  • Description: There are a few ways of achieving this - house systems and class reward charts are old favourites for peer pressure fans - but Japan does things slightly differently. [...]the age of 15, Japanese students stay in the same mixed-ability class groups for all their subjects. Later on, in middle school, this collective responsibility is formalised by having one boy and one girl as "class leaders", whose job it is to ensure the class is orderly and on time. Because this role rotates around the class during the course of the year, the students are more inclined to do what these leaders say, as they will want that obedience reciprocated when their turn comes.
