Answer: Both topics are okay! You're not simply a teacher, you're an employee in a major company in a major industry in Japan. FAQ: "Can I lose my job for joining this list?" Answer: Hell no. This site's members list is not accessible to anyone. And you are encouraged to enter all false information in your profile. Take care never to reveal to this list your real name or the name of your school. If you follow these suggestions, YOU CAN NEVER BE FOUND OUT. This club is by teachers, for teachers.

FAQ: "Why should I join?" Answer: This is a totally open forum. We share information, not only about teaching but also about the organization, its management, its work environment and business environment.
