Re: -Warning! Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School

although I have no personal experience with these schools, I've never heard a positive word about it from anyone I've met (I'm based in shanghai).

i don't know why but there seems to be a lot of very unhappy people working at these schools. I wish I had an insight into what is going on there and why the same kind of complaints made by "dah216k" always seem to crop up.

last month I took on some new students in my classes whose parents withdrew their kids from here. I've had to set aside some extra classes just so they can play catch up to the other kids as their english did not develop at all during their two years there. my boss told me the school was more interested in their money than providing a high standard of teaching from -what he called- "backpacker teachers who wander round china".

the few FTs i've met said they treat this school as a 'jumping off point' before entering the teaching market in china/taiwan. if thats the case then ok.
