Interesting post Warren.

I feel more comfortable teaching in china than in the gulf, for one main reason:

1) The confucian respect for elders/teachers.

Arab students think you are nothing more than an indentured servant or slave to do their bidding. When most of them have a filipino servant who brings them coffee and wipes their ass at home,it's harder to teach rich kid abdul who is the son of a sheik or leader...

Thoughts?
