Transition And Restart

Princ.i.p.al Nakagawa nodded at Hamarugen as the presentation proceeded . The kid had been right all along, and whatever doubts remained from their conversation yesterday vanished .

In terms of relative competence the students from Sweden were light years ahead when it came to present concepts in a readily understandable way . Glumly he admitted that the girl on the screen probably was better at it than most of his teaching staff . And she was j.a.panese with only a few years" experience from a foreign educational system .

Still, that system performed atrociously on average . At least according to international tests . But Hamarugen had something else in mind .

Nakagawa listened and watched, and understood . How the planned summer schedule would mesh with the one in j.a.pan . Because on this end Hamarugen and Ageruman had fired up their own thoroughly professional presentation . That they would be able to was less surprising . He knew their backgrounds after all .

But those Swedish high school students . That was troublesome .

"Until you find another teacher," he had said . That was no longer an option . He"d stay on as advisor for as long as possible . Hamarugen had suggested they use the exchange club as a learning platform based on his experiences from providing educations professionally during his previous life .

"I knew the arrivals were important, but I had forgotten their impact when they"re here in real life . "

Obviously a lot was thoroughly rotten with the foreign education system, but stealing what worked was pure brilliance . "You"ll have your "walking talking" sessions . As long as your club members perform better than average . " And they would, he knew that . Himekaizen Cultural Exchange Club was turning into a thinly disguised cram school . No, something different than merely a cram school .

Somewhere deep inside Nakagawa realised Hamarugen wouldn"t stop there . "I can"t transform j.a.pan by myself, but I can create those who will, and I will start here," he had said . "Kiddo, you know, you might just be able to . "

Nakagawa watched how the Swedish students tried to adapt to the pacing of a near perfect, professional presentation given by two persons who had done this for a living . He watched how those students made a frighteningly good job at it .

"You two, you"re inside this small room in Tokyo, and you"re changing people on another continent . You scare me . "Princ.i.p.al Nakagawa nodded at Hamarugen as the presentation proceeded .
