Okay, obviously you know nothing of me or my situation, yet you feel justified in jumping to conclusions about my life and choices. To jump to the conclusion that I'm a "newbie" and have no business being in China or outside my own country in the first place is quite presumptuous.

Given your lack of worldliness I am inclined to think most of the problems you have detailed here are overblown even if they actually do exist.

No, they are real. Trust me. I was there, you were not. Overblown? 
I did not expect to be "trained" as a teacher, merely given an overview of the school and their particular methods and expectations, since these vary from location to location. We all make mistakes, right? I hope others will be warned. This particular school lost 4-5 foreign teachers in a year due to their lies, mismanagement, and fraud, and are about to lose some of their Chinese teachers as well.
If anyone needs an integrity test, it should be the schools. I showed up and worked my ass off, as was expected - the school did not reciprocate.
I did everything that was required of me there, and then some. What do I have to show for it? Nada. I'll just chalk this one up to experience. |
You stated in your original post, you found the ad, borrowed money and just blankly came to China. You came here broke. That in itself, is pretty screwed up. Why would someone who has done any amount of Travelling more to a foreign country and not have enough cash for a back up????
You state numerous times that this school screwed numerous teachers out of cash over the past year.
What I want to know is, WHY DIDN'T YOU RESEARCH THE SCHOOL BEFORE COMING? That in itself makes me wonder. |
