Oh, that would be very awesome! (sorry for taking forever to notice this) The bulk of my knowledge comes from watching random anime/dramas, so your help is most appreciated.
Do you know anything about clubs in Japanese high schools? My story was about some students who want to start their own club, but I'm really not sure how that works. What do you have to do to be recognized as an official club (do you need a minimum number of members? a faculty advisor? have to petition?), and who do you have to ask for funding (the school admin, the student council, etc.?) Also, in what cases would a club be forced to disband (preferably other than lack of membership?)
Also, do you know how the grading system usually works? I know there are midterms and finals, but do quizzes/homework also count for a lot? And how often would you expect to have quizzes/homework?
I think another thing was part time jobs. I heard that a lot of schools forbid students from having part time jobs, but is there any way around that, e.g. do they make exceptions for financially disadvantaged students?
Haha, okay, that should be enough for now. Sorry to flood you all at once, and thanks for your help! If you've come across any good resources in your own research/have any recs, I'd also be happy to hear them. ^_^
