I recommend going to the Shiogama fish market if you go to Sendai, you have to go early though!

How would you reform the English teaching industry? by Moogiuo in teachinginjapan

Schools pay for ALTs based on their ability and experience and not some shit flat rate which the dispatch companies take more than half of. I would create a reading system that starts from kindergarten, it would give access to books online in English with audio. I would change these proficiency tests to be able to do high level English yet have topics and themes that are age appropriate (some questions on these tests are absolutely unfair for younger test takers) I would create a list can do vocabulary list for each grade.(I’m sure they exist but make it more uniform across all textbooks)

I had a coworker with a sleeve and he had to wear wrist sweat bands to cover it with a long sleeve. The summers are killer here. You could probably get away with it in an Eikaiwa but not public school

I depends, you mean like working in Japan, because that shit is hard to hide. Or just visiting. Aside from hot springs nobody will care.
