Newbies,

Just search any major ESL forum and you will find many reasons NOT to teach in China and Korea. Not only are those people NOT to be trusted, but they do not have a clue as to how English as a Second Language should be taught. Granted, there are a few success stories out there. But, it is not the norm. Most people who claim to have a good experience are those who allow themselves to be treated as a doormat, drowning away their sorrows at the bar after work. For those who have an idea of what they are doing and have a passion for the job, they are usually the ones who end up leaving....mainly because they can't deal with backwards, intolerant and ignorant mindset of their environment.

The only way to make a statement is to keep spreading the word and making sure that newbies (the ones who really care about themselves and what they do) are aware of what they are getting into.
