Walton has a foreign teacher named S. He's from the UK but doesn't own much beyond the clothes on his back. On the other hand, the president of Walton School is a woman from Taiwan who holds an MBA from an accredited university in the USA. (She's the mother of three daughters, including twins.)

I was a (regional) vice president of my national union in the USA, so I heartily recommend "Making Capitalism in China" by You-tien Hsing. I wouldn't recommend trying to hijack a thread to pursue one's own agenda, however, regardless of how worthy the agenda may be.

The DOS title presented in a previous post by another ghost from the past likely refers to "Director of Studies", which is a defunct and passe' title no longer used at Walton school.

The present, successor title is Director, "Department of International Services", or DIS. Anyone with current, i.e., updated information or knowledge of Walton would know that; such persons would also be aware of much else current to Walton school that I present in my posts.

An another instance of major changes that many who post here miss, the DIS now includes the Chinese Teacher's Assistants as well as the foreign teachers. Streamlining two critical departments into one is another welcome change to Walton school, and is one which brings the two groups together under one manager (director) instead of only in the (non-tertiary) classroom.

Indeed, I'd suggest that statements that would be on message, responsible, informed and current would be welcome additions to the thread.

Anyway, as always, cheers.
