Anyone who lives in Japan (teacher, student or otherwise) have any thoughts on the programs? I've read that the general trend of teaching English to Japanese has become less important. Ie, parents only send their kids if they have the money and to boast that the kids are learning English, the teachers who are hired are often hired for their looks (blond and blue eyed) and have a terrible work ethic.
Anyone care to share any thoughts? It seems for the teacher side of it, it's what you make of it--your experience can be terrible or it can be wonderful, so long as you keep a realistic expectation and go with an open mind.
