One thing I hate about my high school is its school uniform. Why should all the students wear the same clothes when they are all different in personality?
芸術や体育の授業も、一般教科に劣らず重要だと思う。人格形成には総合的な能力が必要だからだ。
I think art and PE classes are no less important than academic studies, since you need overall abilities for character building.
Cram schools are often criticized for imposing heavy burdens on students. I would say, however, regular schools are to blame in this regard, since they don't prepare students fully enough for university entrance exams.
