I have been researching this world of ESL for 4-5 months. Just got my masters degree in education from University of Michigan and would like to go overseas to work and learn/live in another culture. I substitute taught in Michigan school systems for ten years so I'm not new to the classroom. Through exhaustive research I have heard so many negatives and so few positives on these boards I am considering just staying home. Anyone have an inspirational word or two? I am considering Thailand or Guangdong.
