Gaijin Private Parts Nathaniel Simmons

Japan's mandate for English education in primary and secondary education provides thousands of jobs for gaijin (foreign) English teachers. However, gaijin recruiting organizations provide only minimal training that does not answer the question: How do or should you maintain privacy at work? This book shares perspectives, insight, and guidance from gaijin English teachers and Japanese co-workers regarding maintaining privacy at work. From healthcare to relationships, this book examines what is considered private, how privacy should be managed, and what is the "real" role of a foreign English teacher in the Japanese school system.
