Goddamn this pisses me off: One lady in that video is moving to China to teach because she thinks they value educators there. My brother told me I should do it because he heard you can make six figures teaching English there. No thanks, I like wi-fi and flush toilets. And this girl is excited to get a forty year old textbook because some country douchebag had it in 1982. I'm glad they're doing something but if the legislature is content to cancel Friday for schools rather than fund them it's going to be an uphill battle
Got a good friend (American) who has been a teacher in China for more than 5 years now. It's a good gig, and China is a modern country in all respects. Fortunately, he has been able to travel extensively within the country, and experience a lot of what the country has to offer.
