There is a poll running on the 'China Job-Related' forum - here:

What this means is that if you're considering China as your first overseas job, take job ads that say 'all resources provided' with a pinch of salt.
Self-developed and brought from home resources are still the most important.

I think that there is, generally, a broad misunderstanding of what "supplied resources" are/should be.

To me that would mean things like books, staff/school computers, internet connection, printers, copy machine, laminating machine, etc. that are necessary for a teacher to adequately prepare his/her lessons.

It would/should NOT mean supplied lesson plans and a turn-key to the classroom (walk, talk and leave).

I intended 'items' to mean physical items not services.
