Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy．They feel heavy pressures(压力)from their parents．Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future．Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的)enough．Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope．Such students feel that they hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer．They become dropouts．
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way．Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children．To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends．They only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world．?
Many Japanese schools usually have rules(规则)about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags．Child psychologists(心理学家)now think that such strict rules are harmful(有伤害的)to the feelings of the students．Almost 40% of the students said that no one had tought them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and care for others, even for their parents．

Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school．Parents and teachers think it will make a better learning environment at school, but some students don’t like their school uniforms．So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?
In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called “gakuran” which have dark jackets with stand-up collars and pants．Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku”, which look like European naval(海军)uniforms．
Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms．Boys need to wear long grey or black pants, white shirts and school ties．Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term．
In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th Century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms．They think uniforms make students lose their personalities(个性)．
For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden(经济负担)．Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have．
In a word, love it or hate it, school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you’d better enjoy your school uniform and your school life．
