Question

I got some questions

1. do all the school wear uniform?
2. If girl did wear skirt as uniform wouldnt it be cold for them in the winter?
3. I heard that the classroom go like 2-B 2-C and that the teacher move around not the students.
4. each class (2-B, 2-C) has a student leader also that when festival start each class design their class I.E. tea house, cafe and etc.
5. do they really go on a field trip to different city like Kyoto?

Answer 1

1. Most do but not all.



2. Yes. Some school uniforms include pants as an option. Otherwise girls wear tights in winter to keep warm. In some schools (especially in all-girls school where the girls don't have to worry too much how they look), they even wear gym bottom (like sweat pants) under their skirt.



3. That's true.



4. Yes.



5. Yes, but each student only takes this sort of trip once during their 3-year school life. Some schools even go overseas. Shorter (like a one-day bus trip) may be organized like once a year.

Answer 2

Your question did not specify preschool, elementary school, junior high, or high school.



1. Almost no preschools have uniforms. Most elementary schools don't have uniforms, a small percentage do. Most junior high and high schools have uniforms, a small percentage don't.



2. Yeah, for the schools that do have uniforms, it gets cold, there are usually provisions for that (such as allowing long stockings, jersey pants, etc)



3. Usually, yes. Not always, though. For subjects like PE, home ec, art, and science, the students often go to a different room. And the numbering doesn't always go 1A, 1B, etc; sometimes it's 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, like that.



In some schools the class actually gets a name, like the name of a fruit or flower (it's not real common, but it happens in preschool and elementary schools sometimes).



4. Depends on the school. Some schools have different committees for different things, and the committee member that's specifically for the lifestyle events like the school festival would handle that. Most preschools, elementary schools and junior high schools don't have that kind of school festival, though.



5. Usually, yes, and the students (or their parents) pay a little each month, even for public schools, to fund the trip. They often have a scholarship fund for kids who can't afford it, too. (Preschools don't have these school trips, but elementary schools on up usually do.)

Answer 3

I think all the school has their school uniform. But since one person gave his thumb down on my answer, there may be totally free-fashion schools.



The school that has uniform but allows casual clothes to wear for daily lives let their students wear anything but with much restriction, like the color of their hair or the kind of accessaries they wear.



The girls are cold in the winter, of course, wearing their upper-the-knee skirts for their school as uniform. Some of them wear their school jersey under their skirts to show it as some sort of design, also to avoid extreme coldness. You can see them in the snow-falling city in Hokkaido. Others just try to endure in the cold, as they don't think it is cool with long, down-the-knee skirts.
