      Pros

      Great support system in English, JET Programme participant community (all over the country), ability to explore Japan and other countries, having a job that ins't too stressful

      Cons

      Depending on your situation, it can be really hard to build relationships with co-workers and local people. "Every situation is different", so you can't plan for many things ahead of time. Communication can be an issue.

      Pros

      JETs have support from CLAIR , their Board of Education, and local AJET chapters. CLAIR provides training, orientations, and even funding for teaching certifications.

      Cons

      Some ALTs co-teach actively and feel valued; others get stuck reading from a script. Your school, co-workers, and Board of Education make a big difference.
