I feel I have to 'stick up'for Anne a little here. If I read her original post correctly (it's a little confused now, as this subject is spread accross a range of threads), then she said that her school hires teachers from a variety of countries, and the bad apple was lazy and came in late etc.
I don't think she accused all teachers from one country of being the same, though we all know Americans are crazy, Africans can't speak English and I won't even start on the English! (That last sentence was a joke ok)
I have seen 'bad' teachers from a variety of countries, some, I am sorry to say have been at my school. They were fired or left of their own accord.

I think we should be saying 'Kudos' to Annes's school for hiring teachers from all over. At least they have given them a go.

AS for number 3> below, well I have to say that YES, such is the demand for teachers in China, the rules tend to be bent. This situation seems to be slowly being addressed by the govt. but it int going to go away soon, which gives unscrupulous schools the chance to rip poor Chinese students off.

Am I rambling again? Been at the Bai Jui a little today! :-) (Thump as he falls off the stool).
