Yes,Silverboy,you're dead right in your assessment of the mentality of Chinese students as a whole.
I'd go on to say that at second and third tier colleges and universities in China the laziest and least demanding of the FT's is likely to be the most popular one.
But in stark contrast,I reckon that at key Chinese universities most students won't tolerate being taught by FT's who are incapable of imparting useful knowledge to their charges.
The world of EFL in China is as diverse as the range of cultural norms adhered to by its Chinese recipients.
One cannot make concrete statements based solely on one's particular work environment,as some posters have been doing.I'm glad to see that you're not one of them.
