Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5328575, member: 12088"] I completely agree. As a college prof I remember the consternation when the number of students from China and Korea rose dramatically in the early ‘00s. They’d always been present in the big universities, but now they were coming to smaller schools and wanted to study the humanities. Some colleagues felt oppressed. But I remember being thrilled by the opportunities it presented. There were a few glitches and growing pains initially, but the expansion of everyone’s awareness of the world was more than worth it. Now I look back and marvel at what it meant for our students, who were now introduced to the perspectives of kids from the other side of the world. Blanca and Gandy, and Lou and Nika and Dorka and Inês before them are and were amazing additions to the team culture. This is an important component of any education. [/QUOTE]
