Example sentences using "School"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with back in junior high school.
A:
You definitely can say that! Although, it's a lot more common to hear "Junior High" than "Junior High School" (Although it is technically correct).
Keep in mind, there are parts that have Junior High Schools, and parts that have Middle Schools. It's a pretty grey area as to how it is officially split, but Middle Schools typically are from 6th - 8th grade, and Junior High is from 7th-9th. I've seen other schools that do other things, but that's pretty common.
The important takeaway is that after 5th grade or so, there is a second school that kids attend.
Example sentences:
"When I was in Junior High, I used to hang out with my friends"
"Back in Junior High, I had a really great science teacher"
"Back in Junior High School, I was always the weird kid."
-- "Where did you learn to speak English?"
-- "I learned it back in Junior High."

Synonyms of "School" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between Why doesn't this school do anything to help students get grades? and Why there is nothing this university can help students to get degree? ?
A:
The second sentence has too many grammatical mistakes to be compared.
"Why is there nothing that this university can do to help students get their degree?"
One of the biggest differences between the sentences is "grades" versus "degree". The degree is what you recieve when you graduate. Grades are only what you recieve during your classes, and at the end of a class.
By "grades" you are also implying "good grades", right?

Q:
What is the difference between I'm going to the school and I'm going to school ?
A:
"I'm going to the school" the usage of "the" implies a specific school in context. It could be a school already brought up, one that is nearby, or one that is assumed to be known by whom you are speaking with. You can use this to say that you are travelling to a specific school, or even that you are attending a specific school.
Speaker 1: "Umich is amazing!"
Speaker 2: "I've heard! I'm going to the school for a tour next week!"
"I'm going to school" this means you are currently attending school in a general sense.
Example (Interview context):
Speaker 1: "What do you do?"
Speaker 2: "I'm going to school at the moment."
When in doubt you could always mention what school you are going to instead.
Example:
Speaker 1: "What do you do? "

Translations of "School"
Q:
How do you say this in English (UK)? After school camping, my son got sunburned and seemed to be braver and more confident.
After school camping, my son got a pair.
Is that correct?
After school camping, my son got a pair.
Is that correct?
A:
@Ako32
I think you mean 'got a tan', not 'got sunburnt'. sunburn is red and painful.
I think I understand the situation you want to express. I would say:
My son came back from the school camp with a tan, and he seemed more confident and grown-up.
As for 'got a pair' we don't usually use it in this way. It is very informal, and is normally quite scornful / critical. It means you think that the person has been weak for a long time, and now (finally) they seem to be taking action:
He finally got/grew a pair and stood up to his boss.
(= this person has suffered under an unfair boss for a long time. Finally, they do something (brave) and defy the boss.)
I'd personally never use this phrase, unless I wanted to be very critical of someone.

Other questions about "School"
Q:
School absenteeism in Japan is surging after the pandemic. Chronically absent students not only meet academic standards due to missing school but also find it difficult to read. The potential solutions to this absenteeism crisis have been discussed for a long time. However, no best solution has been found. I list three unique systems that affect absenteeism in Japan here.
First of all, there is no well-established home school system in Japan. As there have been no successful home-schooling cases in the past, parents are not familiar with alternative schools and supporting organizations in nearby communities. Adult expectations towards going to school for children get heavier as they are not aware of some potential solutions, such as online schools, home schools, etc.
Second, the school counseling system in Japan is not strongly structured. Although school counselors are mostly part-time, all schools are expected to place school counselors. Due to limited availability, students and parents cannot easily ask and stop by the school counselor's office as they need to schedule a visit. As school counselors are not really accessible to people who need mental support, troubled children will have less chance to talk to someone in a safe space.
Finally, the mindset needs to be changed. In Japan, people are more socially conservative; for instance, they are not welcome to change their minds and actions easily. Because of this, people typically are hesitant to change something drastically, like changing schools.

This is a really interesting topic! School absenteeism was something that surprised me when I moved to Japan. I couldn't recall a single case of school absenteeism from my own school days in the US. I worked at a rural junior high school in Japan with only 70 students, yet we had 5 chronically absent students.
I asked my friend who worked as a school counselor in the US about school absenteeism and she said that in her experience, a school of 3,000 students would have around 1 chronically absent student. She said that US schools have a big focus on early identification. Children considered to be at risk of absenteeism are referred to the school counselor. The idea is that with early intervention, problems can be fixed before they grow larger. If a student has mental health problems so great that they can't go to school, they are recommended to an in-patient therapy program.
I discussed this idea of early intervention and referrals to the school counselor with my coworkers in Japan, but they said that teachers in Japan don't have the power to refer a student showing mental health warning signs to the school counselor. I think they said they can make a referral if the student develops problems with absenteeism, but not before.
I used to think that school absenteeism was only a problem in Japan, but I learned recently that it's also become a big issue in the UK as well. From what I've read, the main problem is that there are long wait times for the National Health Service (NHS) so children with mental health (and sometimes physical health) issues aren't able to access care, and without care problems just get worse.

A:
Done is usually used for one time actions or specific instances of actions not actions that happen over a long time so it’s not great here.
The most commonly used word here is probably “had”.
Everything else is fine. Also there is an error in your question; it should say “do the sentences above…”
