Think if a student studied under you and made a mistake or did poorly on a test. Immediately the thought will be "What if I made this mistake because my teacher taught me wrong because she didn't know better?" That's a real possibility.

Hehe, "fluid"... Now i feel stupid.. lol
Of course, you're right
My chances are much lower. Maybe China see things differently? Diddent they just recently strated focusing much more on leraning english, and maybe they would hire anyone? Anyways, I've got nothing to loose by checking things out
You only loose by giving up!
