In past columns I have written about how many of the foreign English teachers are failing in Korea.

Although there are a variety of reasons for this ― the teacher's youth and inexperience, unpreparedness, inability to adjust to living in another country and professional incompetence among others ― a serious parallel phenomenon is also happening here; namely, the failure of foreign English teachers and those in the business community to Westernize Korea.

It is no secret that many of the foreign English teachers come here with an agenda.

Like the U.S. government, which unabashedly send troops to different nations to spread democracy, many native English teachers here shamelessly indoctrinate Korean children and adults (especially girls and women), into the Western point-of-view by bringing into the classroom ideas and modes of behavior that should be considered out-of-bounds for a native English teacher in a foreign country.


What do you think? Has he changed or gone off his meds?
