Thanks for the post.

My BA is in English Literature, as part of that BA I also studied English in the classroom, or how to teach english to primary students. I also have a 4 week tefl from the same uni, and intend to do my MA in either American or English Lit one day too. I have not only taught in China, but taught writing in Oman also.

By kicking out qualified or even semi-qualified foreigners, they will instead only get ex army types with no brains and degree, who just want to come to china to have fun with the local girls....all well and good, but they should not bemoan the fact when they then cannot hire dedicated and educated teachers which is what they seek. 6 of 1, and half a dozen of the other as usual.....
