Japan
Home room in Japanese schools is based on the US model, however it forms a greater part of students' lives. Students are expected to take on tasks for their home room, including cleaning, day duty (notetaking and classroom organization), and the organization of competitive events between home room classes. Home room classes are often reshuffled between years, changing their compositions. They also call it Kumi.

“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
