The Students are encouraged to run their own lives a great deal.<br/><br/>Just for the record I've been playing in a Japanese high school game on another site for over a year with about 20 people. So if you want to know anything about the Japanese school system, I think I know it by now ;) As I said above it's a pet subject of mine.<br/><br/>That other game has a very nice typical high school plan we use, plus a class seating layout plus a timetable on the Japanese model, plus after school clubs. I'll ask the guy who wrote it all out and who is the GM if we can borrow any of it. ;)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Ah, there's also 6 days of school in Japan, although some of them only take half a Saturday, instead of a full one.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Up until the 1990s it used to be five days plus alternating Saturdays, so 11 in every 14, but these days due to some backlash against the overpowering school system it is more often than not only 5 days a week now.
