Was hoping to spend the time at home kicking back but need the cash. I have 3 weeks off no pay. Any leads for me? Any age/class size okay but must be Zhuhai proper- I need to go home for lunch, or after about 4 or 5 hours- feed the baby. I have a lead in Zhongshan which includes transportation, but since it is a new venture I think it may not pan out as presented. Thanks.

I pity the kids who have to go to school during holidays so that someone else can survive!

haha- I was volunteered for winter camp last year- although it was clearly not in my contract- trying to hide morning sickness- where was your pity then? Smile anyway I pity them every sunday when I know they don't get one single day at home just to kick back!

There is a winter camp for the kids downstairs at my school - Oriental.

It's in Nanping. I believe that they are subcontracting most of the teaching to English First, but last year there were a few independent teachers.

The headmistress is a lady called Mrs Kan.

I am not directly involved with downstairs, but if you are interested, I can try and find out more information.

I am honestly glad some offer has come your way, hesterprynne!
Sorry if I came across as sarcastic before! Your baby deserves you and, and you deserve luck! !

there is gong bei middle school that is looking for teachers and and oxbridge school in Shenzhen, but forget Roger's comments. He shoots of the cuff with an angry, unconsidered and bitter tongue. People like him should recongnize that they have bitter forienger syndrome and go home to thier minium wage jobs.

Hey Roger! McDonalds is waiting for you and your aliases's rants.

What's the matter with you, cousin? The wine in your veins has seriously interferred with your typing; no doubt your thinking also is impaired! Haven't you noticed that hesterprynne and I get along excellently?

Xinnian kuaile, xiao pengyou!

Do you have a contact for Gongbei Middle School? Is that the one by the primary school? I would be interested in any info you have about them. I live right next to "Experimental Middle School" by Hai Wan Hua Yuan, but I have no idea how to approach them. I have a full-time gig- I need winter camp work, though! I do have one iron in the fire, though- awaiting confirmation. And Roger and I do get along :0)
