Used to teach at this well known private school here & he had a major problem with students.It was next to impossible to keep them focused in class.I do agree cultural difference is a big problem here & most of the time, the expat teachers are not even aware that what is deemed normal in their countries might seem offensive here.An Australian colleague of my husband showed an educational video to his year 11 boys class a& somewhere in that video there was a scene with a woman in a bikini, just half a second or something but the boys saw it.The next day one of the boys' father came to the school and created a huge scene saying that this western teacher is trying to inflence the culture here.
