http://www.japantoday.com/jp/news/251211/all Let us get our nomenclature correct. NOVA is NOT an English school. It is a financial loan organization. Any foreign language teaching that happens to take place there is superfluous and not part of the core business. English teaching there is a sideshow; which is why they pay bottom-of-the-barrel wages for bottom-of-the-barrel teachers. Any dispossessed bum in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, (including non native English speaking Qubecquois) or the UK, with a Chinese forged college diploma can land in any one of the NOVA loan offices throughout the land. These OLs obtain loans at NOVA precisely to engage in coitus with foreign teachers. (Provided that their teacher fits her image of what is sexually desirable. EIKAIWA school is not a school but actually a hostess club in foreigner version. Patrons pay to have conversations with brainless foreign losers Patrons not only pay to have conversations with opposite sex foreigners but BORROW the money to do it. NOVA profits are resultant from the interest they receive on the loans they issue. NOVA does NOT derive profits from foreign language instruction! Contracts are meaningless. Everyone knows that and everyone at NOVA violates the non-fraternization clause. Some more than others. I know of one good-looking Italian teacher at NOVA who had coitus with every one of his four female students (two of then were best friends a la 3P) and five out of the OLs employed at the office, including the manageress. The fraternization shenanigans were omnipresent there.
