This is a great example of why the American education system is
the laughing stock of most of the rest of the world.

How dare they take advantage of having someone from outside the
culture, political system, economic system and geography want
to exchange ideas and views.

How dare they see the world from another perspective.

How dare they get used to change.

It might inflict deep emotional distress and harm them for the
rest of their lives.

"Oh please" didn't even take the time to consider that these
exchanges may have been done over many years.

"Oh please" is worried about the it will "affect your students"
with the assumption that it is a negative affect.

"Oh please" has her/his head buried in the ground.
