Commercial High School (Japan)
A commercial high school (商業高等学校, shōgyō kōtō gakkō?), called shōgyō kōkō (商業高校?) or shōgyō for short, is a Japanese high school which concentrates more on business and commerce knowledge and skills rather than the college preparatory courses taught in many Japanese high schools. Most students who graduate from a commercial high school directly enter the work force rather than go to college. Most commercial high schools will have "shōgyō kōtō gakkō" in the name of the school.

“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much....

—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
