I'm writing a story that takes place in Japan, but I need too know what an average high school day is like. How many periods? When do you get in and out of school? What are the class rooms physically like, and do you have to take your shoes off inside? (thats what a few kids at my school say, but idk if I should believe them) how are the students there, and are you really allowed up on the roof? (again, what kids told me from school) What are punishments and for what? What do you do in PE? What is lunch like? Sorry I'm asking so many questions and Thanks sooooooo super much!

Japanese elementary, middle, and high schools begin around eight thirty. On Monday, at the beginning of each week, a morning assembly is held before classes begin. Everyone attends the fifteen-minute assembly, and the principal addresses the student body. On other days of the week this time is spent in making announcements and taking attendance in each classroom. After this, classes begin. Each class lasts between 40 and 45 minutes in elementary school and 50 minutes in middle school. Students are given a 5- to 10-minute break between consecutive classes. During the morning hours there are four classes, and many elementary schools also include a 20-minute recess. Lunch time starts at twelve thirty and lasts for about 40 minutes. At public schools, where school meals are provided, the students are responsible for carrying the meals to their classroom - where they eat - and serving portions, and for cleaning up afterwards. After lunch it's time for recess, which is about 20 minutes long. Some schools use this time for cleaning the classrooms: The students move the desks and chairs to one side of the room, then broom and wipe the floor, clean the blackboard, and throw away the trash. Afternoon classes begin after the cleaning. In lower elementary school classes are only in the mornings, and the children go home after lunch. But in upper elementary school and higher there are five classes each day; middle school students even attend six classes on some days of the week.
