I mean, what would prevent teachers from signing up, take the wages, go to work for an addtional week then leave. On average, say all teachers apply and staff apply, take the money and then leave, they would be in the red for like $150,000 at least. In the long run, that would work for them if teachers stayed, but still. They are also looking at the student issue. I read in the Japan times that students will not be getting a refund, but can use the rest of their tickets if they cough up another 25% of the cost of their contracts. I think most will just cut their losses. All in all, I hope everyone does get a new job and that you guys get paid.
