Some of the older generation still believe this is fact - This was an education system nurtured and cherished for years, stripped by the Americans and torn it down without a thought. The Americans decided to make Japanese schools like their own. They believe many fine things were taken from their schools, and that the proper qualities were lost.

Interesting!
I've actually watched a Sino-Japanese documentary. I think there's still so much about Japan that the rest of the world don't know about...
What about the discrimination amongst the Japanese themselves?
Thanks a lot for replying, BTW!
