What's the dope on Jackson Five langauge school?

yeah, it's actually called Jacks Five and they are looking for...

Professionals.

I see that they advertise a lot for new teachers and was wondering what kind of deal they offer and what the work conditions and attitudes of the mangement are towards teaching staff.

Thks.

I don't have much on that school. The last report I have is from a couple of years ago. The school I have information on is located on Wen Shin 6th Street in Taichung city.
It was owned and operated by am overseas Chinese man by the name of Jackson Wu, a self proclaimed professional teacher certified somewhere in Canada. If the person you contact matches that criteria it would be a safe assumption that it is under the same management.
All the report says is that it uses a results oriented curriculum, elementary and junior high school students, average to below average pay and registered under a bushi ban license.
The Good:
The school has been around for a few years and hasn't as of yet, attained a bad reputation or changed names.
The Bad:
They are constantly advertising for teachers which means that they have a high turnover. That is not a good sign.
The Ugly:
They are located in Taichung, considered by some to be the new organized crime capital of East Asia. The current government in Taipei has been putting pressure on much of the criminal element so they all moved to Taichung. Taichung is also home to IACC and the band of Andrew Lin's.
