English school in Japan

It looks like Japan's biggest English conversation school is having a very tough time and rumors are going around that it will go out of business sooner or later. People who're teaching English there as native English speakers coming from various countries have gone on a strike because they don't get paid. If they don't get paid at all I wonder how they manage to make ends meet. And how inhumane it is to not pay them their due wages. But who cares. As far as I'm concerned I couldn't care less. The news will be distributed worldwide and I wonder what the world will feel about it. Just another disgrace to our country? I couldn't care less either. The school's business started going downhill last year after its fraudulent way of doing business was brought to light by the government's intervention in the wake of accusations from a lot of customers. Over the years they have developed fairly elaborate ways of ripping its students off. For one thing, the school sells a lot of "lesson tickets" with a limited validity to every student when they enter school, while guaranteeing them that they will be able to use them all up within the validity period. However the school well knows that it can't afford to provide every student with the lessons they pay for in advance, because of lack of class space and an inadequate number of teachers. From what I've heard, the amount of money they have to pay just to get started starts from around $3,000 and is about $6,000 on average. But despite the exorbitant tuition, because of the inadequacies much of the tickets go unused and expire. It's a well-thought-out way of fraud.
