Unqualified Scandalous English Teachers

(Seoul, South Korea) Arguably triggered by the arrest of John Mark Karr, the issue of foreigners teaching English to Korean students has been in the spotlight. Competency and qualifications of foreign teachers are being questioned and their objectionable, and frequently vulgar, behavior is being protested.

Some of the anecdotal evidence could lead readers to believe that many of the population of foreign English teachers in Korea are not only arrogant and inept but also sexually aggressive toward students.

I'm guessing the heat will continue to rise in the controversy. Robert Koehler is monitoring at The Marmot's Hole.
