There's a lot in what you say, Turnoi but certainly 'Ivy' who got this particular ball rolling is not one of those talented Filipinos and she needed putting down. From what I can glean she's a reflection of this awful 'fake' school, Binzhou.

When I say that FT's should be native English speakers, I did mean mainly. You say you are not a native English speaker, well, i never would have guessed that in a million years, but to be fair, how many others are there around that can hold their corners the way you can? Certainly not all the Filipino teachers I've ever met- they haven't been as good as the vast bulk of non degree carrying Westerners I've come across; although, I do accept there's a very small number of Westerners who could be replaced by Filipinos etceteras...but why? there's bags more top quality Westerners who could be persuaded to stay in China if they were not treated so badly by rubbish training centres and their likes.

No, generally speaking, [edited] schools employ other nationalities because they come cheap.

We might have to agree to differ a little on this one; otherwise, I have the greatest respect for you and what you represent.
