(1) Japan: Original thoughts are wrong. Bullying and vicious gaslighting are the norm at school and work. Students learn everything by rote memorization. University is a joke, leaving people unable to function as adults. However, everyone is the same race and same culture.
(2) USA: Critical thinking is rewarded. Well-rounded education system that promotes independence and self-reliance. Black people, brown people, and trans people exist and will try to influence your child.
We have bullying in school too. I think all cultures do it.

>Black people, brown people, and trans people exist Japs would be included in this category too. Or if we're being generous, "yellow" people.
I'd pick USA, a lot of the education is bad but it can be excellent if you can afford it and if not, home schooling is an easy option.

It ends after high school though. People are bullies in college or work are seen as dickholes.
Caleb Taylor
japan obviously perfect for kids like us who need a hard hand when teached

In my experience it ends after middle school. By high school people are too busy with more important things (getting into college) and more mature so they don't really care too much about bullying. Unless you go to an utterly trash high school but even then it's substantially minimized.
Adam Long
True. Doing it at work would also get you fired these days.
Easton Wilson
Okay but imagine the kind of catty cliquish shit that preppy girls do. Japanese GUYS do that shit. It's not just a few bitchy women, it's like all Japanese people.
Gavin Cruz
Oh know I was bullied freshman year by this one upperclassmen in gym class.
James Gray
As an expat, I wouldn't want my child to grow up in Japan or grow up in a Japanese school. Honestly, the best experience would be something international, sometimes the Japanese can be very ignorant.
