In response to What's the point? - Teachers discussion (frank andrews)

The fact that the "average English teacher overseas" can't understand such a construct has absolutely nothing to do with skill and absolutely everything to do with experience. Considering the fact that no knowledge of foreign culture is instinctive, everything must be learned. Even how to eat must be learned.

We all start out in life at the same level of knowledge and experience. Are you proposing that some teachers are predisposed to be good teachers and others (of presumably lesser intelligence) are by nature relegated to try in asia..and hells, with no hope of parole? That's like claiming someone is inferior because he speaks one language instead of another.
