Someone working for the school and responsible for hiring and employing foreign teachers doesn't know how to hire or employee them? What a shock.

That is why you call these folks "clowns" - they are highly incompetent.

But that is China - with the wrong people in a wrong job! How do they get there?

Well, that's the all too common system of corruption and doing someone else a favour who is in need of a job! Real qualification does not matter at all!

How could anyone explain otherwise that at certain unis and colleges there are certain Chinese "teachers" of English who can't speak any English at all? And yes, at a certain college in Quanzhou (Zhejiang province), there is a young Chinese lady in the German language department "teaching" German. And the native speakers over there say that this lady can't speak any German at all!

Can't we then send someone from America to teach the Chinese Chinese language?

Would be a great idea in that land of an entirely rotten education system!
