WHAT PROBLEMS DID YOU EXPERIENCE AT A CHINESE UNI BY BEING A SINGLE PARENT AND FT?

What advice do you have to offer another single parent, woman or man?

Thank you. It's me (Cubism) with her book again. You're really helping me recover economically.

Sorry, but I'm a parent, and I just don't buy how someone thinks it is even the least bit intellignet, responsible, and goodly to take a child, of any age from your western home to CHINA when you are trying to "recover financially." You're better off struggling back home to get a teaching license and working the public system. Many employers simply are not going to want to deal with you being the only support for the child - injuries, flu and cold season, school, travel, the unexected. Remember that your primary job, the reason you are granted a visa and permit is TO WORK ... This is not your home country with certain protections as a parent.

Besides, there are countries that are easier to live and work in as well as make logarithmically more money.

Hello, sorry not to be clear. I'm not a single parent. I'm writing a book about teaching in china and my writing coach wants me to understand as much as possible/get facts for a single parent who wants to teach in china.

i just wrapped up ten yrs teaching in china by being thrown out after 2 months, and many dave's board posters like you are helping me recover financially with their insights for my books.

If we're quoting the Gospels:
"Suffer the little children."
