Why the defense? - Teachers discussion
First of all, I think Hemingway is about 140% on the money here.
I do agree with Mr. Andrews insofar as to say that our being dishonest and unprofessional is indeed not a justifiable or desirable response to the conditions we meet in China.
Beyond that, the big remaining mystery for me is, who exactly is Mr. Andrews defending with all this stuff? The crooked weasel school owners? The amusing-if-they-weren't-so-pathetic schools they run? The social system that allows them to operate the way they do?
The cruel, hard fact is that, at least in China and in its current state, EFL teaching IS a poohole profession.
And it wasn't us, even with our bad apples, who made it that way.
