I am Robert Stanelle, the Coordinator of English Programs for the Postgraduate Department at Wuhan Textile University. I am shocked to read these posts from people I would consider to completely uninformed. I hold three degrees in education and my published textbook will be coming out in China in the next few months. I have been teaching at Wuhan Textile University for five years and it is an absolutely wonderful place to work and teach. That is why I continue to return each year though I am 68 years old and no longer need to work.

It is interesting that these people can write under aliases and take no responsibility for what they say. I have a feeling that this was started by a young teacher whose contract we did not renew a few years ago due to poor teaching. Since I am involved in evaluating young teachers, I am sure that accounts for the personal comments towards me. Regarding the term "Concentration Camp," it is a commonly used term in China for intensive English programs where the students study English for eight hours a day for a period of two to four weeks. It has NOTHING to do with WWII but simply to the fact they are there to concentrate on English. The Chinese people were not involved in WWII in Europe. The term as used has no connection to WWII in the eyes of the Chinese people and has NOTHING to do with the Jewish people. Anyone who takes the term for other that what it is in a dictionary meaning, is simply reaching beyond what it is and trying to create a problem where there is none. It is childish and reflective of the teacher whose contract we did not renew.

Again, Wuhan Textile University is a wonderful place to teach and work. Anyone should be thrilled to have the opportunity to teach there.
