I first taught in China in 2001 and I had the same problem. I had a student who never attends any classes at all. The only time I or any of us foreign teachers saw her was on the day of the final examination.

All of us did not hesitate to fail her. But what shocked us out of our skin was that she had her results altered without our approval. She could not even hold a conversation for more than 60 seconds.

All of us foreign teachers almost died of heart attack when we fond out that after graduation she was offered an English teaching job at the university where we taught.

We have to live with the fact that this is China.
