But this is what I've observed I have been in China for three years now. At times the non- natives are more dedicated teachers than native speakers. The reason, they have to show their worth constantly or else, they might get replaced in a jiffy! It must be very hard to compete with all these white faces around. Schools are also stricter to NNS they have to have a Uni diploma, TESOL certificate, some teaching experience in order for them to land a job. How lucky we are (us NS) for we don't have to have all of these to teach and live large here in China. I am hoping that some other NS could show the same dedication as our NNS friends.

Bless your hearts.
