ozzie, you're quite right..and i havent' file any lawsuits even when i really could. having beef (some factual evidence) with these holy cows doesn't necessarily mean you'll win on mainland, does it? however, if some file their legal actions abroad, this farce organization could be separated and percepted as a franchise of Chinese First, not English First which some still believe in. Then, no academic support would be offered from abroad. copying their materials would only result in other business legal actions from aborad, wouldn't it? what am I talking about here...the EF foreigners want to enjoy China, don't they? .. the EF franchisors want to enjoy their dues whatever the local subscribers offer, don't they? it's all about money, isn't it? any ethics or laws should be secondary, shouldn't they?
cheers and beers to EF bigots :LOL

ozzie, this school is supposedly a western one, although we know how these "franchises" work, don't we? then, those fresh out of school teachers aren't all exactly out of school, are they? what a shame! a western brand name institution sells its sole to the dragon. can you imagine such a job advert in your homelands? in toronto, a 35 year old exotic dancer was turned down at one club once. what followed was a successful 30,000 bucks lawsuit. why doesn't someone take these EF farts to an international court?
cheers and beers to real education and real western companies anywhere
