Kids must be goaded and tricked into learning. They need constant feedback and monitoring. This is education for profit on the cheap. Distance learning has been around since the 1960s, and it has always failed. <br />Further, as a Japanese man (?) you should understand the primary purpose of Japense education is social conditioning, hence, the poor English language skills. Even in that component, the Prussian education model cannot be voided. <br />Just reading this crap makes me fear for Japan. It has a unique aspect. When I see charlatans on the Western model propagated there, the end can't be far away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
