The boys no longer want to go to school, and we had been having a hard time with our current teacher thinking that she could come to work when she wanted to so we went on the hunt for a new teacher. I interviewed about 20 women. Most were qualified to do the job, but it was so hard to hire any of them. I do not know the full extent of the issues, but I was told my a Chinese friend who tried to hire a teacher herself that any work done inside of a home is perceived as nanny work - which is considered one of the lowest/degrading professions in China. So people do not want to work.
Chinese people are so worried about their image/reputation that they won't even take it as a Summer job. It is just really bizzare to me that child care is so degrading.
