There is at least one point I can agree with London non-"girl": You should be able to explain grammar points if you are asked, and you should not only be able to explain it, you should also know how to explain it. It is not only about knowing the rule underlying a certain grammar point, it is also knowing how to teach it.

Well, knock me down with a feather, will wonders never cease?!

You do realise, Turnoi, that if you could just stop all the insults and pathetic snipes about my gender, that we hold essentially the same view when it comes to teachers and teaching?

If only you weren't so happy to wallow in your own ignorance over things like my gender, identity and qualifications, you might see that we're on the same team when it comes to the important issue of sub-standard ESL teaching in China.
