I met a "prospective HK teacher" in UK, an exchange student from Hong Kong. She confessed that she HATES teaching and she is not very fond of chidren (my obversation). She admitted that she wants to go to a top 3 university in HK and the easiest course for her to get in to be a Kong Girl is to do a degree in Education. That group of HK exchange students speak poor English. They don't like to socialise with children. They said the salary is high in HK wor, stable job.
I can see her in this speical teacher.
