        That was more likely to be true in China where learning English had more prestige attached to it. However, last year there were educational reforms which included making it necessary for foreign teachers to actually have teaching qualifications, so that eliminates most of the existing English speaking crowd.

          And all the Ukrainians, Belorussians, Serbians, Pakistanis, etc. who were masquerading as Canadian. Now they have to display a copy of the teacher's passport in the lobby of the school. :hahaha:

      Nope, poor kids can't afford it.

      You probably didn't hear, but China eliminated the entire after-school education sector a year ago. Gone. Poof. All those teachers had to go home. Now there's only public schools, and many have real standards.

      Soon you'll have to be a professional English teacher. Like, be certified to teach in your own country. You won't be able to be a random white person and teach. They're not there yet but it's coming.
