Ben, you have already admitted that you have never worked in Asia, so you do not really understand the horrible things that can and do happen to FT's in China and Korea.

Myself and other posters here have experienced employer abuse in Asia first hand.

It is my opinion that the educational employers in China and Korea certainly do not deserve to have any forum where they can complain about foreign teachers.

Chinese and Korean school employers are mostly "businessmen" who don't care about the quality of education their "school" provides. Most do not care about what sort of accommodation an FT will live in or how many hours they will work each week.

Chinese schools employ people called "TA's" ( teacher assistants ) , poorly trained and naive young Chinese women, usually graduates from D grade universities who can't get jobs anywhere else. They are basically useless and just a nuisance for FT's.

Another problem: DOS ( Director of Studies ) Once again, poorly trained bullies who just do whatever their corrupt Chinese bosses ask then to do. A bunch of brain dead compliance freaks who work in China so they don't have to return to their Pizza Hut jobs in the West.

This is the truth about working at schools in China Ben, at training centres anyway.

Respect is a two way street, Chinese employers must respect the rights of FT's and treat them fairly if the want any respect in return. So far Chinese employers have not earned the respect of most FT's, they have failed miserably in this regard.
