Reading our OP's post, I smell a rat. Where would it be coming from? Then, I am wondering if this is a www.ratsboard.com or the teachers board. Regardless who this board's posters are, they are interested in the field that has been opened to them around the world. If a local employer decides to hire a "foreign English teacher" for some kids or horny females to either promote the language, his/her school or to really teach, it is a local choice. But if that has caused you some personal loses, I am sorry. There are still some jobs left at EF, Web, Metten and some local kindergartens on mainland..please to knife any kids there

Cheers and beers to the esl board that serves all teachers and teachers that travel around the world :)
