Why? Do they get out earlier in the long run? Are they smarter because of this?

Well, I'm not that sure if it would be considered year round schooling (I'm actually not that sure what would be considered year round schooling to be honest.). Anyways, school is usually Monday-Friday. Also, on Saturdays, students attend half a day about two or three times a month. School begins in April (around the 1st). Summer vacation is from late July to the end of August. Winter vacation is from late December to early January while spring vacation is in March. They both last about 10 days each. School ends around March 31st of the next year. In other words, the don't get a break between each grade. Students in Japan are, I guess you could say, pressured into working harder for school. Most high schools (from what I know) make it where you do have to take exams to get into them. Japanese students also tend to have to learn more than the typical American student right off. While we're learning our ABCs, they're having to learn things like Kanji and Katakana along with Romaji. They learn all the different characters throughout the first few years of school. At least, I believe that would be right. I'm not completely sure thought due to not looking these things up for awhile. Oh, I guess I should mention that Japanese students graduate at the same age a typical American student would (from what I know anyways). Well, I hope that could at least help a little.
