If not you failed to perform and declining attendance in your class is a reflection of that and you get a bad evaluation because the students stop coming. The

As for working in the education field I would suggest you move to another country. It really doesn't exist in China. It is all business! When you get down to it even the government run schools are trying to make a buck!
