...schools range from one-room, family-run operations with perhaps 20 students in rural areas to vast urban mills like Tokyo's Yotsuya Otsuka, which has an enrollment of 15,000. Fees run as high as $100 a month, for which the juku, using the same rote memory teaching system that is the staple of Japan's public schools, give students hours of drilling in the sort of names, facts and dates that come up in multiple-choice school entrance exams...
