just admit that somebody who happily admits to doing the bare minimum for his classes might.not be the paragon of teaching you claimed him to be.

Yet AGAIN you fail to realize that the chinese education system is based on laziness and mediocrity, hence why do the mainland parents pay for their children to be educated in HK (still considered outside mainland china!) and canada and elsewhere?

I was tutoring a boy from a rich mainland family here in HK, for whose parents money was no object. When I asked them why they preferred HK, they said the education system was better as he can learn english better and that it counts for more than education on the mainland.

The fact is I see it, many mainlanders (parents and teachers alike!) see it, and many of the students see it. Until the shithouse comes crashing down, then Chinese teachers and Foreign teachers alike will continue to abuse the system as it abuses them....like begets like. Turnoi is intelligent enough to notice this, as is SB and myself.
