>how's their educational system?
Atrocious, absolutely Atrocious. Take my experience as hearsay.

In my lowly days as a high school English teacher in Japan, I remember thinking that the way teachers work here is extremely inefficient and unnecessarily tiring. Talk for 2 hours while drinking coffee, complain about being tired for 1 hour, and do all your planning and paperwork after hours. I know there's a cultural element there where people work together and stay late to support others, but it always seemed like they could shave a lot of time off of their work day and still get everything done. I have watched three teachers fail badly at the school I work in, and have seen ludicrously inefficient practices. Teachers fail to use technology well and have little chance for professional development. The kids at risk (those living in poverty, or with learning disabilities, or emotional/physiological problems) do not have special needs teachers, and school counselors have few days at our school and are booked up all the time.

Japan is a dying Nation not worth saving.
