In the 1960's, did Japanese educators come to the United States to help Americans develop a more effective education system? There is some evidence that they did. Japanese educators linked to American church groups setup some math schools at churches and some of these became Kumon math schools. Personal experience in Los Angeles indicates that American educators rejected efforts by Japanese nationals and developed a nationwide slogan called "drill and kill" to describe the Japanese system. Was the drill and kill slogan an effort to discredit Japanese educators?Japanmath (talk) 01:17, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
