A few days ago, I talked to relatives over the Skype to hear how they were doing in Japan. My cousin goes to the Temple University at Tokyo, the public university system of Pennsylvania. All classes are instructed in English by English spoken professors like other colleges in the US.
My cousin told me that he had had two weeks with no school even though it was during the semester. He told me that the reason why they had no school for the whole two weeks was because all the teachers from other countries went back to there home countries. Even though the safety of nuclear explosion was announced, but they were already scared of experiencing other life risking natural disaster. The Temple University at Tokyo finally started after replacing all the professors, who left Japan, with Japanese licensed professors.
That was the big loss for the school to lose all the English spoken teachers because that was the value of the school, which was to speak ONLY English during the classes. The Temple University at Tokyo is owned by the state of Pennsylvania, so I hope that the state will send other American teachers. The Earthquake took too many things from Japan. Now, we work as a nation!
