God, going to school in Japan sounds like it would be smothering.

This reminds me of when I was in school. Heavens forbid if you stood out, even if your accessories were the right color.

this is the only manga I have ever dropped because of the art
I tried picking this up again but the samefaces just stop me from enjoying this

Uhhh, that was some sermon........

As someone from a country where there are no such restriction to how you're supposed to look, I always feel bad for these manga-people. (Once a friend came to school with one white, one red contact lense, and that was the only time I ever heard a teacher ask someone to change their look for the day... and even that was because younger kids were kinda scared. xDD) I think there are a myriad better ways to teach this lesson to teens.

Geeze, what a pile of sanctimonious patronizing bullshit . . . and he even believes it.
What it's about is social cohesion. There are two ways to create social cohesion; one is to create a society of mutual aid, where society helps people and people help each other. The other is to make a lot of written and unwritten rules, forcing certain kinds of behaviour, getting people used to observing the norms and being told what to do. Japan does a fair amount of both. The problem with relying too much on the first kind while ignoring the second is you get people who won't sit still for being treated badly, and Japan (well, the parts that make the rules) wants to keep its social stratification going so that's out.
In North America, we rely on consumerism for our social cohesion . . .

this was a really preachy chapter lol. and I definitely do not agree with a lot of what he said. guess that's cultural difference for ya

disagreement aside, I honestly don't know why the author wrote this chapter the way they did. i'm sure there are better ways to prove the point the teacher was making instead of just having the teacher talk at them for half the chapter and we just got panel shots of the students faces. it was overly soapbox-y presented in an extremely boring way

Yea, take this 2010 bullshit out of here. Either kick the kid out of class or fuck off. Unless it's illegal or a weapon, don't touch other people's shit. Teachers who actually exist and do this stupid phone shit need to jump onto the nearest subway tracks. This preachy shit is really fuckin' annoying and I don't know who of his readers and manga readers in general this dumbass author thinks would agree with this annoying, illogical and unethical bullshit.

When I went to school teachers just reminded us to put the phones on vibrate and go outside to answer if it was an emergency... And that was like a decade ago!

nah man fuck those rules
