zackm: Are you saying that teachers from "western worlds" are good? Are "western teachers" the only people qualified enough to impart quality education. I have come across so many of them from that part of the world who do not know how to write or speak correctly even their own native language let alone teach. Several months back there was a post at QL from a "teacher" from the UK who had posted a query as he had found a job at a leading academy here in Doha. ALL the four line of his post including the subject line had grammatical mistakes. This was from a "native English speaker! When I pointed this out, he deleted the post and sent me an abusive message in my PM. There are many teachers from the east who are better qualified to teach than those from the west and I am stating this from first- hand experience.
