Site Updates

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Jesse

Hey guys,

If you are still visiting the website, I commend you!

Evidently some people are, and they have noticed that we use a different theme–and that theme doesn’t include a link to the forums.

Never fear, they are still there. You just have to type in the address yourself .. or click here:

Josh and Gareth and I (well, mostly Josh and Gareth) are going to start finding ways to improve and upgrade the site to make it more useful to current JETs. It is possible that in the process, you may be asked to re-register, so please be patient with us about that.

Thanks to your donations, we are paid up for about 2 years at this point. Well done!

The Future of Elementary Education in Question?

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Jesse

If you have not seen it, the Daily Yomiuri has published an article about how the current administration is looking to eliminate the Elementary School reforms that were recently put into place. I say that teachers in rural Saga need all the help they can get, seeing how there are fewer and fewer ALTs every year. Please read this post in the forums and consider emailing MEXT.

Also, another BIG thing you can do, is to talk to your ES teachers about it, if your Japanese allows. If they are in favor of Eigo Noto and the new course of study, give them the contact information that we’ve included.
