If the FT does his 16 classes, turns up in time and the school is happy with his teaching and the way he treats students, then there is nothing wrong with it; it is hard and honest work, and the FT is no tourist looking fora life-long vacation. The latter is nothing else than defaming remark from the original poster of the input above.

So, what should I call a poster who says:

ESL in China is not a job, and I am resolutely not sorry for stating that fact. Your thinking is so small here, it is a hiatus or a holiday, nothing more.

Just a thought, but perhaps you should choose more carefully the poster you defend, in future? Or at least read his posts before saying I'm unjustified in my assessment, otherwise you run the risk of looking a bit silly...
