Can someone explain the Japanese "student/school culture" and other knickknacks to me? What is fact and what is fiction? I've only watched a lot of anime, but it seems

It is a very big deal if you are late to school (but main characters in anime are always running late with a piece of buttered toast in their mouth),
seniors treat the freshmen like underlings and have a very strong sense of pride,
students are divided by homeroom classes with a number and letter (ex: 3-F) and students introduce themselves by this,
cool kids eat lunch on the rooftop,
common clubs include: track, swim, and kendo (otakus are looked down upon)
girls wear bloomers,
there are guys who secretly take photos of popular girls and sell them,
girls sell their underwear,
students wear "long" versions of their uniform jackets and skirts as a sign of rebellion,
etc.

Are there any other big ones?

Yeah you forgot the one student that everyone loves.

Alpha Girls have fanclubs.

Alpha Boys have fanclubs.

There always a student council.

There no janitorial staff in the school kids clean everything themselves. Yes even bathrooms and even shit.

You always have at least one guy in class that knows all the girls in the school and has a book or website about them.

>cool kids eat lunch on the rooftop,

I wish American schools let kids go on the rooftop, I always wanted to when I was in High School.

Some girls have up to 100 boy confess their love to them.

The go home club kids and not considered cool.

Class president is a wuss/shy/glasses or a alpha male/female. There is no normal class president.

Bulling is one of the favorite passtimes in school.

No one ever uses the internet or plays consoles or uses mobiles in school.

I remember when I got a letter from some girl to meet her on the rooftop.
But students have no access to the rooftop.

Students have died from getting crushed by the school gate trying to sneak in at the last minute.
Honest.
