Of the many China Progams which are best? I have heard some many differing opinions about so many programs....its hard to know what programs generally have a better reputation than others. For instance, WorldTeach seems like a highly used program, but has many bad reviews. Which ones are the best ones?

Here is one place that pays you while you teach students from poor homes. Here in China you will get used if you are not careful. For instance school managements in government public schools will charge around 50,000 RMB for a government teaching position to a newly graduated teacher. If you do not get paid someone at a management level will be putting so much extra into their own pocket. There is no difference between government and private enterprise in China.

If you want to help poor students then get a paid position and give your salary away to poor students. This way you will be helping the poor instead of the rich parasites in management positions. Don't give your money to beggers as they usually will not work if they are given the chance. Beggers make more money than most factory workers. Help poor workers if you have the chance.

One of my students has a mother who works month in month out standing for 10 hours a day in a bolt & nut factory with no days off for 1,000 RMB a month. Her father does the same. You might think that most students from poor homes would study like mad to get ahead but this is not the case. Most have a defeatist attitude as only about 30% to 40% will find a good job after college / university and they know it. The rich kids think that their parents will support them for life so not much luck with many of them also. Expect about 30% to be into study.

Your living costs here in China will cost you 2,000 to 3,000 RMB a month these days as costs are going up here quickly. Sure you can live like a local for about 700 RMB a month but do you want to have a dog�s life?

The best agency isn't a valid question as each placement will be different so it becomes a roll of the dice. Good luck.

A good place to look is Appalachians Abroad run by Marshall University. They do charge a fee, do require you spend some time in training and do have local agents in each city to take care of problems.

I have noticed though that many of the schools where they previously placed you are now not in the program. I haven't talke to the man in charge in a few years, but I suspect, they have had some problems with these schools.

I haven't used their program, because they mainly are in Eastern China.

Progams. Providences.
Go away.

Completely unnecessary. Find a job on your own. Make sure you have enough resources (cash, family, whatever...) to survive 3-6 months + airfare.
