Most schools in China have their own school rules. So do the schools in other countries.

Japan: Most schools demand that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. They also demand that girls' white socks be folded in a certain way and boys' heads be shaved.

Other Japanese schools tell students that they may not date, go to movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission from the school.

US:　　 For safety at some US schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won't fall over on the slippery floors and keeps the schools clean.
