Teaching English when you have a European and American face? In fact, two thirds of them are fake foreign teachers.

  The balance of summer vacation is insufficient, and there is only less than half a month left. For many children, in fact, few days of summer vacation are really holidays, either in the training class or on the way to the training class. Various educational and training institutions are popular, and some training courses under the banner of foreign teachers are more sought after by parents. Many people hold the goal of "cultivating children’s international vision" and hope to find "European and American foreign teachers with pure spoken English" for their children. At the same time, the official statistics of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs obtained by Qianbao reporter are: in 2017, there were more than 400,000 foreigners engaged in the education industry in China, but according to the latest policy standards, the number of legal foreign teachers only accounted for one third. The employment standard of many training institutions is even "as long as it is a foreigner’s face".

  Yesterday, Qianbao reporter interviewed two mothers. They both hoped that their children would be influenced by pure English since childhood. They were not satisfied with the teaching at school, and they all looked for suitable foreign teachers seriously, and then they inevitably fell into countless pits.

  Still haven’t got rid of the fate of being pitted.

  The course of Douma’s finding a foreign teacher for Adzuki can be published as a book.

  When Xiaodou was in a big class, she joined several mothers in the class to find a foreign teacher for the children. At that time, I was looking for a Chinese-American, a young girl, and the class was held at one of the children’s homes twice a week.

  At first, Ms. Doudou thought the class atmosphere was very good, and the teacher’s accent was very pure. Ms. Doudou also liked the teacher very much. However, she later found that this kind of teaching is not systematic, and non-professional teachers can only play an interest-guiding role in the cultivation of children’s English. So when Adzuki went to primary school, Mama began to take Adzuki on a journey to find a suitable English teaching institution, a "process of trial and error".

  Bean mother specially found an intermediary to understand the situation of the foreign teacher industry. Generally, the experience class of training institutions is for the best foreign teachers to come and give children a lot of display space. Parents usually accompany them. When they feel good, they sign up. But in fact, the mobility of foreign teachers in various institutions is particularly strong. The better institutions will train for several months before taking up their posts, and the worse institutions will directly let foreigners put on work clothes to teach their children.

  After traveling all over the major English training institutions in Hangzhou, Ms. Dou took aim at an institution close to home, focusing on exam-oriented education, combining Chinese education with foreign teachers. But Mama Dou still gave up. "A class is very long, but at least 30 minutes later, the teacher is correcting homework and the children are watching cartoons."

  Douma’s candidate is an institution far from home, which combines Chinese education with foreign teachers and is taught by pure foreign teachers. The foreign teacher in Adzuki’s class came from Scotland, and basically had no accent. The classroom atmosphere was very good. As a result, he was happy for less than a year and stopped eating. This handsome Scottish boy jumped ship and went to another training institution. The new foreign teacher is a South African with a strong accent and little teaching experience. Bean mother can only report an online foreign teacher class to her children on the basis of the original class.

  Foreign teachers teach English with tongue nails.

  After all, Xiaodou is only in the lower grade of primary school, and Mama Dou still has time to "try and make mistakes", but Mama Wu has already regretted it.

  In this year’s self-enrollment interview for private junior high schools, her daughter Yiyi failed to enter her favorite junior high school because her English level was "too poor". Mother Wu said that she had made great efforts to get her daughter to attend this junior high school. Not only did I take my daughter to participate in competitions everywhere, but I also deliberately "scoured" various topics from various channels to practice my daughter’s hands. "I didn’t expect to lose in English in the end."

  In the second grade of Yiyi Primary School, Ms. Wu enrolled her daughter in an English cram school for all foreign teachers. "I didn’t learn English well when I was young, and I didn’t get into an ideal university when I was in the college entrance examination, so I wanted to sign up for the most expensive English cram school for my children, so that Yiyi would no longer follow her old path."

  In order to ensure the quality of foreign teachers’ classes, Ms. Wu watched the first few classes outside the classroom. Watching the children in the glass wall happily interact with foreign teachers and read out various words loudly, Ms. Wu put her heart down and didn’t go to accompany her after that. It was not until the fifth grade of Yiyi that Mom Wu discovered the clue. She had never been to several classes, but every time she went, the foreign teachers were different. Not only that, Yiyi often asks her what "tongue nail" and "clavicle nail" are. After a long talk with her daughter, she discovered that in recent years, her daughter has been "mixing" foreign teachers. "The school often changes teachers, and the latest female teacher nailed a nail on her tongue. We are all curious."

  This time, mother Wu was in a hurry and went to this institution to ask around with the parents of the students who were in class together. Only then did she know that the female teacher who had a tongue nail in Yiyi’s mouth turned out to be a resident singer in the bar, singing at night and teaching English in the afternoon.

  "The foreign teacher class is really a big pit." Wu’s mother blamed herself. "I delayed Yiyi. During the interview, Yiyi said that the teacher appreciated her very much, but as soon as she spoke English, the teacher frowned. These three years of foreign teachers’ classes have been learned in vain. "
