They are much more academically oriented like the odds of Japanese people getting jobs without any academic credits are alot slimmer then america. It is almost guaranteed that you wont have much of a job there if you don't. Plus there boards of whatever have poles on how american have larger increase in areas like sports and encouraging mental 'creativity' but Japanese schools have a upper hand in math and more of a book smart kind of knowledge. Plus rules and how things are run but that's a whole other story.

They go to school for longer hours.Some go six days a week.Many Japanese kids go a a 'cram school' after school. If you don't do well in high school, you won't get into the college of your choice. And that means you won't get the well paying job you need to live well.

Lots of kids in America belong to gangs and carry guns. There are frequent fights and lots of people get killed every year. Most American kids are scared of being killed at school. Japan is a lot better. Be happy if you live in Japan.
