Isn't this supossed to be a teaching forum?
Why do need you to be so sarcastic?

Cota,
We will be happy to help you, but you haven't actually asked any sensible questions, have you?
Please cease your witterings forthwith, and formulate some coherent questions, otherwise you will be thought of as an underpant.

One of the schools I used to work for employed a Kenyan, an Indian, an Israeli and a Dutchman (there was a Spanish teacher of English as well, but she had a peculiar accent and resigned after a probationary period). The students knew they all were not 100% native English speakers, but still appreciated the classes. "Selling" a non-native to students as a native is one thing, but familiarizing students with various accents might be another reason as well.
