Comments on: Nova Resurrection or Night Of The Living Dead? http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/11/02/nova-resurrection-or-night-of-the-living-dead/ Japan News Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:49:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Shari http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/11/02/nova-resurrection-or-night-of-the-living-dead/comment-page-1/#comment-96216 Shari Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:32:02 +0000 http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=3057#comment-96216 Saying "Nova in what ever form it is resurrected in, will always represent undesirable and exploitative employment," is an immensely biased statement. The terms of employment for any possible re-branded company are unknown yet Mr. Markles is already condemning them. There is nothing whatsoever to base such a conclusion on beyond personal prejudice. This article has the same flavor as a lot of the "let's Japan" comments. It tastes like an attempt to dissuade Nova teachers from remaining in the country by presenting a completely unsubstantiated pessimistic outlook in order to leave more of the Japan pie for those of us remaining.

Like so many "experts" before him he is ready to discredit and condemn any attemps at rehabilitation before any concrete facts are known. Such irresponsible and negative comments seem common amongst the foreign community in Japan. Most ex Nova students are passionate about improving their english, so im sure any type of sponsorship offer will be highly scrutinised by every party involved as to avoid the same situation from hapening twice.

Nova is dead already. It is the non-liquidable assests of what was Nova that has the real value. The structure of the Eikaiwa School (teachers and students) is ultimately what is fueling any third party company to take over. It’s not nor (once the keys are turned over) ever will be Nova.

I'm putting a penny on the first. This is one of those “make or break” moments for Nova, it either dies here or it makes a surprising comeback. I’m putting a penny on the first.
