Talk:School Atmosphere/@comment-28053472-20180218173926

The reason why students come to school although there's a killer on the loose is because in Japan, students value their education. Almost every student has a full attendance, to the point that someone with a bad cold or a student quite ill would attend school wearing a mask, and later go to the nurse's office. A person with attendance below 80% would have to repeat the school year.

So, the problem here isn't with the students, the principal should shut the school down or make some kind of announcement.

I live in Japan, and my attendance percentage this year was almost 93%, which for a lot of people may seem good, but it was the fifth lowest out of 20 students in my class.
