I wasn’t trying to be serious, if that wasn’t clear.

With literally no communication, that student has bigger things to worry about than grades, like why are Mommy and Daddy shutting me out?

If teachers refers to our current style of teaching in public education, then maybe.

Japan is such an anomaly. They are certain ways that don’t exist anywhere else, that would be impossible anywhere else. If Japan didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have believed it could.

Also they’ve been paying for stuff with their phones for years and years—on exactly what basis are they a cash society (though there’s nothing wrong with that)?
