I know baseball teams at high schools are like Confucianism squads, for they're trained with enormous disciplines. They're even exposed to physical punishment sometimes, which I'm not a big fan of. I was always glad that I was not in the team during those days, haha.

But, it's nice to see their politeness, indeed. We definitely need more of it in this world nowadays.

Thanks!

@crazyboyfromjapan Hi Kiyoshi! It was great talking with you today! Thank you for sharing about your experiences with us. I was unaware of the physical punishment you describe. The description of " Confucianism squads" seems very apt and a good way to describe the atmosphere these teams operate in. Thank you again! By the way, your English is OUTSTANDING and if I did not know otherwise I would think you were a native English speaker by reading your comment. -Kurt :-)

That reminds me of that Crocodile Dundee movie when Paul Hogan goes to New York & say's, "G'day" to everyone lol.....Japanese kids are much politer than Australian kids I'm afraid, no matter what age. I think teachers from Japan, China or any other country that has a high respect for education backed by parents; would be very surprised at the behavior of students & their parents here. Unfortunately these days parents often blame the teacher if a student misbehaves, rather than be supportive.

@MicknFumi Hi Mick, Your comments do apply to students in USA as well where discipline problems are on the rise. There does seem to be a higher level of oversight on the part of parents here in Japan which may explain some of the differences. I suspect though that the reality is based on deeper cultural differences which are harder to pin down or quantify. Thanks again for watching and commenting! -Kurt :-)

Lol! Watching people do double takes at you is rather amusing. X)

If I was in your position of getting that much attention, I'd probably get embaressed and ride in the road so that they wouldn't have to stop for me.

@LylesBrother Compare to couple decades ago, American parents today are more involved in their kids daily activity. They are called soccer mom and sometimes soccer dad.
