'm an Old (graduated high school 45 years ago this month, in fact) and in my high school, coloring your hair was forbidden as was drinking in class. On the other hand, it was practically a given that you'd get your driver's license on or just after your 16th birthday and the joke was that the kids drove better cars than the teachers. One of my siblings ran into a house (yes an honest to God house) the day he got his driver's license, which was also his 16th birthday. (Neither the car nor the house was damaged. The car was an enormous Chrysler New Yorker, a damned tank.) I, on the other hand, did not get a driver's license until I was 29. (High functioning autism for the win!) I'd graduated from university and law school and passed the bar before I got a driver's license. I am not kidding.
Yup. Drinking in class, usually bottled water, or maybe soda wasn't a problem, last I recall. Or, if someone needed to, they could get a hall pass and go use the drinking fountain. That was a long time ago, for me.

For the last one about drinks. We can have them but -at least here in Texas- it has to be a closed lid so that it doesnt spill on anything like carpet or wires.
My school has a similar system, but they only allow you to drink water, as long as it’s from a visible container. We’re not allowed to have any other drinks in class like tea, soda, juice, energy drinks, etc. I understand though. I heard about some kids have been caught drinking under the influence or even worse, containing drugged substances.
@@southcoastinventors6583 If it’s any drink besides water (in class btw, you can drink anything else during lunch period), the teacher will warn you and tell you to put it away or throw it out. If they tell you multiple times when it becomes a problem, you’d probably get detention.

@@megimargareth4015 he never said that you had to be 18 so that goes for all ages and to me it's insane how you expel a student for rightfully owning a driver's license
@@7HatimF16 because its very illegal in japan to own a driver licence if youre not 18, and thats the basic rules there wherever he said it or not Thus makes them actually like owning an illegal stuff, unless theyre really 18 y.o. also its not normal at japan to drive a car unless youre living in suburbs or village And even that, they usually send by their parents or at max, a 50cc moped/scooter Heck even in my country, my school only allowed we students to bring motorcycle if were proven had own a driving licence, and it must be signed by our parents as approval thats i really own the licence
After watching this video, I also want to tell something about Vietnamese high schooler that are similar to Japanese or American high schooler so everyone can have a better view about Vietnam: - Dying your hair: same with Japanese high school. You dye your hair -> force to go back to black hair or your natural hair color - Part-time jobs: I'm not sure about this cuz this is just my pov of my story in the past, but I think that most companies in Vietnam won't take high schooler for a part-time job due to them not being 18. So I think that even if teachers do find out about it, they may just only say something like: "as long as you focus on your studying, it is completely fine for you to have a part-time job" - Driver's license: I haven't seen a high schooler drove a car to school yet, but apparently, if you turn 18 even if you still in high school, you can get yourself a driver's license and drive a car to school lol. - Drink something: same with American high school, you can drink in class with no issues. But there will be some teachers whom you will need to ask for their permission in order to drink something. That's all for now.
I remember watching Assassination Classroom and was so confused when one of the kids were threatened by having their part time job exposed to the school. crazy
It actually a better system than our schools for most things except the car, job, and certain amount of the curriculum but most of the rules are superior to the basically few enforced rules that exist now.
You are awesome, Sora-Kun! Thanks for leaving the green text up longer - it was perfect, except for the last one where the video ended abruptly. Keep up the awesome work!! 🎉❤
"I'm breathing!" "I'm telling the teacher" (In most Japanese high schools, breathing is prohibited, and the student will be expelled or asked not to come back until they stop breathing)
Well, i think that's because Japan is such a small country and if students could go to school by car it would have a traffic jam, there would not be parking lot for too many cars!
Toy car is a term used to mock someone when they didn't get a huge SUV , but rather a compact 2 seat car or something along these lines. Even a 'normal' car is not good enough for some people, that have gone competitive. If you aren't driving a tank sized car, then obviously you are driving a toy one.
The part-time thing is unfortunately true. It pisses me off when something that has nothing to do with education actually has an effect on whether you can do something or not, like get a job. Kids should be allowed to get a part time-job. Kind of think of it, I would be expelled for working in my mother's take-away shop if we were in Japan. We saved money by not hiring anyone else. And people wonder why families have so much financial stress.
Jobs are a massive distraction from education. It's completely justified to not allow them so that students have the time and energy to focus on their studies.
@@TheFinalChaptersI'm aware of that reasoning, but it still doesn't detract from the fact that it adds to financial stress. Even worse when all the kid wants to do is run the family business after graduating from school. It's just plain unnecessary.
In US, military is military. In Japan, schools, workplaces and military are military. (I know it is grammatically wrong, but it is the best I could do)
We mostly have black hairs too because it's our natural color but I think it's not allowed for us to dye our hair in our school too! Not just in Japan or America!
It took me the whole video + the comment section to realize you have backgrounds now. Such a small detail but it adds so much to the video without even noticing it lol
1:35 It blows my mind that Japanese students aren't allowed to have part-time jobs. I already knew this, I mean my sensei already taught my class thic but like damn! In Australia even we are allowed to have part-time jobs.
In india, in my region, we don’t have full freedom like in America but we still are allowed to do some things, like drinking water during class is totally fine, slightly dyeing the hair is fine,driving a car is fine as long as you don’t create problems in parking, working part time in high school (not normally observed but allowed) etc. Man no wonder everyone here loves their school life days so much :D
Great video. The part-time work thing is correct. Driving is more regional, for example in big east coast cities many high schoolers don’t need to drive. A parent buying a teen a car depends on socioeconomic status. I never heard the toy car thing before though. And also never experienced people drinking anything in class during high school.
I'm actually really curious now about why high school kids aren't allowed part time jobs or a license/driving themselves to school? How or why would the school even care or how would they have any authority to put a stop to that??
This might be a theory, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it might be because students get bullied for being different like the saying that goes "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.", or I might be wrong who knows.
Part time jobs aren't allowed because it can distract students from studying. And driving is only allowed by law from the age of 18, as it is in many other countries around the world. The only reason you can drive your car at 16 in the US is because you often have no other choice but to go to school by car. But in Japan there's other options so you don't need a car at all.
@@thisismycoolnickname American infrastructure is really awful since our entire system of urban planning assumes people have cars. I have no idea where the nearest train station is for me, and I've only taken it once to go a full state away. There are no subways in my state.
Having a car is the just the 1st step. You need that part time job to make your car look cool also... I had neither, i was not cool back then. Not now either, i was never cool 🤔😵💫
In college (early 2000s), my Asian friends did not get a driver’s license until they came to the USA. They said the public transportation in Japan was so good there was no point. Ironically, one of their fathers was the CEO of a major Japanese car company. I'm not sure how she ended up at my college, it's an OK school, but it's not Harvard.
In high school in 1993, I had a job working 20 hours a week and had my own car. In my state, we also have to pay for car insurance, too, even if there is no loan on the car. This is very normal in the US even today LOL
In all the schools ive been to, weve been allowed to have drinks in our class, but if you want a clear answer? It honestly depends on the teacher and school, and maybe even what state you're in. You could go to one school where its really strict and no drinks are allowed in class, but you might have that one teacher that will allow it, or, you might go to a school where no one cares about having a drink, but a couple of teachers mught not want you to have one in *their* classroom.
Why is Japan so mean to highschoolers? can’t even drive a car without getting expelled 😭 how does that even effect the school at all? It feels like going to work and your boss fired you for not doing your homework
From US high school (now about 15 years removed) experiences 1 - Dying hair was fine, but was rarely done 2 - Part time jobs were somewhat rare, maybe 20% of students in last couple years of school. Usually it was something along the lines of 20 hours a week tops (I did 4-9 at a pizza place four days a week) 3 - Most people got a drivers license, there was actually a class to get a learner's permit that was half of a semester long. Getting one early is a very American thing. If you dont have one by end of high school its viewed as extremely odd. 4 - Very few people had cars, probably under 10% at my school, but it was not a high income school so most of it was people buying a cheap old car that was in a constant state of disrepair. This one does tend to vary by school to school though, with very affluent schools having a much higher percent of people being gifted cars by parents. Most people were driven to school though due to bad public transit and having someone walk 90 minutes each way really just is a pain. Granted I work now... but it takes me about 15 minutes to drive to the office, if I took public transportation it would be over four times as long to get there. 5 - Anything in bottles was allowed in class. Cans were not.
Ngl i already knew kids weren't allowed to work part time, (obviously dumb) but the fact they can't even as much as get a licence is fucked bro. Like these schools control these kids more than their parents ever could
Driving a toy car? No, I don't think I've heard that one, though I'm sure the sentiment is felt by many pickup truck owners. Also, Japanese high school sure seems like they have a lot of power over your life even when you're not there. Americans hate feeling controlled. We ate in class and went to school in our pajamas whenever we felt like it. Also, wearing hats in class and chewing gum was totally fine as long as you weren't obnoxious with it.
Im an American and definitely had a part time job in high school. I worked for the city planning department and processed land use and zoning permit applications at 16. It was 3 hours after school Monday to Friday my junior year (11th grade). I actually got credit for having the job and as a result was able to graduate high school at end of 11th grade but took 2 classes the next year because I was selected as editor of the literary magazine and wanted to take a gym class only for seniors that was actually just goofing off with friends at a golf course, archery range, etc. We had a weird 3 classes a day Monday-Thursday and six on on Friday schedule so only attended class one semester every other day. Got my associates degree by the end of summer after graduation, bachelor degree 18mon later, a law degree in 3 and phd in 2more. I really enjoyed school. My nephew just graduated and the announcement literally said, "all I know is that college is for nerds."
I'm chilean and this video taught me that even though we're further away we have more in common with Japan than with the US lol Teens don't usually work part-time, if you dye your hair you could get expelled, and you need to be 18 to drive.
The only reason minors can drive in the US is because they have the shittiest public transports in the world, while in most European and Asian countries it's mostly rural areas which are car dependent and cities have public transports, in the US every place is car dependent except for some exceptions like New York City. Even big cities don't have good enough bus services to convince people to move away from cars.
Japanese schools are sure intrusive about things that should be none of their business. Especially getting a driver's license. Wtf is their problem with that? Can you not get a scuba license or pilot license or license to go fishing? Also the horrible stories of schools brutally harassing students whose natural hair color is not black.

Also Japan: has the most ridiculous rules you can imagine. 🤣
I prefer to say most asian rules you can encounter, lol
All those rules are the same as my school in SEA, lol
ikr! like why cant i piss on homeless people in japan??? do it all the time in my home country!!
@@kimifw58 where do you live if you dont have newspapers and arcades??? north sentinel island???
Getting expelled for having a driver's license is wild to me. Goddamn
Since in japan, minimun to get driving lisence is 18 years old, unless youre that old when in highschool, it means you own that licence illegaly, lol
@@megimargareth4015 he never said that you had to be 18 so that goes for all ages and to me it's insane how you expel a student for rightfully owning a driver's license
@@7HatimF16 because its very illegal in japan to own a driver licence if youre not 18, and thats the basic rules there wherever he said it or not
Thus makes them actually like owning an illegal stuff, unless theyre really 18 y.o.
also its not normal at japan to drive a car unless youre living in suburbs or village
And even that, they usually send by their parents or at max, a 50cc moped/scooter
Heck even in my country, my school only allowed we students to bring motorcycle if were proven had own a driving licence, and it must be signed by our parents as approval thats i really own the licence
DIdn't that one guy help his father deliver tofu well before he's 18?
Still amazes me to hear about how much power Japanese high schools have over their students.
0:35 Note how he says "back to black".
This implies that even if their natural hair color isn't black, they still must have black.
I went to a catholic school for a few years and it was stricter than the japanese schools in this video lol
This is an extremely thoughtful, complimentary and entertaining comment. 💌
"I'm telling the teacher/your parents"
Works every time!
SOMEONE ACTUALLY QUIT SCHOOL BECAUSE THE TEACHERS WERE CRINGE??? 😭😭😭
NO WAY????
Why would you take someone's explanation as an actual reason though? Perhaps you believe people too easily.
"Yes"
Was Sora their teacher?
@@Sindraug25 probably
why are these videos so entertaining?
After watching this video, I also want to tell something about Vietnamese high schooler that are similar to Japanese or American high schooler so everyone can have a better view about Vietnam:
- Dying your hair: same with Japanese high school. You dye your hair -> force to go back to black hair or your natural hair color
- Part-time jobs: I'm not sure about this cuz this is just my pov of my story in the past, but I think that most companies in Vietnam won't take high schooler for a part-time job due to them not being 18. So I think that even if teachers do find out about it, they may just only say something like: "as long as you focus on your studying, it is completely fine for you to have a part-time job"
- Driver's license: I haven't seen a high schooler drove a car to school yet, but apparently, if you turn 18 even if you still in high school, you can get yourself a driver's license and drive a car to school lol.
- Drink something: same with American high school, you can drink in class with no issues. But there will be some teachers whom you will need to ask for their permission in order to drink something.
That's all for now.
I remember watching Assassination Classroom and was so confused when one of the kids were threatened by having their part time job exposed to the school. crazy
It's crazy how strict everything is over there lol
It actually a better system than our schools for most things except the car, job, and certain amount of the curriculum but most of the rules are superior to the basically few enforced rules that exist now.
@@southcoastinventors6583 So...better about some things and worse about others? Just different, in other words.
@@MSte21 Better outcomes are also different than worse outcomes so both points are true.

“Japanese high schoolers shouldn’t work part-time or drive cars”
Takumi Fujiwara: *Nervous sweating*
🌸😹I was sincerely surprised by how much Japanese students are not allowed to do, and what we outside Japan take for granted.😹🌸
Bruh, at my high school, if you even had a drink visible in class you'd be getting in trouble.
Even water ?
You are awesome, Sora-Kun! Thanks for leaving the green text up longer - it was perfect, except for the last one where the video ended abruptly. Keep up the awesome work!! 🎉❤
"I'm breathing!"
"I'm telling the teacher"
(In most Japanese high schools, breathing is prohibited, and the student will be expelled or asked not to come back until they stop breathing)
Well, i think that's because Japan is such a small country and if students could go to school by car it would have a traffic jam, there would not be parking lot for too many cars!
Toy car is a term used to mock someone when they didn't get a huge SUV , but rather a compact 2 seat car or something along these lines. Even a 'normal' car is not good enough for some people, that have gone competitive. If you aren't driving a tank sized car, then obviously you are driving a toy one.
Whoa thats crazy intense. I wonder if they make exceptions for poor students who need to work to help their parents with rent
Probably not
The part-time thing is unfortunately true. It pisses me off when something that has nothing to do with education actually has an effect on whether you can do something or not, like get a job. Kids should be allowed to get a part time-job. Kind of think of it, I would be expelled for working in my mother's take-away shop if we were in Japan. We saved money by not hiring anyone else. And people wonder why families have so much financial stress.
Jobs are a massive distraction from education. It's completely justified to not allow them so that students have the time and energy to focus on their studies.
@@TheFinalChaptersI'm aware of that reasoning, but it still doesn't detract from the fact that it adds to financial stress. Even worse when all the kid wants to do is run the family business after graduating from school. It's just plain unnecessary.
@@qwmx Helping with the family business is very different from just working a part time job somewhere.
In US, military is military.
In Japan, schools, workplaces and military are military.
(I know it is grammatically wrong, but it is the best I could do)
1:08 -So you work at McDo...
-No?
hahahahaha when you can't lie but can't admit it
I love the cold and dead "Sumima sen deshta"
(Apologies if I spelled that incorrectly, I don't speak Japanese so I have no clue where the spaces go)
For drinking in class they usually didn't like it if it was an open container since you could spill. If it had a lid it was fine.
Your sense of humor has made me an instant fan. Genuinely really funny content.
We mostly have black hairs too because it's our natural color but I think it's not allowed for us to dye our hair in our school too! Not just in Japan or America!
3:21 highlight of the video
It took me the whole video + the comment section to realize you have backgrounds now. Such a small detail but it adds so much to the video without even noticing it lol
1:35 It blows my mind that Japanese students aren't allowed to have part-time jobs. I already knew this, I mean my sensei already taught my class thic but like damn! In Australia even we are allowed to have part-time jobs.
The seriousness of "sumimasen deshita". LOL
Student: does something woth its free time
School: expell and cast him outside society
In india, in my region, we don’t have full freedom like in America but we still are allowed to do some things, like drinking water during class is totally fine, slightly dyeing the hair is fine,driving a car is fine as long as you don’t create problems in parking, working part time in high school (not normally observed but allowed) etc. Man no wonder everyone here loves their school life days so much :D
Great video. The part-time work thing is correct. Driving is more regional, for example in big east coast cities many high schoolers don’t need to drive. A parent buying a teen a car depends on socioeconomic status. I never heard the toy car thing before though. And also never experienced people drinking anything in class during high school.
先生にいちゃおう。
In English sub it sounded like a toddler talking to each other for me. IDK why
I'm actually really curious now about why high school kids aren't allowed part time jobs or a license/driving themselves to school? How or why would the school even care or how would they have any authority to put a stop to that??
This might be a theory, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it might be because students get bullied for being different like the saying that goes "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.", or I might be wrong who knows.
Part time jobs aren't allowed because it can distract students from studying. And driving is only allowed by law from the age of 18, as it is in many other countries around the world. The only reason you can drive your car at 16 in the US is because you often have no other choice but to go to school by car. But in Japan there's other options so you don't need a car at all.
I learned the part time job thing from anime (hah weeb) but I thought the teacher was just being a dick (Yu Yu Hakusho)
@@thisismycoolnickname American infrastructure is really awful since our entire system of urban planning assumes people have cars. I have no idea where the nearest train station is for me, and I've only taken it once to go a full state away. There are no subways in my state.
@@lyubit9841 my state actually tore out the train tracks...

Im disappointed in the lack of toy car jokes in America now 😢
Having a car is the just the 1st step. You need that part time job to make your car look cool also...
I had neither, i was not cool back then. Not now either, i was never cool 🤔😵💫
Hi sora san it's my birthday today,I thank u for your content 💪😁👍
Happy Birthday, Bruce!! Wishing you the best birthday and an awesome year. Hope you are well. 🎈🎉🎊✨
Quitting the school because cringy teacher.
Me : staring at Sora Sensei.
I like how you manage to fit 3 types of "High Schooler" in just 2 comparisons (as in: Japanese, American AND Anime High Schoolers) 🤣
you can see the fact that sora know how American students conversation it's just prove he is American
Solid acting from Sora for the Japanese parts!
Sora's haircolor is different he clearly wants to be an anime character
I truly love these videos.
Sora and his content keep my passion for visiting Japan alive, if only I could learn Japanese faster 😤🙏ありがとうございます先輩！
In college (early 2000s), my Asian friends did not get a driver’s license until they came to the USA. They said the public transportation in Japan was so good there was no point.
Ironically, one of their fathers was the CEO of a major Japanese car company. I'm not sure how she ended up at my college, it's an OK school, but it's not Harvard.
Each time the すみませんでした hits so hardly
In high school in 1993, I had a job working 20 hours a week and had my own car. In my state, we also have to pay for car insurance, too, even if there is no loan on the car. This is very normal in the US even today LOL
The bit about the toy car reminded me of how when I was six, I asked my friend how his dad drove a toy yoda.
"The teachers are cringe so I'm quitting school"
Holy fucking based
I look forward to the day when Sora sensei calls my mom for drinking in class
I love how sora quit school. what a madlad
Everytime, the sudden "Sumimasen deshita" cracks me up so hard
3:34 Damn, even russian schools don't have rules like that.
The guy you knew who dropped out of school after saying "teachers are cringe" was mega based.
"I'm telling the teacher."
"I'm sorry." Every time
One weird thing about schools in Japan and particularly mine, is that females are only allowed to have white underwear only, no colored ones.
In all the schools ive been to, weve been allowed to have drinks in our class, but if you want a clear answer? It honestly depends on the teacher and school, and maybe even what state you're in.
You could go to one school where its really strict and no drinks are allowed in class, but you might have that one teacher that will allow it, or, you might go to a school where no one cares about having a drink, but a couple of teachers mught not want you to have one in *their* classroom.
The truth is: We're not afraid of schools expelling us. We're afraid of...
MOM
for me its Dad😂
The teacher was so cringe that I skipped his class.
Why is Japan so mean to highschoolers? can’t even drive a car without getting expelled 😭 how does that even effect the school at all? It feels like going to work and your boss fired you for not doing your homework
it seems the only perk of being japanese is you get to learn japanese as default language
This guy always made the best skits for hs
*Japanese students exhale wrong
School: expelled
From US high school (now about 15 years removed) experiences
1 - Dying hair was fine, but was rarely done
2 - Part time jobs were somewhat rare, maybe 20% of students in last couple years of school. Usually it was something along the lines of 20 hours a week tops (I did 4-9 at a pizza place four days a week)
3 - Most people got a drivers license, there was actually a class to get a learner's permit that was half of a semester long. Getting one early is a very American thing. If you dont have one by end of high school its viewed as extremely odd.
4 - Very few people had cars, probably under 10% at my school, but it was not a high income school so most of it was people buying a cheap old car that was in a constant state of disrepair. This one does tend to vary by school to school though, with very affluent schools having a much higher percent of people being gifted cars by parents. Most people were driven to school though due to bad public transit and having someone walk 90 minutes each way really just is a pain. Granted I work now... but it takes me about 15 minutes to drive to the office, if I took public transportation it would be over four times as long to get there.
5 - Anything in bottles was allowed in class. Cans were not.
Ngl i already knew kids weren't allowed to work part time, (obviously dumb) but the fact they can't even as much as get a licence is fucked bro. Like these schools control these kids more than their parents ever could
Here in South America you can have a part time job if you are 15+ with a written consent of your parents and a driver's license if you are 17+ :D 🌸✨️
Driving a toy car? No, I don't think I've heard that one, though I'm sure the sentiment is felt by many pickup truck owners. Also, Japanese high school sure seems like they have a lot of power over your life even when you're not there. Americans hate feeling controlled. We ate in class and went to school in our pajamas whenever we felt like it. Also, wearing hats in class and chewing gum was totally fine as long as you weren't obnoxious with it.
omgggg backgrounds
Im an American and definitely had a part time job in high school. I worked for the city planning department and processed land use and zoning permit applications at 16. It was 3 hours after school Monday to Friday my junior year (11th grade). I actually got credit for having the job and as a result was able to graduate high school at end of 11th grade but took 2 classes the next year because I was selected as editor of the literary magazine and wanted to take a gym class only for seniors that was actually just goofing off with friends at a golf course, archery range, etc. We had a weird 3 classes a day Monday-Thursday and six on on Friday schedule so only attended class one semester every other day. Got my associates degree by the end of summer after graduation, bachelor degree 18mon later, a law degree in 3 and phd in 2more. I really enjoyed school. My nephew just graduated and the announcement literally said, "all I know is that college is for nerds."
Japanese high school sounds soooo much like an Indian high school with all its prohibitions..lol
Most jokes I hear about people getting their license is not getting on the road when they’re driving. I will now have the toy car joke in my Arsenal
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
I'm chilean and this video taught me that even though we're further away we have more in common with Japan than with the US lol
Teens don't usually work part-time, if you dye your hair you could get expelled, and you need to be 18 to drive.
The only reason minors can drive in the US is because they have the shittiest public transports in the world, while in most European and Asian countries it's mostly rural areas which are car dependent and cities have public transports, in the US every place is car dependent except for some exceptions like New York City. Even big cities don't have good enough bus services to convince people to move away from cars.
3:03 i dont speak English 😂😂😂
I was waiting for the second answer to be “I don’t speak Japanese” 😂
Wait, I thought you had to be 20 to have a driver's license in Japan. At least that's what I was told in the 1990s.
Maybe that's why it is prohibited. But in that case it should be handled by the police, not by the school.
Yeah, the Teachers probably done some math and went, 'Wait, that's illegal'
18
Japanese schools are sure intrusive about things that should be none of their business. Especially getting a driver's license. Wtf is their problem with that? Can you not get a scuba license or pilot license or license to go fishing? Also the horrible stories of schools brutally harassing students whose natural hair color is not black.
I agree getting expelled for legally owning a driver's license is insane wtf does it have to do with school?
