Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

I'm wrong? I don't know much about the japanese school system (or whatever school system you are referring to). But in holland the technically 'eighth' grade is 2nd in middle school

Logan M

Japanese schools renumber years when you switch

Asada Shino

Our 'basisschool' or... I guess junior high (?) ends at 6th

Logan M

6:42 AM

It goes Elementary year 1 -> Elementary year 6 -> Middle school year 1 -> Middle school year 3 -> High school year 1 -> High school year 3.

Asada Shino

But we call it 8. We have 2 years of... I dunno what to call it, but we're basically toddlers or young kids there, then 3-8 is junior high and then 4-6 years of middle school

I see

Logan M

There is no year 8 in Japanese schools. If you said year 8, I'm not sure if someone would understand, but it certainly wouldn't be common parlance.

Asada Shino

I see

So many different school systems :P

Shinobu Oshino

they use what they think fit the most

I dont see much different

as our school has adapt both system, nothing change except how they called it

Asada Shino

Aha

Logan M

6:47 AM

The transitions from elementary to middle to high school are somewhat more significant in Japanese culture than in many other places in the world.

Where I went to school, basically my entire graduating class in middle school was the same as my starting class in high school after the summer passed.

Asada Shino

Wow O_o

Logan M

But in Japan many schools (especially high schools) admit on the basis of exams rather than location. Graduations at each of the levels are really pretty important.

Shinobu Oshino

my school has same system with Japanese then, but they change the year now
kinda like Elementary year 1 -> Elementary year 6 -> Middle school year 7 -> Middle school year 9 -> High school year 10 -> High school year 12

Asada Shino

I was joined by... I guess 4 or 5 people from my previous school, when I went from... I guess middle school to high school? And Noone from my high school to uni

Logan M

I don't even think my elementary/middle school had a graduation ceremony. If it did, it wasn't important, since the next school was literally right next door.

Shinobu Oshino

6:51 AM

oh,, so my school system is same with Japan, cool

Logan M

@ShinobuOshino How was it determined where you would go to Middle/High school? Were there entrance exams?

Toshinou Kyouko

We don't have middle school, just elementary->highschool

Shinobu Oshino

there is entrance exams on every school

Toshinou Kyouko

There are enterance exams here for the private schools

Shinobu Oshino

so you choose what school, take an entrance exams, and hope they accept you

Logan M

6:53 AM

That's good. Here entrance exams are mostly only for private schools.

Asada Shino

It's hard to explain the school 'levels' when there are different names for them, but they sound the same, what we call "Hogeschool/Universiteit" is literally translated to "Highschool/University", but those are different levels in the US and Japan I guess

Logan M

American schools are really bad, so pretty much any system is going to do better than ours.

Asada Shino

We have 2 years of kindergarten, 6 years of elementary, 4-6 years of highschool and then 4(+2) years of college/uni. But the first 2+6 years are lumped under the name "basisschool" (basic school)

Toshinou Kyouko

@Asada same here

Except uni is slowly becoming 5 years for science things >_>

Asada Shino

I see

Shinobu Oshino

6:56 AM

4.5 here :)
but I graduated after 5 years :(

Toshinou Kyouko

We didn't really have a big graduation from highschool, because it was assumed most of us would continue onto college/uni - seems it is a bigger deal in Japan/USA

Even in Sweden, I saw they had some dress code

Logan M

We have kindergarten for I think 1 year, then 6 years elementary school, 2 years middle school, and 4 years high school. University varies a lot. You can finish in 4 easily, but a lot of people take 6 or more.

Asada Shino

I see. We had a 'sort of' big graduation? Not sure what you would call big, because the school was relatively small, in a not too big town. But there was no dress code (heck, there are barely any schools with uniforms in holland)

I guess anything non-offensive would do :P

Toshinou Kyouko

:D

Logan M

We had some kind of dress code which no one actually knew or followed. It was pretty silly.

Asada Shino

6:59 AM

But when I graduated high school I didn't see any of them in college, until I met some in different fields after a few months, turned out they were in the same building, but on a different floor and different wing xD

Shinobu Oshino

we have uniform for school, same uniform in whole country, public or private

Asada Shino

@LoganM Hahaha :P

Logan M

Officially our dress code banned any t-shirts with snowmen on them.

Taisho

Logan M

Not even joking about that.

Asada Shino

6:59 AM

@LoganM Whoa, whoa, snowist D:

Toshinou Kyouko

What, but snowmen are great

Logan M

I don't even know why.

Asada Shino

@Taisho Nice peekshur :o

Shinobu Oshino

what's up with snowmen here

Toshinou Kyouko

Shinobu Oshino

7:00 AM

and? you have a snowman picture in your t-shirt or what?

Asada Shino

secretagentsnowman.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/15/files/2012/11/… ...

Toshinou Kyouko

Eep

Shinobu Oshino

@AsadaShino that's sweet

Asada Shino

xD

Toshinou Kyouko

I want a snowman T-shirt

Logan M

7:03 AM

There were other weird restrictions. Hats weren't even allowed until high school at all, and if they had hoods they had to be off any time you were in the building even in HS.

Toshinou Kyouko

We weren't allowed hats at all even in highschool

Asada Shino

My neighbour Snowtoro?

Toshinou Kyouko

:) snowtoro

Aw I was too slow

Logan M

And one of the lines literally bans any clothing with a color associated with any gang. Which means literally every color ever.

I remember one case where they didn't like a particular outfit that was nonetheless perfectly acceptable under all the other rules. So they found a gang which used blue as a symbol color and proceeded to suspend the girl for wearing blue pants.

Asada Shino

@LoganM I never fully understood it, but since these days caps are usually worn by those with a lower education level (I mean the wide caps with a glowy sticker on them) I guess I can understand. But while I never fully understood why caps were not allowed in class, I could, for some reason, get behind it

Shinobu Oshino

7:05 AM

@LoganM did they take of her pants?

Asada Shino

@LoganM What the hell, so no jeans?

What in the world, I mean, I understand ignorance in people with any sort of power over others, it happens, but that is a new low ~_~

Logan M

@ShinobuOshino I don't think so, but she had to have a parent pick her up from school and was officially banned from wearing any blue clothing for the remainder of the year.

Toshinou Kyouko

Blue jeans is pretty much everyone ever

Logan M

They also had really tacky apparel in a dirty box somewhere, and if you violated the dress code they made you change into that.

Asada Shino

Now if you wear nothing BUT blue, all day every day, that's a whole different thing, that could give some strange signals, intended or not, but a blue article of clothing?

Toshinou Kyouko

7:07 AM

Somehow i think if u are in a gang, not wearing their colours is probably not going to get to the root of the problem

Logan M

I should probably mention that one of the school's colors was blue. So she couldn't even wear the school's official apparel.

Toshinou Kyouko

Or prevent anything

Lol

Asada Shino

@LoganM Did she get in trouble for that too?

Logan M

@AsadaShino Pretty sure she didn't bother trying

Asada Shino

@LoganM Hm, somewhat of a let-down, not so much because I'd like to hear about her misfortune, but more that I am surprised they actually did think that one through, instead of just doing that for the sake of doing it

Wait nvm

Logan M

7:10 AM

They've gotten significantly less ridiculous since then I think. The policy used to be over 2 pages in the student handbook, but now it's down to 1 paragraph.

Asada Shino

I meant, did she get in trouble for NOT wearing school's official apparel

But I guess she didn't

2 pages of rules on how to dress and how not to dress. "How do you know you're doing it wrong?"

Logan M

That paragraph still says that the administrators can decide that your clothing violates the dress policy for any reason they choose, but from what I've heard they haven't had to enforce this very seriously.

Asada Shino

Wow, lol, so they have a bad day, everyone does, it's like the real world

Logan M

At that point you might as well just use uniforms. That way it's at least obvious when you're breaking the rules.

Shinobu Oshino

I thought there's no uniform there

Logan M

7:13 AM

But I'm pretty sure there's some law somewhere which wouldn't have allowed them to use uniforms, and even if they had wanted to it would have been prohibitively expensive and too much work all-around to switch.

Asada Shino

Or just do away with ridiculous rules and use reason, not opinion, when deciding what is right and wrong

Septian Primadewa

hi, anyone know "moka" ? the main chara is the girl warrior who had pocket knife in her head..

Logan M

@ShinobuOshino Most places in the US don't have uniforms unless you go to a private school. Only exception I know of is Hawaii.

Shinobu Oshino

@SeptianPrimadewa a knife in her head? sounds like unicorn

Taisho

Septian Primadewa

7:16 AM

not stabbed

Shinobu Oshino

what is that? anime?

Septian Primadewa

i read it when i was child..

Toshinou Kyouko

That looks like one of those phone games where u battle girl cards

Shinobu Oshino

@SeptianPrimadewa don't really remember...

@ToshinouKyouko it even has 3 stars

anyway, gotta go home

Asada Shino

@SeptianPrimadewa All depends on how old you are. reading something as a child xD

@ShinobuOshino See you :3

Asada Shino

I have not been reading manga for very long, so I wouldn't know it, nor does google apparently, searching for manga + moka does not bring up any manga named moka or anything similar

Septian Primadewa

ah i found it..

Ozanari dungeon, lat. name moka

Asada Shino

Nice :)

I did find a result that looked like that, but didn't find the name moka anywhere on it, bad tagging I guess :P

Glad you found it ^^;

Asada Shino

I have coded some C#. Had to help in a C# project :P

That and I'm making a mod for a game in C# in my free time ^^;

Toshinou Kyouko

I have coded one, like 2 years ago - but it didnt use anything C#-ey

Asada Shino

Cool :o (you mean a mod?)

Toshinou Kyouko

8:56 AM

It was a compiler for my own language, but it was using ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/Coco which was kinda its own language on top of C#

Asada Shino

@ToshinouKyouko Your own language, cool :o

Toshinou Kyouko

it was a pretty dumb language :')

Toshinou Kyouko

yup

Asada Shino

Toshinou Kyouko

arr@ is one character less than arr[] :D

Asada Shino

Hahaha

True, true xD

Think of the efficiency!

Toshinou Kyouko

Asada Shino

9:00 AM

Why not just name arrays a :o That's 4 letters less!

My goodness, we're onto something here!

I can feel it!

^^;

Toshinou Kyouko

instead of implementing classes or structs, I made pairs, so you could do like kyouko = <tomato,<girl,anime>>

:D

a@

Asada Shino

does that equate to array(tomato => array(girl => anime)) ?

or array(tomato, array(girl, anime)) ?

And how did you handle TypeDefs for List implementations, if you used < to define an array O_o Or was that your typedef for the array implementation

Toshinou Kyouko

it's its own thing, nothing to do with arrays

Asada Shino

Aha, okay

Cool

Toshinou Kyouko

I'd like to maybe do a proper language sometime

Asada Shino

9:03 AM

Not sure how to interpret that then, in data :P

Toshinou Kyouko

:P sure

Asada Shino

Haha ^^ All in due time :3
