While you may paint my statement as horse hockey, I have indicate money is an important factor and it has nothing to do with Buckland or any accusation of skimming. I have no information that he is skimming and if you do please post this info.

As far as working for a pittance, if you had paid more than just a emotional response to the words that were written, you would have seen that it is all about the money and not about working for a pittance whither or not the academics are up to an FT's standard, expectably one that has no teaching certificate. It is after all, all about the money and to be accused of being corrupt for being concerned about the bottom line is the direction EG took this thread.

So, I guess that if you just work for the money then you/anyone else who does is just a "Dancing Monkey"?

Have you ever seen/listened to this - http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjUzNTczNjg=.html

The 40 minute 40 second mark is revealing in regards to character.

Should a "teacher" back down because his/her boss wants to use their photo in an ad without their permission?

My students are so proud that China is part of the WTO. I, on the other hand, do enjoy buying bootlegged DVD's.

A dichotomy? Eh?

As a "native" American, I have no clue what "Eh" means. Perhaps a "bloke" out there can enlighten me.

"I spent 4 rmb per day roundtrip to take the bus to my first job, and sometimes spent 6 yuan when I took the bus to my second gig on the same day"

If we are "professionals", why do some have to work 2 jobs?

14k rmb a month = 2k USD a month, if that.

Factor in all of the bus rides etc.. and soon 40 hours will creep up soon.

I guess there is a reason for such pompous brethren calling the pigs.

Actually, what happened to that topic is that I posted too long of a reply (which is apparently against forum rules, unbeknowst to me at the time) which causes it to be deleted. Of course, I didn't want this to happen to due to all the effort of creating said long reply. So anyways, what's this about me skimming off the top friend? If you have something to say to me, say it to my face kiddo.

I say - your name isn't really Patrick, kid.

Tell me to my face that you are not just an aberration of the powers that be, "kiddo".

I'll come to Yangshuo, if you buy me a rt flight, and say "it" to your face.

If that is the case, why is it that I was able to read your bullshit, respond, read my response and then suddenly be unable to read the topic?

Please enlighten me.

What galls me the most about living/working in China is/are the lies.

If it weren't for the little *beep* Sky with Odar, I would have probably been a sucker in Yangshuo this past summer. I did have a good time there, on my own, and must type that it felt very good telling Sky to kiss my ass.

4k for 1 month. Just like the Bear, I make more than 10k a month and don't really need "Bucklands" support. My 1st job paid 6k.

A sucker is born every day. All I want is for Pat to visit me.

I wonder why "Patrick" has surfaced now?

Perhaps he is growing tired of the weak Yangshou scene. Drunk foreigners hanging out till day break. Wow! What a life.

It's the truth. Yangshuo is for the dogs.

I declare that the following supports my claim that a "raw nerve" was struck and that those who "replied" felt inferior, in some way, and therefore responded with their petty claims.

The Pigs typed -

"Exactly. I for one don't teach ESL because I contribute greatly to society or am an "academic" as some see themselves. I work for an English training center that runs the "school" as a business and it operates to make money. I teach classes and I get paid for it, so for me it's all about the cash I make...I don't really care who I work for, all they need to do is pay me on time. I figured a long time ago that not many institutions in China REALLY care about the quality of their curriculum and so forth...so why should I lie to myself?

Anyway, if one looks to work for a true learning institution one should be properly qualified and look beyond the borders of China...such institutions here are few and far between. I would say Hong Kong is a great option for someone who wants to invest in their qualifications and reap the rewards...but not in China.

So, yeah, I might be a corrupt teacher as EB puts it."

Until both Chinatwin and the Pig can proudly proclaim that they are "Dancing Monkey's", they will never win.

Touche.

Have a nice day.

Why?

Why don't you tell me mighty one?

Please, kiss my ass Chinatwin, Evaforsure, CJ.

I must type - I do enjoy battles like these. It keeps my senses sharp.

Our BJ "hog" rider typed -

"I have indicate money is an important factor."

"... it is all about the money..."

"...It is after all, all about the money and to be accused of being corrupt for being concerned about the bottom line is ..."

Finally, Mr. Fuzz's statement above wraps it up.

So much for the "real" teachers out there. What do you think Chinatwin?
