I'm not qualified to teach writing, and I hate teaching it. That other poster, Wow, talks about foreigners coming here like sheep to be shorn. But in the same breathe he says that more than 1/2 are useless in the classroom. So, who's being shorn? Not the useless foreign teachers,they're stiil here, but the Chinese employers. What your fable means, I have no inkeling. I'm just a fairly good native speaker, no more and no less. You can impart your intending meaning in straight English, so I can understand, and the rest of the pretending foreign teachers also!
