My post was not an attack on you per say. I rarely do that to people on this forum, nor am I the spelling or grammar police. My post was based on the clues that I saw on your post. That led me to the conclusion that the post was not written by a native speaker at the time. Sometimes Chinese school employees pretend to be foreign teachers to defend or promote their schools here. A misspelled word or omitted word is no big deal, it happens all the time. Everyone needs an editor, and I am no exception. I can see that you proofread your post better this time, and that has led to a different conclusion about you.

This forum serves as an early warning system. There are good schools and horrible schools out there where people need to take due diligence in investigating before they sign on. I myself did not sign on with a certain school in Harbin because of what I read on this forum. I was new to E.S.L. back then and seriously considered signing on before investigating more. That place was a really shady place that was confirmed on other sites.

E.S.L. in China is filled with corruption, and I am glad your experience has been positive. I have been with my school for three years. When I leave I will recommend it to other teachers. However, I will not recommend the other school across town that keeps bringing in very young British teachers on a business visa. The new teacher now had no clue that she was here illegaly. I told her to have a get away plan and to not submit to any of the school's threats since they can't enforce an illegal contract on an illegal worker. Another school around here promised one teacher a verbal contract renewal in June, and just last week they changed their mind and told her that she had one week to clean her office and apartment. I spent time with her this summer as she told me all about the jobs she had turned down to remain at that school. She liked the school and the town. She got drunk for three straight nights at the local bar this past week. I was there for two of those days. She just left yesterday to Chicago.

Misspelled words and awkward written psosts are not so important. That new teachers should be careful before comming to China is what is important.
