In response to FILIPINO RESPECT - ESL discussion (Samantha)

I know at least six Filipino teachers in Thailand. They have at most a very mild accent. Is that an excuse to discriminate against them? Hell no. Should schools label these fine teachers 'non-native' speakers? Again--hell no.

The best ESL teacher I've seen yet is a filipino. And she speaks like she's from New York. Unfortunately, she's not from New York. She's from Manila. For that she automatically gets a pay rate that is 50% mine.

The rest of my Filipino friends would blow away most white teachers.....teachers who make twice the money but exert half the effort.
