What is Cram School in Japan


What is Cram School in Japan?
I asked a question earlier and I got a lot of replies about Cram School in Japan. Could someone please fill me in about this in detail? Do a lot of people do this? Is it just like a normal class room? Will this eat up all my free time?

It is like a holiday school.... yes it will free up your free time, and yes a lot of people do it... Depends how well you wanna do in school whether you should do it or not...

its a school that most students go to after-school where specialized tutors help them to literally 'cram' more study into their time, so that they can get the best marks and go to the best universities. yes, most students do go to cram-school (i remember i was forced into it) you can either have it with other students or a one-on-one session with a tutor (although the latter will cost more) and yes, it usually goes on from straight after school to around 6-7pm. and they dont help you with the homework you get from school and they give you additional homework, so for the rest of the night youre just studying and doing homework. I dont regret it though, it really helped me get ahead in my studies and although at the time I hated my mum for filling my spare time with study, it helped me do better in the long run.
