In response to Re: Probationary Periods For FT's in China (ESLman)

No FT worth his salt should be scared of being assessed as long as it is fairly conducted by persons qualified to assess. Assessments early on in a teachers employment at a school are very useful to weed out those making false claims about ability to teach, rather than entertain, in establishments interested in education, not just profit.

The mechanism is already in place to get rid of pretend teachers at any time during the contract as in the standard contract issued by the State Bureau for Foreign Experts.I don't know what sort of outfit you work for that doesn't issue standard contracts to its FT's!
