Happy first posting birthday to me...

I`m very close to signing a contract with this school and having searched through the archives have only come across one complaint..is there anything else I should know about this school before I take the leap? I have been in the safety cocoon of Japan for the past two years and this will be my first contract.

Thanks.

Hi there.

I also was asked to take the position.

I hopped on a bus thinking it would be a 15 min ride. I kept asking if we had arrived yet. The snicker on the driver's face told me the whole story.

I arrived, asked a student how much a year tuition was. (80,000 RMB)

Then the head of FT's arrived looking like a pimp in one of those Shaft movies from the 70's. 900,000 RMB of clothes on.

The FT's wouldnt even say hello to the TA that was showing me around. I asked if it was a "close family" and she started to laugh.

They offered me around 6000 RMB.

The good: It seems like a pretty good school. Free apt and a nice visa.
The bad: location. The fact that you will be exploited in working for that price. The contract is as long as a "War and peace" novel.

Thanks for the reply. I thought the pay was a bit low for how much the kids parents are paying and someone on Buxiban.com wrote that the Principal has his fingers in a few bureaucratic pies...

I was offered a position at this school. I was shocked when I discovered the working conditions. Good luck if you want to join this Army.
