Difference Between Asian And American Public Schools

Asian and American people are actually different in multiple aspects, such as cultures, foods, and fashion style. Asian public schools and American public schools are also different. However, the difference between Asian public school and American public schools express clearly through five things, the school rules, school classes, the school lunchtime, the school pressure, personal morality in school.
The first difference is the school's rules. Most American public schools allow students to dye their hair, wear anything they want, as long as it is not sexy or offending others. Also, they allow the male students to wear earrings and have long hair. Conversely, Asian public schools require students wearing the school uniform with shoes. Male students must have short hair and do not allow to wear earrings. Female students cannot wear more than one ear-rings each ear. Students are not allowed to dye their hair. For example, in Vietnam, Japan, South Korean, China and other Asian countries, every public school have their own uniform, and the students must wear the uniform of the school that they attended. For another
example, some of my male classmates have long hair, some of them wear earrings and some of my female classmates have dyed hair. Consequently, the school supervisor calls their family to criticize their acts, and they must go to the office to write an explanatory report. In the worst case, if students violate over three times, they will be ejected by the school principal. In American and Asian public school, students should attend school on time. In American, students can attend school even if they are late. Though, in Asian, students will not be allowed to enter school when they arrive late for class. For an example, I watched some Japanese movie about school, I noticed students cannot enter school later because the school gate closed. If they want to enter school, they must climb the wall.
The second difference is the class system. There are three the difference in the class system. Firstly, American public schools adjust students' classes based on their exam scores. In contrast, Asian public schools set up students' classes based on their grade levels. For example, I should take Algebra II when I was 8th grade. My knowledge is not satisfied to study Algebra II class, so my counselor will move me to Algebra I. However, in Vietnam public school if I should take Algebra II when I am in 8th grade. Even if Algebra II is difficult for me, I still attend Algebra II class. Secondly, Asian students usually come home or join school clubs after school, as well as American students. Nonetheless, there is a slight difference as Asian students must attend some supplemental classes after school if their teachers require it. Moreover, Asian students must attend extra courses at another school if their parents require. For instance, I was not good in my math class, while I was studying in Vietnam, so my Math teacher required that I attend her supplemental class after school. Thirdly, in America, students do not need to take Civic Education class. While, in Asian, the Civics Education class is the necessary class. For example, in public schools in Vietnam, they have Civic Education class and every student must study it from 6th grade to 12th grade.
The third difference is lunchtime in school. American public schools usually sell hamburgers, pizzas, tacos, French fries, and fast-food in the cafeteria. Also, American public schools allow students going to the convenience stores or restaurant nearby school to buy lunch. For instance, my high school, Irvington High school, and Independent High school allow students to go outside to buy lunch at lunchtime. Contrariwise, Asian public schools sell rice, noddle, bread or soup at lunchtime. If students do not like the school food, they prepare their own lunch at home. For illustration, Japanese students often prepare their own lunch box at home. School's cafeterias ordinarily sell rice bowls, noodle bowls, curry, and bread. In case, students try to sneak out of school to buy food during lunch time will be considered as skipping classes. For instance, when I was attending in Vietnam public school, I saw some of my schoolmates try to sneak out school to buy food at lunchtime and unluckily, they were arrested by the supervisor and detained after school.
The fourth difference is the pressure of the school.
American public schools do not have numerous rules like Asian public schools. That reason causes Asian students are more pressure than American students. According to "Tackling the deadliest day for Japanese teenagers" of BBC News. Masa who was a high school student said "My school uniform felt so heavy as if I was in armor, I couldn't bear the school's ambiance and my heart was pounding. I thought about killing myself because that would have been easier". For an example, when I was in public high school in Vietnam, I attended six to seven classes a day. There were many lectures and much homework. I studied too much that I hated school and I did not want to go to school anymore. Still, I only attended three to four classes a day when I was in high school here, so I felt comfortable and less
pressure.
The fifth difference is the personal moral. Asian public schools require their students must have a good morality. The American public schools' transcripts just report about student's grade. Yet, the Asian public schools' transcripts do not only report about student grades, but it includes the evaluation of student's morality. Give an example, in Asian countries, students have high scores in every class, but their personal morality is not good, then they will have difficulty in applying to transfer to another school.
In conclusion, rules, classes system, lunchtime, and pressure create the difference between the public schools in Asian and the public schools in American. Due to these differences, Asian public schools often attract American students and American public schools attract Asian students because they want to experience the new school life.
