Jan31	Words of Wisdumb - NOVA English Teacher Bill Belew January 31, 2007 Know More: Wisdumb american, betrayal, canadian, cocaine, english, japan, japanese, marijuana, nova, sex, stealing, wisdumb Japan locks potheads up and throws away the key. NOVA English School is a popular language school in Japan where Japanese come to learn spoken English. I know a lot about language schools...something I am planning to write on either here or at my sister site ... thebizofknowledge or both. Police found seven foreign teachers, American and Canadian, walking the streets with 1.5 grams of powdered cocaine and 15 bags with 8.2 grams of marijuana in Tokyo's Roppongi district. The investigators arrested one 32-year old teacher on the spot. The teacher who bought the drugs from a street dealer shared these words of wisdumb - "I am buying them for another NOVA teacher." Later, six other suspects were arrested because of this motor mouth. But...as I see it...it's a matter of perspective. The six others going to jail will not appreciate him rambling on to the police. However, the more that get caught the better. I operated a school in Japan for more than 20 years...it's still going on...and we never had problems with drugs. Sex, stealing, betrayal...yup! But, not drugs....I think. Posted at 11:08 AM \| Permalink \| Comments
