"I am interested in languages, how to teach them on-line
and the new teaching skills for virtual learning environments.
Now, after the summer break which has just finished here
in Buenos Aires, I am back to ... announce the beginning of
our 2004 on-line courses programme at the Net-Learning site.
Hope you visit the site and send me your feedback.

Divided Japanese and Education Divided
Daijiro Hida, University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo
Tokyo: Child Research Net - Educational Visions
[This 'paper' compiles rare data on the taboo subject of how
Japan is becoming a class society via expenditures on education.
Working class families are compared with the middle class, and
the two groups starkly contrast. The rich or super-rich may still
be numerically small, therefore not included, but what is found
about middle class families must apply all the more so to the
wealthy. The next step will be inherited privilege, with
neo-samurai pretensions already visible chiefly among the
second- and third-generation politicians leading the country - Ed.]
