Dear education ministry,
In March, I had the opportunity to visit a Japanese school. Kadena Elementary School is located on Okinawa Island in the town of Kadena, and is not to be confused with the school of the same name operated by the U.S. Department of Defense Dependents Schools.
The purpose of my visit was to research successful aspects of the Japanese school system that could be used to improve the U.S. school system. I'm an American educational researcher who believes that cultures should borrow the best practices from each other.
