Nah they'll never take ESL teachers seriously no matter how they act. Remember how conscious of class and status they are...they honestly can't understand someone who is a good-natured adventurer choosing something other than the highest paying job. All they (generally) see you as is a poor piece of garbage who can't make it at home. In many ways like a foreign migrant worker, even if we don't look at each other that way at all. It's a one-two punch of dislike for ESL teachers. On the one hand you are poor by your own standards and thus worthy of disdain, but on the other hand you likely make a lot more than they do so they feel jealous of how easy life is for you. If you can get out of teaching honestly they'll treat you with way more respect, I speak from my own experience.
