Agreed. Some of the statements being made in this thread have absolutely nothing to do with the companies reputation or business practices. I in no way wish to try undermining the anything being said by teachers who have apparently been ripped off, if these things have happened then it is a total disgrace but as are many comments being posted here.
How on Earth is someone supposed to decide between fact and fiction with some of the abuse in here, I certainly can't. Some of the grammar and spelling is shocking too, I cannot believe that this is the standard of English which is then being taught. I know teaching ESL does not require one to have a degree in English literature or language or indeed any particular above average native language skills but when you read some of the articles here, some of which are below B2 upper intermediate level it sends a shudder down my spine. Any country, and I gather this particular thread is China, should be ashamed for allowing such a poor quality to teacher their citizens but then given some of the things I am reading about what schools like this are doing to teachers I guess it is no surprise.
Why not simply stick to the facts and stop constantly repeating yourselves over and over every few posts and make it easy for everyone. Clearly some of you are very angry, as I would be too but come on people... This kind of posting helps no-one at all.
