Yes...good article...thanks
Deja Vu for many of us

I never thought I'd be an educator. I didn't like most of my teachers when I was a kid. Teachers the world over are typically low paid, overworked and underappreciated. But the fatigue and the hit on my income -- compared to what I might earn in the U.S. -- are what I pay for being part of a rapidly-changing China. As it turned out, I'm not so bad in front of the chalkboard -- I actually like it.

Yeah, "the skinny" is about right. Nothing we haven't heard before, but a nice summary for the WSJ reader. |

I believe the intent was self-aggrandizement.
Could be wrong, though. |
