What's the big deal? Unqualified teachers can be better than the qualified ones. Real teachers, since ancient times, always started out without licenses, credentials, whatever. They were able to pass on to their pupils what mattered, they communicated knowledge, skills. Probably this man did too.
Academic skills can never be accurately evaluated by standard tests students have been drilled to participate in. Wouldn't it be a better idea to gather facts of all students' progress in a national data base and use that as a reference point to decide on education tactics?
Any presumed commitment McCain may have to Japan is not directed at Japan at all. It is, if it exists, to gain more influence, militarily and politically, in the Far East.

If this wasn't all so serious we could imagine Pushy Putin as a comedian. You know, straight faced and all.
