I found an interesting article in Japanese which was written by a Japanese writer.
It is written about Japanese education.
Our way of education stands on the way "Every one get a good score or a pass mark even if they study hard. If they don't do that it is because of their lack of morale or surroundings.
So most of activities are don by a group at school. And we don't usually separate class by their grade,.
(About Japanese clam schools are completely different)
So we tend to be recognized for groups' activities.
And, Japanese children (or even adults) tend to be motivated by their mistakes or failure. Because they think their failure caused from lack of their efforts.
American children seem to consider that intelligence is built up by 36% their efforts and 64% their natural gift, on the other hand Japanese children seem to consider it fifty-fifty. It is interesting, isn't it?
I think it is why too smart children tend to be picked up their buds of their morale, however there are not so illiteracy children in Japan.

I always found it curious that Japanese children could leave school after middle school (8th grade), for example if they couldn't get into high school. Why is that, I wonder. Does it keep those kids who leave school from getting a good job later?
Thanks for your comment, Rosa. Anyway according to our role, parents let their children go to junior high school. So high school education is not a mandatory education, however I think most of children usually go to high school. Actually a few (my image is few) children can't (my image is won't) go to high school, because of not financial reasons (I think), mental or lack of morale to study. Of course such children usually have less opportunity to get a good job.
Additionally as I told you, elementary school and junior high school education are mandatory education, so if they have some problems at school and it is difficult to go to the school, they can change the school. On the other hand it is difficult to change the high school. It might be one reason a few children quit high school.
