Smitty, perhaps we should look at what constitutes a great fraud, shouldn't we? Many of us most likely will agree there's a large number of deceitful private training centers around, but then we fail to see the whole picture and the effects of these fraudulent establishments/organizations. Which fraud do you think is bigger; the one where students pay few thousand Yuan for some poor courses, or the one where students pay hundreds of thousands Yuan for their courses? Which fraud is bigger; the one where it all stays in one country or the one where the fraud spreads across the borders and becomes really international? Imagine a fraud where your students get their student visas to a foreign country based on some false applications and bogus courses. Imagine such a fraud where they use the certified educators whom they rip off, lie to, cheat etc. Imagine such an educator with a destroyed career as these kinda fraudulent operations are so high up we cannot really see. There are more and more western educational institutions coming to Asia and especially to the large market of China. From my experience, the ones for abroad studies and for higher education abroad are THE GREATEST FRAUD as locals pay through their noses to get abroad and the institutions that facilitate the process pay megabucks to be in the business. Not that we should promote Hampson bogus English or EF bogus English First etc, but we shouldn't fail to see the real sharks in these poluted waters.

Cheers and beers with easter bunnies around us :)
