How different would it be going from an Australian private school to a Japanese public school?
Uniforms, co-ed room with designated seat one by one, unit period of lesson, lunch as school feeding(no optional), body exercise lesson with training uniform, no dressing room, room cleaning, no private locker, many requirements and charges. No gangs but many punks and rascals, maltreat to weakness or strangers, resistance to teacher etc.etc.
