In Japan, it's not unusual to see elementary-school-aged children taking public transportation or walking to school on their own, showcasing a level of independence uncommon in the U.S.
Japanese children as young as age 6 are responsible for cleaning their schools, including bathrooms, and serving lunch to their peers, reflecting a culture that values teaching kids autonomy and self-reliance.
