If it is a real shithole of a city, then I’m afraid that they may care more about ‘edutainment’ than education. Is this a private operation that you speak of?

I have been offered really good money to teach such classes in a small town, where foreigners rarely venture, but dare I say the boss didn't talk that much about education at this planned school, even if indeed there are some educationally minded people on board, edutainment could be the main focus. He didn't even try to lie about that. To be honest, he’s a businessman not an educator and would probably have more of a financial interest than hands on role.

Regardless of what we tend to say about TC bosses, sometimes the parents are equally to blame at pre-school level, they just want to drop the kids off at a TC/play centre to give themselves peace and quiet. Especially the really young, about 22ish mothers who are just some rich guys little ernai/second wife, who just simply lack the mental maturity to be a good parent.
