James, you seem emotional. I was the same 7 years back. I can relate to what you are posting, but as in past 7 years i've seen a lot more than EF cr*p I cannot agree with the attitude that blacklisting a few companies, schools or centers will solve the coming teachers troubles. In fact, stirring them away from one inadequate place may as well take them to another worse one. It's a real jungle out there and TEFL courses ought to prepare in that area a lot better than they do. It doesn't take one or two months to get trained for such deceitful wilderness like in this country.
Cheers and beers to your next 7 years in China :)
