Say on, brother! I totally agree, but with "Korea" substituted for "Japan." Korea's making a few superficial changes, but the major underlying problems remain, which means this country will most likely remain where it is: the highest number of TOEFL takers in the world, but among the lowest scores; firmly average among the OECD nations in terms of test scores, with below-average numbers in the top and bottom tiers.

Ach, but they didn't ask us. Well, in your case, I guess they did, but as for whether or not they're actually listening.... -.-;;
