I'm obviously not talking about JETs and other ALTs, who are usually hired for a limited time period. There seems to be some sort of exception made for JETs and direct BOE hires- I am talking about a permanent employee, as in a foreigner becoming a geography or maths teacher in a public school (let's assume their Japanese is fluent).

Have you ever heard of anyone who's done it without becoming a Japanese citizen?
