Actually, it didn't. Glad you caught mine, all three intentional.

They work hard, and are willing teachers, but I never hired one as it was against the private school's policy.

And I agree with another teacher who also read another post where a non-native teacher wrote that "it is ok for non-natives to teach English". But you read that post and see how many spelling and grammitical mistakes he made, while claiming that it's ok for them to teach English. Maybe one day a native English teacher will head an English department and run it in a way that actually helps students.

If you want to know how educated and deserving a native applicant really is, ask him/her to write a 100 word paragraph on any topic of their choice on the spot. From their composition skills you will know if they are deserving to teach. Check for everything, like spelling, syntax, etc.

Good idea , lots of Philippine English teachers about, some are pretty good but some have a proper Philippine accent and I don't want my kids sounding like Carman Miranda when they speak English

The private school where my wife works is full of Filipina teachers.

The school prides it self on having Foreign teachers and are charging the parents a lot of money for Education every year. There are only two native English teachers working there and one Chinese teaching English all the rest are Filipinas.

They get the Filipinas for about 10,000B a month, this school is a complete rip off.
