Japanese Teachers' Office

The structure of Japanese high schools is seemingly much different that that of the structure in the US. In the US, for one, teachers are usually assigned a classroom where they will have a desk, all their teaching matierals, etc., and students will then switch every hour to go to their designated teachers' room. In Japan, however, the students are assigned to a given classroom and will stay in this room for all their core classes. The teachers have a desk and their teaching materials in a separate office and will travel around to each classroom.

That means that students will have to go to their teachers' office to find them later if they have any questions or need to make up a quiz, etc. Offices will go from being dead (like this office is now) to being very lively, filled with students cleaning the room or just messing around.

Teachers are in departments according to which subject they teach. This is my 2nd school's English/Japanese/Math office. From this angle, it might look like organized chaos. XD My desk is the one up front, and yes, the math teacher who works at the desk with an anime character screen saver is an otaku. XD
