Not impossible of course, but I am speaking relative to teaching in the eastern Asia countries where respect for teachers is an aspect of the culture. Your best bet to minimize difficulty would be to go to the best quality college/university you can. Also, check with the other foreign teachers BEFORE you go and ask them about discipline in the classroom and at the school and if rules are enforced. It can make a huge difference. The UAE will likely be easier than some of the other Gulf countries. I would not recommend teaching high school or lower grades. I hope that helps! Enjoy! Ted Hello Katherine,

I have taught for 15 years and am interested in teaching in UAE , but I really don't want to deal with the same type of students I have in Miami, FL. Any suggestions. this is not the first time I have read the students in the middle east can be difficult.
