//In reality, the FT in China is neither relevant nor important. The classroom space/time moment with its ethereal opportunity either empowers a teacher or not.//

Good post. By reading many of the post here, I think the last thing FT teachers care is about their classroom. Most of the comments are to belittle China in general. The question is, why to be in foreign country out of personal choice, so different in all aspects taking all this abuse. What happen with the famous western saying, when you in Rome... It seem that even that saying is bs.

Best to you.
