Who WOULDN'T want to go to school and see that? As for attending school on Saturday, I don't think you will ever see more then a 5 day school week in the states. I'm really not surprised that Japan is ahead of us in the education department. Look at all the stuff they've contributed to the world of technology.
for God's sake it was guys in thier mid 20s who put us on the moon. I challenge you fat slobs to actually crack open a physics book and not whatch the "stupor bowl" but i bet you cant.
