I read, and maybe common believe, that Japanese student take extreme care in their academic achievement. Quite the same as many Asian countries (again,a common believe) like S Korea, Singapore, China that parents extremely nervous for their children academic result.

Compare to western system, the parent looks more 'enlightened' and take school as educational system in more a lifeskill achievement. this mentally affect that the school overthere become more relax etc.

Japan is now very succesful country, so, is this very much result of this mentallity or,.. not related. Do exam result really big thing in Japan? In South Korea I read the goverment even dictate the aeroplane flying schedule so the noise does not disturb the exam season, quite fantastic to me.

The question is a bit blur, but just see what is your comments on Japanese school mentality.
