The meters (gas, electricity sometimes water) can be read on your last day with bills paid in cash on the spot.

• 08:16, 16 October 2024 SeanC talk contribs deleted page Communication problems (Redundant: content was: "All too often, the lives of ALTs follow such a different rhythm from that of Japanese school life. As a result, ALTs end up sitting isolated at their desks while the currents of Japanese school pass them by. ==Scheduling problems== Here are some examples of scheduling problems. * For example, the rest of the staff is gearing up for a school festival, but the ALT's schedule says that the day before the festival, it will be time for the ALT to go to a new school. *...)
• 08:16, 16 October 2024 SeanC talk contribs deleted page Common problems for ALTs (Elementary) (Redundant: content was: "# ''ALTs are spread too thin.'' This one is out of your hands, but talk to your supervisors so they can think about it in future years. # ''There is little agreement on the English curriculum.'' Or what makes a syllabus good. So, resources are scarce. Accordingly, take advantage of the resources other ALTs have shared. In 2011, MEXT will be releasing the Elementary School Course of Study, which should help. # ''No idea what your predecessor taught''. Try contact...)
• 08:16, 16 October 2024 SeanC talk contribs deleted page Common problems for ALTs (JHS) (Redundant: content was: "#ALTs aren't trained to teach English according to the Japanese curriculum, so it can be hard for us to prepare good activities at the appropriate time. In order to solve this problem, the grammar points have been divided into grades and presented roughly in the order that they are usually taught. At the top of each grammar point page, you will find a description of that grammar point. Knowing the names of the grammar points is very useful when communicating with J...)

Before passing judgement on this fact, I think one needs to consider that, in Japan, the compulsory...)
• 04:48, 22 August 2024 SeanC talk contribs deleted page A day in a Japanese junior high school (Redundant: content was: "==The schedule== The Japanese school day is very flexible. It often changes to accomodate school projects. Changing from A-schedule to B-schedule is a common occurance. Another common practice is cutting 5th and 6th period to make more time for school projects. There are certain times of the year when the daily schedule really seems to go crazy.
