Is it time to regulate foreign teachers' behavior?

As an American living in China, I've seen far too many "teachers" who would never be allowed to teach in their home nation. Many have minimal education (BA, etc.), little real experience, and seem to use "teaching" as an excuse to stay here under a work visa.

I feel the central and local governments need to do more about credentials of the foreign "teachers". However, I do not agree that they should hold "teachers certificates" since these are mostly proof of taking education courses rather than subject matter courses. Teachers should have education and experience in their subject.
