You’re suggesting I do what I am currently doing, and answering your own trepidations as you type them. I don’t think going outside will help answer those questions anyway because I’m afraid I’ll have to admit that getting to Japan and asking someone there is slightly outside of my power as of now. Bro, go outside and see the world(or you could use internet & stay inside). No way you really think all countries have the same education system. I wondered how they all managed to always have the same class because surely there’s too many subjects for everyone study? Do Japanese schools only teach a handful of broad subjects that everyone does? Does anime just simplify the reality of the fact? Are the year groups not split by ability in each subject so there can be a faster learning class and one that will need more time? These are the questions I am currently getting answered. The reason I decided to make a thread online rather than read about it after googling it, is because it might be nice from people all over the world to discuss how they’re education systems worked and I could learn about many as opposed to just one. Now that's a good questions bro, you should put it on the first post instead of forcing "Don’t people take different subjects from each other and aren’t they sorted into different sets based on abilities?" Back in my highschool, there are two majors that we'll choose in the 2nd year, social science & natural science, you'll be grouped by the same classmate who choose the same major as you for at least 1 year, and then you'll study the same subjects for the major you choose. IIRC, oregairu also has the same education system as this. |
| im pretty sure it's normal like this?? in quite a few countries at least, and i know it is in asia. i only move "classrooms" when its pe, science/chem and I.T lol unless the teacher wants to hold the class elsewhere like the library, near the canteen etc but thats rare |
| Cause it doesnt matter |

| I'm from Indonesia, South East Asia. Our school system is kind of similar to Japan. I went to a public high school, so it should work as a common example. In my school, the 1st years learn the same subjects. We would move to another classroom for specific subjects, but in the end, all classes (6 in my school) take the same exact subjects. However, it becomes different in the 2nd year. Each student decide the type of class they want. Most schools only have 2 types: natural science & social science class while some schools have an additional language class. But a student can't choose specifically what they want or not want to learn. So even though each class type learn different things, the students still can choose specific subjects. I don't know how similar this is exactly to Japan, but I hope it gave you some insight. By the way, I went to high school almost 12 years ago, so I don't know how much have changed since I graduated in 2013. |

| Basically, both of them are studying in the same course and in the same classroom. Therefore, they will study the same subject. That's how the Japanese school system works. FreshSalmon827 said: What if you study, say computer science, but a classmate of yours doesn’t and instead does politics? What if your particularly good at maths but not so good at English. You’d just hold back your classmates. Do you all just study in one room with one teacher? You can use Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai as an example. Fumino is a genius in literature and arts but bad at math, and Rizu is a genius at math and bad at literature and arts. Both of them are studying in the same classroom and the same subjects. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I'm not going to say anything new but that is also the usual in South America. I suppose that the system is different on places where there are more resources to allocate so you can get better specialization, I had just some classes that I could select but it was like select group A of classes or select group B of classes instead of individual stuff like in college |
FreshSalmon827 said: In my middle school it was quite similar. We had one classroom and then numerous teachers will come teach at their own fixed times. People in the same grade were grouped in group A, B, C and there were separate classrooms for each of those groupsIt just dawned on me whilst watching this that in anime in general they only ever have one class with which all there subjects are taught. Don’t people take different subjects from each other and aren’t they sorted into different sets based on abilities? |

| cause it's an asian school we dont change classrooms |
| In my case, we also didn't usually change classes, except like P.E. or I.T. or some other special cases, usually we were just in the class. Only in my last year, when I was 18-19, were we supposed to choose all our subjects and thus the whole class system fell apart and we were just together with people who choose the same subject. This way, staying in one class is impossible so we were visiting other classrooms. That said, I was a special outlier who choose very different subjects from more than the majority of class, so I was barely with my classmates. That said, we were mostly online because of covid, so I only experienced this for like a few weeks. So I think it's actually more common to stay in classroom but idk. |

| I'm not japanese. But I live in asian countries. My country have some similarities with japan about school. So we always stay at the same class in a year. But at the next grade we may seperate at the different class. |
| In Japan (and many Asian countries) Most schools have it as students with "their main class" And the teachers are the ones that swap rooms to teach. (however, most schools also have one teacher for multiple subjects, they call them the "main teacher") Doing so, each students are assigned a "seat" (desk) that they stay with for months before their "main teacher" (usually the first teacher of the day) decide to do a seat change. While assigned with a seat, students can pretty much put all their stuff in the desk's drawer so they don't have to carry huge backpacks around, since they won't have to constantly carry books everywhere they go. This is the main school system until students go to college/ universities, which the system then pretty much change to what we have in the US college/ universities. ___ ___ ___ Basically the Asian schools have Teachers "work" for the Students. |

FreshSalmon827 said: In England when we we're about 13-14 we start picking subjects to study. Some are mandatory like English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, PE. Then we pick a few extras like history, geography, politics, a language, computer science, psychology and just about anything really. Before then we do a couple years of everything to figure out what we like. The mandatory subjects are also split up into sets of abilities. So the highest performing students can work at a faster pace than those who might need a bit more help. Teachers also have there own rooms that we go to and buildings in the school are often separated by subjects or areas. So the science block and the humanities block and the languages building and so on. This is why I found it odd they always have the same classmates for every lesson and often seem in the same room because in England we're walking around a campus-like area between lessons and all of us are have different subjects at different times and have different teachers in various different buildings. It also strikes me as odd that every classroom in anime looks the same. There's no standard classroom in the UK and some lessons could even take place in buildings older than a lot of the countries of the people I imagine are reading this. The tables can be arranged in any way whether group like tables or desks shared between two. Its just up to the teachers discretion. Is this what its like in most countries outside the UK as well? That's kinda how it works in NL too. After like middle school equivalent i think (we call it basisschool, groep 1 t/m 8) you go to high school (middelbare school), where you're already divided based on abilities/learning skills. The "major" groups are VMBO (4 years), HAVO (5 years) and VWO (6 years, either English orientated (tweetalig), with lots of subjects being given in English or just plain dutch). Then after I think two (VMBO) or three (HAVO and VWO) years you pick which subjects you want to focus on, which some being obligated indeed. Like Dutch, English, maths and P.E. Within the classes you pick, there isn't really another dividing between "levels", no A.P. classes or anything. But VMBO, HAVO and VWO kids don't mix within class. So I guess that's the dividing already done. And yeah, teachers generally have their own rooms, and you go to their rooms. Teachers usually stay and students move. |
FreshSalmon827 said: It just dawned on me whilst watching this that in anime in general they only ever have one class with which all there subjects are taught. Don’t people take different subjects from each other and aren’t they sorted into different sets based on abilities? Yes, it absolutely can happen. Especially in middle school and lower. Its the individual teachers who move around rather than entire classes. In high school, there is a bigger variety of choices which complicate things a bit. But just the year before the varieties are included, you are supposed to fill a form laying down your finalised choice of subjects and your classes are decided based on that for the sake of convenience. Obviously, there are going to be exceptions, like computer classes being held in the computer lab, P.E. classes occurring in the playground for the purpose of practical demonstration. Sometimes, there can be different language students in the same class so they would have to split up and join with other classes for the lessons. But that's about it. I hope that cleared up things for you. |
