Pal if you think 8000 RMB per month is a high salary...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That job is a waste of your time. If you are not earning at least 15,000 RMB per month plus housing in China you are well under paid assuming you are a licensed teacher. There are no PROS to low-wage crack whore jobs. Tell the Chinese rat bastard to find someone else to shine his shoes and gobble his knob so he can drive a BMW while you get around on a 2 RMB bus. You are not cheap labor. Look at your FEC. What does it say? Foreign Expert.

Specialists get paid to play.

Well, I'm not a proper teacher (never been to teaching college) all I have is a TEFL and one degree but I was getting paid for thirty hours work (20 lessons of 45 mins=30 hours work with lesson preparation) three years ago, 12000 with a flat thrown in. If I had of been a proper teacher, that's to say registered in UK, America, Australia, I would have wanted 15000. I'd say that job probably requires you to work 30-40 hours even though they say 20 lessons. At the moment I only get 8000 but that's only for 12 lessons a week=15 hours atmost a week when I've done my lesson plans-also a nice flat with two spare bedrooms, holidays paid for, and travelling money. As you say, it's not good.

Just because none of us are proper registered teachers in our own countries, if they want to call us foreign experts they should pay well. We don't come half way around the world for the same return we'd expect for the type of job we'd do at home. I used to clean the urinals out in London parks but wanted to better myself, so I did a TEFL course, raided the landlords gas meter and got a plane to China(I did leave him an IOU and paid him back later) I didn't go to all that trouble to achieve 8000 RMB for forty hours work. Wretched people!
