When colleges minimize these responsibilities, they ensure that many of their students will be at a disadvantage in the job market.

Colleges that truly care about student employment success are open to new and better ways of operating, constantly implement improvements and monitor the results.

The plot centers around four main characters- Isa is the protagonist who has been forced to teach English simply because he knows a few words and phrases but hates the language because he cannot pronounce it well. Shibamoto is head of the Japanese procession visiting the school (though we do not know much about him as the narrator rarely gives us his point of view).
