Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).

I am a college student to become a teacher in the US. I am working on a paper about Chinese Education. Can you tell me about what it is like for teachers in China? How much money do they make? Is there a teachers Union? Do parents get angry with teachers? How does China work with students how have learning disabilities, special education? How are discipline problems handled in the classroom?
Thank you.
