Japan's move to export its education model, via cram schools and digital tools, is less innovation, more exploitation. Packaging learning as a consumable product reduces nuanced pedagogy to mere performance metrics.

The strongest counter
Expanding access to Japanese educational methods offers rigorous frameworks for academic improvement, particularly in underserved markets. It’s a cultural exchange, not exploitation.
