So I think it's actually a bad idea for you to bring a child that age to China unless you expect to stay for a very long time, have the child educated at least through the primary grades at a Chinese school or at a real international school, and raise him bilingually so that he gets the most out of the experience.
So when you return to you home country, you will face some strong questioning and your child will probably be required to test into his next appropriate grade. Unless he does well on the test, he may be held back a grade or two.
It seems that few would-be foreign teachers headed to china with a child in tow rarely give this much thought.
So to answer your question: be up-front about bringing a dependent with you. Some schools may be a good fit for you, but a bad fit for your child. |
So true. |

| International School? It's not likely to be affordable on a salary in China. At least I don't think so. |

If that's the case, no teaching job will suffice. |
