The best teachers of English in China would be the now grown-up children of Chinese expats in Western countries whose mother tongue is English, but who can speak standard Chinese well. Incredibly, dumb school directors dislike employing them because they look facially of Asian origin! How stupid and unfair this is! The Chinese education system is in a mess, so it doesn't deserve the best teachers. I'll leave it at that.

VJ you have really hit the nail on the head! What a great statement. Just looking at the sorry state of education in china makes you wonder what the concept of being chinese really is. Is it a constant penchant for screwing yourself and your own people over??? That certainly is the case in china right now.
