I would love to see the testemonials of those students, as if they would have anything substantial or productive to contribute. Most Chinese students do not have the maturity or intellect to guage whether or not an FT's teaching style and methodology is effective or not. Out of all the Chinese students I have taught, I would only consider only 15 to 20 per cent to be extremely bright, about five per cent could be considered outstanding. The fact that you would ask students about the effectiveness of FT's shows you have no credibility. Most Chinese students are not that intelligent. The Chinese may have a beautiful language, and some aspects of this culture are interesting, but all this talk about China becoming a great world power is nonsense, the current rate of economic growth is just a flash in the pan, it will not last. The current crop of dummies studying at Chinese schools and universities certainly does not bode well for China's future. The Chinese Government should focus on cleaning up the environment, and providing better infrastructure for its towns and cities. This is what will really provide Chinese with a better standard of living
