basic japanese high school schedule for you, fic writers

• students attend class from monday thru saturday, with saturday being a half day. sundays are off
  
• the high school day usually runs from 8:30am to 3pm, but many students stay after for after school clubs or attend cram school in the evening
• the school year runs from april to march with a summer break come the end of july. first term is from april to july, second term is from september to december, and third term runs from january to march
• your favorite high school anime doesn’t have separate classrooms for no reason. japanese students don’t rotate classes like american students do; instead, they have a fixed classroom and class number (i.e., 3-A), and the teachers do the rotating
  
• they also don’t have the same classes every day
  
• they do still have homeroom teachers; however, “homeroom” is more of a class meeting at the end of the day rather than at the beginning
• the students are required to help clean the school at the end of the school day before clubs start
• school uniforms are a thing for high schoolers. dress code used to be much stricter but recently they’ve allowed more basic alterations to the uniform
  
• please stop writing them like american schools you’re embarrassing yourself
