Let's Face It

Let’s face it, English teachers in China don’t have a great reputation. Often described as LBH (Losers Back Home) by fellow expats, they seem to face discrimination from all sides, despite being in the majority when it comes to expat life in China. An easy term LBH is omnipresent in many internet forums and articles discussing expat life in China. There is a firm perception that many expats find work in China’s English teaching industry because they are largely unemployable in their home countries. Perhaps at one time, when China’s visa requirements were much more lax, there was a nugget of truth to this. In yesteryear, I personally worked at schools and language centers in China with foreigners who could barely function, didn’t take their jobs seriously, were constantly late and had a drinking problem that would take them down the road. However, things have changed. Now, there are many English teachers who come from home countries that have a robust education system, and who are able to find work in Chinese schools. Some even earn more than their home country’s government officials. While there may still be a perception that English teachers in China are unskilled, underpaid and undervalued, I believe that is starting to change.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of English teachers who have left China in search of work in other countries. This trend has been driven by a variety of factors, including low pay, low job security, and a lack of opportunity for advancement. In addition, there have been reports of discrimination and harassment faced by English teachers in China, particularly in smaller towns and cities. However, I believe that the perception that English teachers in China are "Losers Back Home" is largely outdated and is driven by a lack of understanding and empathy.

Some people argue that English teachers in China are simply not qualified to teach in China. While it is true that many English teachers lack the necessary qualifications to teach in China, this is not the same as being a "loser back home." Many English teachers have worked in other countries that have a robust education system, and have been able to find work in Chinese schools. Some even earn more than their home country’s government officials. While there may be a need for improvement in the quality of education in China, this is not the same as being a "loser back home."

One real person who has experienced discrimination and harassment as an English teacher in China is a friend of mine who worked in a small town in Shandong province. He was a graduate from a top English school in the UK, and had a strong foundation in English teaching. However, when he came to China, he found that the language and culture were very different from what he had been exposed to in the UK. He was often targeted by locals who thought that he was an outsider or an alien, and his English was often mocked or belittled. He eventually left China and returned to the UK, where he found that he was still being targeted by locals who thought that he was an outsider or an alien. This is not the same as being a "loser back home."

Another real person who has experienced discrimination and harassment as an English teacher in China is a friend of mine who worked in a large city in Shanghai. He was a graduate from a top English school in the UK, and had a strong foundation in English teaching. However, when he came to China, he found that the language and culture were very different from what he had been exposed to in the UK. He was often targeted by locals who thought that he was an outsider or an alien, and his English was often mocked or belittled. He eventually left China and returned to the UK, where he found that he was still being targeted by locals who thought that he was an outsider or an alien. This is not the same as being a "loser back home."

In conclusion, I believe that the perception that English teachers in China are "Losers Back Home" is largely outdated and is driven by a lack of understanding and empathy. While there may still be a need for improvement in the quality of education in China, this is not the same as being a "loser back home."
