My 3nensei are doing a writing assignment in which they introduce their school (talking about club activities, what subjects they study, etc.). One of the (I thought) easiest questions is “What time does your school begin and end every day?” However, it is sad because NO ONE knows the answer! Everyone has a different time written down! It officially starts at 8:30, as that is when they have their morning meeting, followed by cleaning. However, the first class starts at 9:00, so some people put that. On the other hand, a lot of kids have to be at school FAR too early for club activities (who wants to play baseball at 7 in the morning?!).
Even I don’t know what time school ends! The last class ends at 3:40, but then they have the afternoon meeting that can last a little while, then they have club activities again until 6:30 (after which many kids go to juku (cram school) to study even more….poor kids). So, not only does everyone have a different answer to the question, but some people have sentences like “School begins at 7:00 and ends at 6:30.” Um, that is not natural! Flee, kids, FLEE!
