NICE
to see people speaking out, your comments are very true indeed, just a pity
more people did not read the true facts. the US teacher is almost certainly a
CT or someone of low intelligence trying to defend the actions of Hampson school.
hampson only give good schools a bad name.
when these rouge schools start learning to treat people with respect, and not continue to use teachers like slaves, then
perhaps teachers will stay longer,but this is impossible to expect from those who only want to make fast money
regardless whom they walk over.
some of these schools have no real idea of organizing correct English teaching.
how would you feel to have a CT telling you what books you must use for the student,
who is evaluating the English level of the student, you or them.
who is supposed to be actually doing the teaching ?.It's a joke..you will
also find a number of other schools like Hampson who will treat you nice at
first, until some other unsuspecting new teacher comes along and you will be pushed to one side,
you will have served your purpose, hence the big turn over of teachers.
students pay Hampson between 250 to 260 for a 50minute class, that is
for one on one teaching, many who have taught there know this.
a student could find a private English teacher for much less than that, thus saving a lot of money and almost certainly getting better value for money.
most Chinese seem to go by looks, if a school looks nice and flashy wall to wall glass,
carpets and other mod cons, then they are often easily taken it by all the
rubbish they are told. would you judge a book just by It's cover, then buy
it. some people don't have a lot of Choice and have to put up with the hell
of places like Hampson. I called it a place because frankly speaking, it
should not be called a school.such a pity that many students waste so much
money on such places where the only interest is making money by lies.
Hampson will use every trick in the book to get a student to sign a contract and hand over the money.
they will promise you this and that, but they never keep a promise.
they don't pay you for demo's
take a look at the schools and see how well equipped they are.
when you read all the posts about all these bad schools, then ask yourself, can all these people be lying.
the simple answer is NO !!.
I know of a number of teachers who got ripped off by these schools.
still not sure about a school, then ask friends or other western teachers.
if your still in doubt, then type a school name into your browser, look and much will be revealed.
Keep well clear of places like Hampson, and make no mistake, you will get used, lied to and cheated
China has got it's own history to thank for many of it's present day problems and situations.
there is a real lack of modern understanding of trust,respect and morals, for an otherwise lovely people.
