Yeah, to make it easier on

Yeah, to make it easier on kids, they explicitly teach "si" and "ti" in basic romaji classes (now held in 4th grade elemntary). Makes it all consistent which is kinda fair for in-country usage. Of course, its just yet another thing that cripples English comprehension further down the line but that's another story. The "du" for づ is this but also a good representation of the explicit yotsugana sound "dzu".
