Quote mesmark It's amazing and since I work at both (public school and private) I can see the waste. The sad part is that the Japanese school system has become reliant upon the after school (private) system to sustain the level of education, IMO.
I may be part of the problem.  |
Very true. The public schools have so much money that they seriously don't know what to do with it! A school nearby where I used to teach has about 8 computers and they are not even connected to a power source or Internet! They are just there for show. The problem is here (with everything in this government) is that if they don't spend all the money that they get every year then they will get less next year. In that case no forward planning is taken into account. If you come to Korea now you'll see lots of roadworks, most for no reason except to use up the money the government gave them before the year is out.
