Monkasho changees limits for kids at school due to pressure. I have a question here. The levels were drastically reduced,
but in the JApanese and English (Japan Times) they refer to the original limits as being binding and the new limits being non
binding. It seems I am not the only one unsure what this means.

This group seems ok…Egawa Shoko, etc.
But for some reason some of their stories make Ozawa Ichiro or Horiemon look good (of course, they are in some ways scapegoats, but I wonder if other have opinions about the group)
