Many private and some public JHSs have entrance exams.

You may also be interested to know that some elementary schools do, too.

I don't know how you got that idea. |
I have already explained that. What part didn't you understand?

Not if the government changes its mind about their need, much like it changed its mind about eliminating weekend school days just a few short years ago. Please realize just how insanely fickle the J government is, mostly as a result of its revolving door PMs.
Shiori,
re: entrance exams
This is a thorn in the side of many English teachers (and their students) from JHS all the way into university. Yup, it's a stupid practice that should stop, but people have been saying that for many years,

yet the J government refuses to listen to reality. |

While this is getting very old, no, you did not state which part of any of my posts made it sound like I thought the increase would only be in 2011, therefore you did not explain. You said what you thought I meant, but you didn't say how you had got that idea, at all.
Basically I am putting it down to your misinterpretation of what I wrote, which I can't really do anything about. I meant one thing, you took it to mean another, and you won't accept that I might have meant something different to what you understood. I give up.
As for whether the government might change its mind, yes, and they might not. It's all speculation. |

Yes, this is getting old. I quoted (in italics) what you wrote, and then I talked about what you had "just written", which meant the most immediate previous post.
Since we're clear now, let's not haggle over this anymore. |
