There you go nate1984.... Now I wonder if those hours also include cram school, or night school in japan which is completely private and probably not tallied or factored in those numbers which many Japanese attend.
Another benefit of keeping kids in school longer is not also learning, but keeping them out of trouble.

What about home room? We see it from time to time, but how many of us have had it? I'm sure that adds a large amount as well.

For me homeroom was my 2nd period in my school lol.

Then there must be a shitload of problems because I never had home room yet my country ranks close to the USA in terms of hours and days.

About the first 20mins of my 2nd period is used up for homeroom. We only have homeroom when there are paperwork or they need to discuss with us about something. Ain't all that great lol.

Maybe that's why the ranking is skewed. For us, homeroom was only 3-4 classes at the beginning of the semester for maybe 30 minutes to an hour to sort out issues. After that we never have it again. So basically, we don't have enough of it to be worth mentioning.

My homeroom in Ohio was 45 mins a day, 1st period and basically a second study hall. Most of us finished up, or did our homework that was required the day before during that time.
