Japanese students operate on a modified year-round school
schedule and the school days are much longer than those of the
U.S. In addition, more than half of the students of middle
school age also attend private tutoring classes five and six nights

school is common. Japanese students have little time for sports
activities of any kind, and the structures between the two
countries are very different. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
