Yes, I am in Japan, teaching in Nagano.
The kids don't screw with me because they know I will hit back. Japanese don't do anything...they just take it. I guess that is one advantage of being a gaijin...you get away with a lot of shit.
But I do hate my job. There is absolutely no joy in teaching a class of 35-40 kids where 30 of them hate the class, or you, or the Japanese teacher you are supposed to be helping. That is a shame.
