I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. Working in "schools" can bring you to kids who grew up in rich families who did not raise them to treat others like human beings. They can see the teacher as just another tool for them to use. In an earlier post about shanghai some other teachers already brought up the issue of how hard it is for expats to make real friends who are local chinese.

Middle eastern kids are ignorant and disrupt the class more. They are also slower to grow up. With that being said they also tend to "scheme" less and are less wicked with seeing others. Chinese students will ask you weird questions and make some inappropriate comments which try to break down your character, especially if you don't have the right "look". I would say that comparing arab students with chinese students is more a pro/con weighing.
