There is no such school called the Longman Backpack Training Center anywhere in Baoji


Not to belittle your terrible experience, but didn't "backpack" sound some sirens before you even considered accepting the job?

Quote:
the head master of the school, who in all likelihood will remain with the school for some time, is an arrogant, foolish, sexist, incompetent, manipulative, primitive individual who would be better suited as a street sweeper


Street sweepers do more for the public's well being than any manager of a private English school. The individual you have described actually sounds best suited for the role of a poorly run private English school owner.

Although the employers of the school followed the agreed-upon contract throughout the year of employment, they were extremely difficult and frustrating to deal with for many reasons.


You should be quite thankful already.

Bugger, I live in Baoji myself and have never heard of this school in this town....

You still around? The main college here is still looking for teachers for next year- I can't believe you didn't try to find it, in this small city! PM me if you want more details.
