So here is a pickle of a question for you guys:

I have the chance of getting a job with the infamous Wonderland chain of schools, or being hired by a school the title of which I can not find on these forums or anywhere else online. I am unfamiliar with this other school's history. Within 24 hours, I will talk with this school.

So which is better (or less bad, maybe I should say?)-- Wonderland, or the school of which noone has ever heard?

Any suggestions as to what kind of questions would be good to ask the school then I talk to them-- questions that would help me feel better about their stability and such?

Better the devil you know.

By the way, what is the name of this unknown school?

Is it Kosher to post the specific information of schools and things of that nature while I'm in this interviewing process?

Sorry for my ignorance, I'd just rather be cautious.

mammolastan - you've appeared to be pretty uncertain about all this stuff. So why are your only choices between Wonderland and an unknown Hagwon? Why don't you just get a Public School job? I would personally never take a Hagwon job unless I had a guarantee from past employees that it is a decent place to work.
