Justin, I love it how people like you and the companies you work for want to focus on the contract. Apparently schools can abuse contract until there is no tomorrow yet when foreign teachers leave out of abuse, corruption, and crappy living conditions it's all their fault. I guess for people like you a runner is the ultimate conspiracy of ESL teachers to thwart and undermine poor, innocent, clean places like most of the ESL schools in China, right? Pardon me if I don't understand that.
